About toPhonetics Free
Got an English text and want to see how to pronounce it? This app will turn your English text into its phonetic transcription using International Phonetic Alphabet.
Features:
- See phonetic transcription of the whole text, not just the dictionary forms of separate words.
- Choose between British and American* pronunciation. When British dialect 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.
- 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.
- Where a word has a number of possible pronunciations (highlighted in blue in the output) you can select the one that agrees with the context by tapping on it.
*) American transcriptions are based on the open Carnegie Mellon University Pronouncing Dictionary.

Would be better if could use others languages (German, Italian, French...) no just English for the transcriptions~ Anyway it's really good~~!

Only just downloaded but I did a test run and it seems very promising! Will definitely come back to give 5* after I've used it for a while and can confirm that it's 100% reliable :)

Need reading parallel input texts for easy comparison with phonetics. Don't see why some phonetics are different from other phonetic apps

It's a great app. Just needs a text-to-speech function to read aloud words with pronunciation, that'll make it perfect.

Exactly what I wanted. In simple terms if you want that strange assortment of bracketed letters and characters found near the description in the dictionary. Only downfall is the ads but wasn't enough for me to change the vote as it's exactly what I was after 20 apps before this were not
