Hej do,
I'm not sure just what all TBL includes, but this might qualify.
I'm presenting a paper at this Spring's ICASSP on an automatic
method for deriving a rule-based text-to-phone transducer from
a corpus of Pronlex examples, using ngram concepts common in
statistical language modeling. I can probably send you a draft
if you want, in either MS Word or Postscript form.
