Where can you get a phonics dictionary?

Supplement from 12/17/2007 12:18pm:

the kind of thing I mean is where you look up a word the way it sounds and it gives you the correct spelling.

I am also looking for someone that sells a dictionary in paperback or hardback form. Thanks

This may help - but I do not personally have any experience of it.

This phonetic dictionary lets you find words by their sounds. Search the dictionary by creating phonetic patterns.

There seems to be plenty of phonetic dictionaries for English-Foreign Languages etc but none I know of purely for English.

Googling Phonetic Dictionary brings up 25,000 entries! So there must be one out there.

A possible interest may be the electronic phonetic dictionary (bills itself as the "one-and-only" so maybe it really is) which you'll find at

Another possibility is for you to follow George Bernard Shaw who was an early proponent of Phonetic Alphabets - he was linked to the Fabians (Fabian Society) - so maybe they have put out a phonetic dictionary or might know where one could be obtained. It'd take some sleuthing and googling though. Best of luck.
