Subject: In search of homophones



Can anyone direct me to a fairly complete list of American English

homophones? One that could be downloaded would be ideal, but a

paper list would do. I'm trying to cut down the size of a sound file of

recorded pronunciations that has grown far beyond our ability to

accommodate it.



Thanks for any help.
