The pronunciation scheme is an attempt to guide one in modern Israeli (Ashkenazi) pronunciation; it is not meant to be a transliteration scheme. Thus, for example, kh is used without distinction for both ח and כ (pronounced as German ch in Bach). Capital letters mark to stressed syllables. The following is a guide to the pronunciation of the vowels.

a = as in father
e = as in get
ee = as in see
i = as in fit
ay = as in day
eye = as in eye
o = as in go
u = as in you
‘ = neutral schwa vowel as in ago

I want to thank Serve-a-Verse (http://www.levsoftware.com/Vmain.htm) for providing a starting point for my pronunciation scheme (though I’ve departed in some notable ways), and the Westminster Leningrad Codex site (http://www.tanach.us/Tanach.xml) for making the Hebrew text available.
