Hi,

At SPEX we are currently trying to build up an speech archive.  In this
archive we also want to store transcriptions.  The problem with
transcriptions is that people deliver it in different alphabets.
We have the following questions:
    - Which alphabet would you suggest we should use in this archive?
      IPA seems to be the most extensive alphabet.
    - Is there a (standard) computer representation available for IPA?
    - Are there any  mapping tables, methods, programmes to convert the
      different alphabets (COST-CPA, SAMPA, ...) into IPA?
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks in advance,

Greetings, Sandra Swagten.
