Pronunciation Helper

Hear a word in your browser and see phonetic hints from open data when available.

How it works

  1. Enter a word to fetch open-data phonetics when available.
  2. Press Speak to use your browser’s SpeechSynthesis voices.
  3. Syllable splits are heuristic estimates, not a formal dictionary syllabifier.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Speak upload my word?

Browser speech stays on your device. Looking up IPA may call the open dictionary API from the server.
