PronunDict is both a reverse phonetic dictionary (searching by pronunciation) and a standard one to search by spelling. Pronunciation is transcribed with IPA symbols. It runs on Windows, and should also work with Wine on Linux and macOS.
NEW PronunDict for French project page!

Acknowledgement:
This app uses two external dictionaries (bundled with it):
1. AmEPD -- the American English Pronunciation Dictionary by Reece H. Dunn, (https://github.com/rhdunn/amepd)
2. CMUdict -- the Carnegie Mellon University Pronouncing Dictionary, (http://www.speech.cs.cmu.edu/cgi-bin/cmudict)
Warning:
Unfortunately, this dictionary is not flawless. There are some errors in the dictionary entries. Also, marking of stressed syllables does not always work perfectly, because syllable boundaries are only guessed based on a set of possible syllable onsets.
