Please make a portable program for windows 10 , for ToPhonetics, I know that there is a app for android but I would aprecciate it for windows, thanks a lot. I love you.
Add German as well
We love your tophonetics website. We are going to use your contraption for a poster we are designing for poetrybyheart.org.uk. – we’ll credit you.
I can hear any content from toPhonetics. What’s problem there?
Add the Turkish Language!
Hello. Are you interested in collaborating on an app I am developing for dyslexics? The founders/funders are in USA I am in the UK. I am just researching how to do something similar, but it maybe better to partner.
Hello, this website is great, have you considered creating an API so other apps could send the text and get the phonetics?
Thanks. It is being considered, although there are a number of technical and logistical challenges at the moment.
We hope it will happen. We wanna API.
Me too
Me too
Me too
I second that!
I found a mistake for the British transcription of the word terrain, should be tɛ´reɪn, not ˈtɛreɪn
Thanks for this website
Thanks!
You should think that it is only an automated script that tends to render the results according to the most used one of all ‘correct’ spelling transcription iterations.
Different dictionaries come with different results.
CAMBRIDGE: təˈreɪn
LONGMAN: teˈreɪn OR təˈreɪn
OXFORD: tɛˈreɪn
GENERAL ENGLISH*: təˈreɪn OR ˈtɛreɪn
Therefore it is impossible to have a “correct answer” with 4 variants accepted as “THE” standard.
A list of sources so I may use this in an article.
