PIE (Literacy Edition) Extension

Phonetically Intuitive English (Literacy Edition) is a Chrome extension that can automatically add diacritics to English words to make their pronunciation crystal clear, based on a one-page, easy-to-learn scheme (included in this extension).

This \"Literacy Edition\" is intended for American children learning to read. We also provide an \"English Learner's Edition\" on our website for people who learn English as a second language to learn correct pronunciation, which uses a slightly different scheme that mimics the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA).

Five modes (Full, Less Full, Medium, Lite and Extra Lite) are provided for users of different literacy levels. Modes for advanced learners (Less Full, Medium, Lite and Extra Lite) will show fewer diacritics.
