As a non-native Bostonian, I often use this page
(http://www.worcestermass.com/pronounce/index.shtml) to communicate with
the local public. With no audio, it takes a bit more practice.

Pronounce Wisconsin is a collaborative effort between the Wisconsin
State Cartographer's Office (SCO) and MissPronouncer.com. It is an
online pronouncing gazetteer of place names in Wisconsin, including
counties, cities, villages, and unincorporated communities. Over 1720
place names in Wisconsin can be accessed by simply mousing over the map.
Pronounce Wisconsin is also an access point for the SCO's authoritative
dataset of unincorporated places in the state. Although not tracked by
the Census Bureau or other agencies, unincorporated places are real
communities. Over one thousand unincorporated places are displayed in
Pronounce Wisconsin.
