The International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) is the standardized system for representing the sounds of language. It is used by linguists, foreign language learners, speech pathologists, and phonetics enthusiasts to study and describe the pronunciation of words.
This project of mine is a dictionary of words with IPA transcriptions. It allows you to look up word pronunciations and is powered by the database of meticulously curated transcriptions that I have collected from various sources.
The underlying IPA transcription data is captured in a structured, machine-readable format, making it possible to use it to build language models, train speech recognition/synthesis algorithms, and conduct phonetic research. The pronunciations follow the format used by Wikipedia's IPAc-en template.
