IPA to Speech is an online tool for narrating IPA transcriptions in multiple languages. It allows users to experiment with writing their own IPA pronunciations and instantly "preview" those transcriptions as speech audios generated using the IPA-to-speech technology.
The International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) is the lingua franca of phonetics, capable of expressing the pronunciation of words from any spoken language. This standard phonetic notation is used universally by linguists, foreign language students, singers, speech and language engineers, and so on to represent speech sounds.
IPA to Speech is an online tool for composing speech audio from IPA transcriptions that supports multiple spoken languages. With IPA to Speech, you can instantly preview the sound of IPA transcriptions and learn how to pronounce them.
Once you've selected the target language and entered the phonetic transcription, press "Listen" to play the generated audio pronunciation.
To facilitate the entering of IPA phonemes for different languages, a virtual phonetic keyboard is displayed under the IPA input. This keyboard adjusts accordingly to only display the phonemes that are supported by the currently selected language and IPA-to-speech engine.
