Word2IPA

Turn words into their true sounds.




  Spelling doesn't always reflect pronunciation—especially across different dialects or languages.

  If you're learning English or teaching phonetics, you need a tool that shows how words are really spoken.





  Word2IPA converts English* words into the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA),

  providing a clear and standardized representation of pronunciation.





  *American English only for now, but thats changing soon :)



---

Word2IPA lets you look up individual words or paste entire phrases and see how they are pronounced in the IPA format. It's a perfect tool for language learners, linguists, or speech technology developers.
