Hi! Got an English text and want to see how to pronounce it? This online converter of English text to
IPA phonetic transcription will translate your English text into its phonetic transcription using
International Phonetic Alphabet. Paste or type your English text in the text field above and click “Show
transcription” button (or use [Ctrl+Enter] shortcut from the text input area).

Features:

Choose between British and American* pronunciation. When British option is selected the [r] sound at the end of the word is
only voiced if followed by a vowel, which follows British phonetic convention.
International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) symbols used.
The structure of the text and sentences in it (line breaks, punctuation marks, etc.) is preserved in phonetic transcription
output making it easier to read.
An option to vary pronunciation depending on whether words are in stressed or weak position in the sentence, as in
connected speech (checkbox “Show weak forms”).
Words in CAPS are interpreted as acronyms if the word is not found in the database. Acronym transcriptions will be shown
with hyphens between letters.
In addition to commonly used vocabulary the database contains a very substantial amount of place names (including names
of countries, their capitals, US states, UK counties), nationalities and popular names.
You can output the text and its phonetic transcription along each other side-by-side or line-by-line to make back-reference to
the original text easier. Just tick the appropriate checkbox in the input form.
Where a word has a number of different pronunciations (highlighted in blue in the output) you can select the one that agrees
with the context by clicking on it. To see a popup with a list of possible pronunciations move your mouse cursor over the
word.
Note that different pronunciations of one word may have different meanings or may represent variations in pronunciation with
the same meaning. If unsure which pronunciation is relevant in your particular case, consult a dictionary.
The dictionary database is regularly amended with most popular missing words (shown in red in the output).
The text can be read out loud in browsers with speech synthesis support (Safari – recommended, Chrome).

*) American transcriptions are based on the open Carnegie Mellon University Pronouncing Dictionary.

Hello. I’m Turkish and tomorrow I have english classes. My teacher gives me a phonetic homework
and he said “You will do this homework from the dictionary.”But it is very difficult to do it from the
dictionary. That’s why I’m doing it here. Thanks

Hi! i’m ussing this app to confirm the phonetic transcription of those words that have double tt, for
example “Butter” or “Letters”. The IPA remarks that those word with double tt have something called
“tap sounds” and those sounds are represented with the next phonetic transcription : /ɾ/.
Nevertheless, using this app, the transcription of words like “better” or “butter” are represented with:
/t/
I would like to know what are your thoughts about this issue.

Thank you and sorry if my english is not good enough, it is not my native language.

Best regards
