For decades I have used "A Pronouncing Dictionary of American English" by Kenyon and Knott as a concise and accessible tool in learning the IPA. The fact that it's still in print must mean that people still find it useful, but I'm looking for a more recent publication which has about the same scope and purpose and surely has some changes in symbols, stress, etc.

BTW, Kenyon and Knott is online now.– jlawlerMar 26, 2022 at 16:08

2I'd recommend the following three dictionaries, The Routledge Dictionary of Pronunciation for Current English (2nd ed. 2017), the Cambridge English Pronouncing Dictionary (18th ed., 2011) - also available as an iPhone/iPad app apps.apple.com/us/app/english-pronouncing-dictionary/…, and the Longman Pronunciation Dictionary (Wells 2008, 3rd ed.)– Alex B.Apr 25, 2022 at 15:19

If you want newer, the Cambridge English Pronouncing Dictionary current edition dates from 2011. You could even line the two up to see how they differ in their representation of US English.
