About Pronunroid - IPA pronunciation
★★★★★
Pronunroid is an educational game that makes practicing English phonetics more fun!
It's aimed at practicing IPA (International Phonetics Alphabet) transcription of English words using General American accent. It has four main parts:
* Guess symbol: In this game, you are presented with three words that share a phonetic symbol which you have to guess.
* Guess pronunciation: In this game you are presented with a written word and you have to write the pronunciation for it in IPA.
* Guess spelling: In this game you are presented with the pronunciation of a word in IPA and you have to write the corresponding word. This, in addition to training your pronunciation skills, trains your spelling!
* Look up word: This function looks up the IPA pronunciation of a word.
Pronunroid is aimed at English as second language (ESL) learners. You can check out the symbols used at Wikitionary.
Right now, Pronunroid uses for the games the 2000 most common English words. However, you can try to look up the pronunciation of any word with the search feature. If Wordnik is aware of different pronunciations, you will get them all.
PERMISSIONS
The application requires access to Internet in order to download the pronunciations. It also sends anonymous statistics about its usage.
The external storage permission is needed for moving the app to the SD card.

This app is very useful. To make it perfect, I'd recommend including an IPA chart with sounds, plus an option for British or American symbols. Good job! :D

It would be nice if you could put in an option to retrain it or at least stop certain sets from showing up if they don't work for your dialect.

Amazing app. Just what I need being an English language & linguistics student. I think it would be even better if it had tests for voice place manner.

Very inaccurate. Wrong IPA characters (like /g/), missing vowel duration, missing stress marks.

I had my own path to the CMU pronunciation dictionary (also love it, still) but I find this one a handy (so efficient) tool as well..

I can't fathom what dialect pronounces 'far' 'hot' and 'calm' with the same vowel

Its great; the only thing missing is a function to see exames of each sounds. Its something that could be real useful especially when you don't use phonetics all the time, sometimes you need reminders! But it's a great app definitely the best one I tried! Thanks

The app aims for a specific dialect that is different than mine, which is annoying.

Fun and informative app for those taking linguistics at a university level. Noted the transcriptions are definitely not Canadian centric but that's is not a big deal if you are aware of that. Could be better if the transcriptions were already a part of the app rather than needing internet connection. Still great.

Thanks for fixing the small glitches so fast. This app is so much fun and no other compares. I have tried paid or lite versions and all are disappointing. keep up the great work and I would love to see increase in difficulty levels or a mode for full sentences. Awesome;) Alina
