Wikipedia IPA Speaker Extension

If you click on IPA (international phonetic alphabet) text on wikipedia, it links to a generic IPA page, which is quite frustrating. This extension adds a play button next to IPA text to read it aloud.

Clayton Belcher (ID: 000000de9515a776) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/14/2023 omg so glad I didn't have to write this extension since it already exists!!

Diller Winnipeg (ID: 000000f5b262dac3) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 03/14/2023 Russell: If you want it to work properly, you would have to allow the user to manually select a voice with the proper nationality. Otherwise, if you have just an American voice, it can only produce American English sounds. The website ipa-reader.xyz tries to do this, but they don't have enough nationalities.

Markus Heinrichs (ID: 0000001dd00bcf51) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 01/31/2023 Works fine but says k instead of ç (cue instead of hue).

Leilani Woodmore (ID: 0000003a6adebf8d) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 12/14/2022 It's good in concept, however I wouldn't use this with languages apart from English, in fact I suspect it is't even designed to work with other languages that aren't English. There are many pronunciation errors, such as follows: - diacritics are ignored: e.g. no nasals, vowel lowering, aspiration, palatalisation, or any other suprasegmental - multiple sounds are blatantly incorrect -> /k, g, x, ɣ/ were all pronounce /k/ Overall, it's a decent tool but only for English and I think that should be advertised as such.
