Select an alternative to change that occurrence. More phonetic variants are available in the reading choices. Use the unrecorded-word list to locate missing readings.
Turn sentences and paragraphs into International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) transcriptions in 11 languages, including English, Chinese, French and Japanese. IPA Translator pairs a phrase or reading passage with phonetic text, making pronunciation easier to study.
Sentence and paragraph IPA supports language learning, pronunciation practice and phonetics teaching. Compare words with phonetic symbols to recognize speech sounds and word stress, and prepare transcriptions for classroom handouts or personal study notes.
IPA stands for International Phonetic Alphabet, a system of symbols for representing speech sounds. It shows how words are pronounced across languages, rather than relying only on spelling.
Supports IPA transcription of sentences and paragraphs in 11 languages: English, Chinese, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Dutch and Swedish. Some languages also offer regional accents, including American, British, Australian and Indian English; French from France and Canada; and Portuguese from Brazil and Portugal. Available accents and word coverage vary by language; missing readings are not replaced with another region’s pronunciation.
IPA is used across languages. English IPA applies this system to English pronunciation, with differences between accents such as American and British English. English dictionaries may use IPA or another notation, so their pronunciation symbols are not always identical.
IPA transcription represents pronunciation; language translation conveys meaning in another language. This tool converts text into pronunciation symbols and does not translate its meaning or provide definitions.
The first recorded reading is selected initially. Select a dotted reading to choose another pronunciation for that occurrence; repeated words can have different choices.
Names, numbers, abbreviations, other languages and unrecorded words may have no reading. They remain in the output with a wavy underline in the preview. Correct the spelling or use the word dictionary to investigate.
This page produces text transcriptions and TXT files. For a single word’s IPA and SSML phoneme tag, use IPA Dictionary. To hear the original text read aloud, use Text to Speech.
The result combines recorded word pronunciations and keeps the original punctuation and line breaks by default; punctuation can also be removed. It does not automatically interpret word meaning or model connected speech, weak forms or sentence intonation. Check words with multiple pronunciations in context and use the transcription as a guide to word pronunciation.
