Why should it be a web service at all? Hardest part is probably
communicating with audio drivers of your machine? I recently asked
one such tool at
<http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.org.wikimedia.foundation/64143/> and
I was pointed to
http://croak.it/ ; I didn't try it and I don't
know if it's something one could build upon, but surely it's not a
complete solution for us, lacking upload in particular.

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.)
