How do I copy the results line by line to Word?
For now “Side by side with English text” is your best option if you are going to copy it somewhere else. For best results you will have to break up the original text by lines though.
Why [r] instead of [ɹ]?
The website provides phonemic transcription. Since there is no rolling [r] sound in English language and therefore no confusion between the two, API recommends using ‘r’ for simplicity. Most dictionaries do just that.
Can I download the speech audio?
Not at the moment. The speech you hear is generated by your browser, so potentially there might be extensions capturing browser’s audio, but you will have to search extension repository of the browser you are using for that.
Is there an API?
Not at the moment, although not ruled out in the future. We understand it’s a popular feature request, but we need to come up with some logistic solution for managing the server workload.
How can I report a bug in the Android app? I wrote about it to android@mu-sonic.com about a half year ago but it’s still not fixed.
Thank you. It’s been noted.
I notice you don’t use the schwar to represent “er” as in teachER, or ealiER or ERgonomic. Why is that?
Good Job, but I do not see information on which American region or accent did you model your outputs..
It would be safe to say it’s NAmE. You may try CMU Pronouncing Dictionary page as this is what American dictionary is based on at the moment.
Kindly, how can I download the application to my IPAD device?
Huu
If you are looking for an iOS app, it’s here.
please add a Canadian pronunciation
Good job, but the sounds don’t work on Firefox and Brave browsers.
Whether TTS implementation is present or not is the factor of your OS/browser and their versions. Not too old version of Firefox on macOS should be able to playback the text.
Thanks for your reply.
There are my system configuration:
Brave Versión 1.20.103 Chromium: 88.0.4324.152 (Build oficial) (64 bits)
Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS
Version GNOME 3.36.8
I don’t know if I need to install any packet via terminal or any extension on my browser…
Thanks for your time. 😉
It doesn’t look like Brave has any TTS support. There might be Brave extensions providing that feature, not quite familiar with its infrastructure, unfortunately.
I am trying to cite this page in a paper, but I cannot figure out who is the publisher of this site? Can you provide the sponsor of the site?
Any luck with narrow transcriptions? Would be far more useful!
this is an amazing website and it helps me a lot in phonics which am bad at so thanks.
Sometimes the words are incorrectly spelled according to the RP (British): here the “ɛ” sound is proposed instead of “e”, but the latter is correct.
We currently follow the /ɛ/ convention as better reflecting modern British pronunciation. The plan is to add an option for different conventions or custom character sets in the future.
