The benefit of a web app/service is the extremely low hurdle for users to become contributors (the original reason for wikipedia, remember.) jQuery has a range of modules for simplifying uploads, but presumably it would be better as an api call[1]. A simple search on programmableweb.com finds a rather large range of tools which might be mashed into this project, including transcription (though I did not see an IPA transcription). There is a related project[3] found through pw which connects words to video of contextual use and pronunciation (en-only, I think.)
