¡Hola! ¿Tienes un texto en inglés y quieres saber cómo pronunciarlo? Este transcriptor en línea de texto en inglés a transcripción fonética AFI convertirá tu texto en inglés en su transcripción fonética usando el Alfabético Fonético Internacional. Pega o tipea tu texto en inglés en el campo de texto de arriba y haz clic en el botón “Mostrar transcripción” (o usa el atajo [Ctrl+Enter] desde el área de ingreso de texto).
Características:
- Elija entre la pronunciación británica y americana*. Cuando se selecciona el dialecto británico, el sonido [r] al final de una palabra sólo se pronuncia si es seguido por una vocal, lo que también sigue la convención fonética británica.
- Se usan los símbolos del Alfabeto Fonético Internacional (AFI).
- La estructura del texto y de las oraciones dentro de él (cortes de línea, signos de puntuación, etc.) se conservan en la transcripción fonética, haciendo que sea más fácil de leer.
- Una opción para variar la pronunciación dependiendo de si las palabras están en posición acentuada o débil en la oración, como en el discurso fluido (casilla “Mostrar formas débiles”). Las formas débiles se muestran en cursiva.
- Las palabras en MAYÚSCULAS se interpretan como siglas si la palabra no se encuentra en la base de datos. Las transcripciones de siglas se muestran con guiones entre las letras.
- Además del vocabulario de uso común, la base de datos contiene una cantidad sustancial de nombres de lugares (incluyendo nombres de países, sus capitales, estados de EE.UU, condados del Reino Unido), nacionalidades y nombres populares.
- Para facilitar la referencia al texto original, puedes hacer que el texto y su transcripción fonética salgan lado a lado en dos columnas. Sólo selecciona la casilla apropiada en el formulario de entrada.
- Si una palabra tiene varias pronunciaciones diferentes (estas palabras están señaladas en azul), puedes seleccionar la más apropiada al contexto haciendo clic sobre ella. Para ver una ventana emergente con una lista de las posibles pronunciaciones, mueve el cursor de tu mouse por encima de la palabra.
Ten en cuenta que las diferentes pronunciaciones de una palabra pueden tener significados diferentes o pueden representar variaciones de pronunciación con el mismo significado. Si no estás seguro de qué pronunciación es relevante en tu caso particular, consulta un diccionario. - La base de datos del diccionario es enmendada regularmente con las palabras faltantes más populares (mostradas en rojo).
- El texto puede ser leído en voz alta en los navegadores con soporte de síntesis de voz (Safari, Chrome).
*) American transcriptions are based on the open Carnegie Mellon University Pronouncing Dictionary.
NB: Audio playback!
The speech playback feature is heavily dependant on the OS/browser combination you use. If you want your comments about audio quality to be helpful, please, mention your OS and browser (ideally with versions).
At the moment we recommend Chrome on desktops for full audio playback functionality, which includes
Safari dev team has been progressively destroying its in-browser voice support over the last few years and has other TTS implementation issues they don’t seem to be willing to address. There’s little we can do about it at the moment, unfortunately.
On Android, Firefox seems to work best, then Edge. Chrome or Brave on Android aren’t recommended, while Opera doesn’t seem to support speech at all.
Let us know how Audio playback works for you by replying to this comment, especially if you use less common OS/browsers. Thanks!
I’m on Firefox/Windows, and it’s not working for me.
Hi, audio playback is extremely fast, too fast for a non-native English speaker to learn, unless I’m doing something wrong..?
Thanks
You can change the playback rate with the slider next to the playback controls. The default speech rate may differ based on your OS and the browser. What OS/browser are you using?
Thanks guys, I’ve tried that but it is not correlating at all to changing speed? Great page by the way!
Chrome ..
What happens, the speech rate is not affected at all? What OS are you on, is it Chrome on Android by any chance?
It doesn’t work well for me, the audio cuts off when I put an intermediate text and it’s not that long, it’s just a short text but no, no, I read the text, it just reads the first two words and it cuts off and I’m using Chrome and it doesn’t work for me but on the computer it does but not on the tablet, my tablet is a Samsung Galaxy 9 a
Ok, thanks for the feedback. The speech cuts off in Chrome on Android, but ok in Chrome on mac or PC?
On Android, Firefox seems to work best, then Edge. Chrome, Brave on Android didn’t work for me, while Opera doesn’t seem to support speech at all.
The word ‘clunky’ isn’t transcribed
Thanks!
why it stop at the middle
Know issue with Safari, looking for a solution rn.
Is it possible to type the text in English together with the transcription but without reading the transcription
For example:
Do you want to grab lunch? [du ju wɑnt tə ɡræb lʌntʃ]
And just read “Do you want to grab lunch?” without reading [du ju wɑnt tə ɡræb lʌntʃ] ??
Why would you want to input both the text and its transcription? Can you explain what you’re trying to achieve?
The IPA for “bioscience” comes out /baɪoʊˈsiəns/, but “biosciences” becomes /baɪˈɔsiˌɛnsɪz/. I don’t think it is correct.
Thanks!
Hi! It seems that the pronunciation of the word ‘vase” in British is incorrect, transcription is different than the pronunciation of the word by the narrator. Transcription seems to be “va:z”, while the narrator uses the American “veis”. Please take a look at it!
Looks like an Windows voice models’ issue. Pronounced correctly on mac.
Why are the a in “and” and the a in “cat” listed as the same phonetic letter?
Because they are in their dictionary forms. If you want to see weak forms, tick the “Show weak forms” checkbox.
This word is missing: gargantuous
Would “gargantuan” work instead?
I can still use the website normally on Chrome, but for the past two weeks, the audio hasn’t been working. Please kindly check. Both the British and American pronunciations are silent.
I’ve already checked my device and browser settings, but the issue persists.
Indeed the Google remote voices in Chrome stopped working, will investigate.
Did you try selecting other voices? Daniel, Serena are good for British. Nicky, Samantha – for the American.
I’m sad that neither iOS, Chrome, nor Edge are working with toPhonetics. The sounds aren’t natural. I don’t know which path to take.
Your operating system should allow you to download additional voices. Try installing English voices (both UK and US). Then they will appear in the voice selection dropdown. If you’re on mac, don’t install “enhanced” voices as Apple has not only made them unavailable in Safari, but they also block not-enhanced voices as well. They should appear in Chrome though.
Let us know if you want to try and sort it out together over the email.
