Pronunciations are cribbed from Dictionary.com, mostly, with some translation -- particularly for the long I sound: "teyen" is indeed how I'd render the pronunciation of tine. I'm not happy with it, because especially with trailing consonant it's not very clear, but I've not seen a better one in low-ascii characters. I do sometimes convert an unstressed -e- or -i- to a schwa-ish -uh- in the pronunciation guide, as well.
FWIW, I was raised in the Mid-Atlantic with some Appalachian and Eastern Shore* influences, but a couple decades in the Southwest has added something of an Intermountain drawl. Maybe that's part of it?
* Most notably, I really wish the second-person plural "y'uns" was better recognized.
