What is IPA?

The International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) is an alphabetic system of phonetic notation.

The IPA spelling system (phonetic transcription) is more reliable than the English spelling system because the spelling of an English word does not tell you how you should pronounce It.

Linguists designed IPA to be unambiguous: every symbol has only one pronunciation. When you read a word in IPA, you'll know exactly how to pronounce it.

Why should I learn IPA ?

The IPA is used by lexicographers, foreign language students and teachers, linguists, speech-language pathologists, singers, actors, constructed language creators and translators.

Every aspiring polyglot should learn to read the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). It's a powerful tool when learning any language.

What's the challenge?

However, many people find phonetic symbols, which are the ABC’s of transcription, bizarre and hard to comprehend.

How this app makes a difference ?

This remarkable app changes, in big way, the experience of learning IPA. It basically transforms the experience from boring to very engaging by making learning and practicing addictive.

Besides English to IPA conversion allows other conversions: Spanish to IPA, Portuguese to IPA, German to IPA, Italian to IPA, Polish to IPA and Esperanto to IPA.

Roberto Cardona Murga (ID: 000000cea05578f2) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 09/08/2023 El dar diferenes IPAS de diferentes lenguas me parece genial, pero la aplicación de Chrome tiene ciertos defectos que a la larga hacen difícil su utlización pues: A) La carga del html que trae la aplicación luego de hacer click en el ícono de aplicación es muy lenta. B) No se puede cambiar cual voz queremos, ni se puede predeterminar si la queremos por palabras o por oración. C) Sería muy útil que al dar doble clic, triple click o seleccionar texto en Chrome entonces automáticamente se activara la aplicación con la configuración que los usuarios le predeterminemos y mejor aún si es por medio de un pop-up. Y por último y no por ello menos importante. D) Cuando hay casos de texto que en vez de apóstrofe utilizan comilla simple de cierre en vez de apóstrofe por ejemplo en I’m me lo traduce a ipa como / ˈa͡ɪ’ˈɛm / en vez de / ˈa͡ɪm /, algo que es muy importante en inglés pues en dicho idioma se utilizan muchas contracciones como: I’d, you’re, Robert’s, doesn’t, etc. Espero lo arreglen muy pronto para sí cambiar mi calificación.
