Description from store
English language pronunciation can be tricky. Word pronunciation may differ from the spelling. Learn the correct pronunciation by reading any text you like in phonetic transcription!
Using the extension is very easy, just watch tutorial video (30 seconds of time).
If you are a language learner, start practicing, and you will learn how many words you are misspelling every day.
This extension replaces words on a page with its phonetic transcription (so "the quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog" becomes "ðə kwɪk braʊn fɑks dʒəmps óʊvɜr ə léɪzi dɔg"). Just open any webpage and click the extension icon on a browser toolbar to convert text of a webpage (you can always click again to return the original text back).
This extension uses International Phonetic Alphabet. You can learn how to read IPA alphabet by following the link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA/English
Also, you can use extension word pronunciation feature to learn IPA, just click on a transcribed word to listen how it sounds.

- (2025-03-21) jing wu: Really love it, It would be nice if there were shortcuts to turn it on and off.
- (2025-01-13) sword 7: Just the fact that is exists is worth five stars. Stellar. Not only does it instantly transcribe most text everywhere, the click word to pronounce feature is genius. Thank you. Of course there are still some rough edges. The ability to set a keyboard extension to quickly turn off the extension and/or the pronunciation feature is needed. Also it would be nice to be able to choose a different ipa font the render. Web apps with lots of text struggle. You can't type text with the extension on because it will translate to ipa mid word while you are typing and thus not translate correctly. And when you scroll on twitter, frequently new text that is loaded does not render as ipa. Also when you click a tweet to see the replys the new page does not render ipa. Fixes for these issues would get the extension to 6/5 stars haha!
- (2024-11-13) Tankw: I really love your extension, beside Discord everything else work perfectly, if you have some spare time could you help me look into it, it keep crashing my discord browser after like 5-10mins of using, appreciate it
- (2024-07-11) Bogdan Peregubko: Hi, please add a feature to auto-transcribe some sites when i access them (can be like a blacklist(only transcribe these) or a whitelist(transcribe everything but these) so i won't have to click the extension button every time, or a feature that would just remember the state of the extension (if it's on or off) for each site independently, or that would just remember the state of the extension globally for all sites for the whole Chrome Anything but just please make it so that i don't have to turn it on every time... Also, how does it know what "accent" to transcribe English text to? Maybe I'm learning a specific pronunciation. Could be cool to choose between British and American transcriptions. Other than that, great extension!
- (2022-11-25) Shyam Prasad Paleti: Overall - Simple and elegant Loved . The mouse over feature displaying spelling and onclick pronouncing is immensely useful . To be fixed . The font should be retained. Font change is not the core job. . The word stress mark does not follow the convention, The mark is displayed right to the stressed syllable alphabet. Whereas in dictionaries it is on left side of the alphabet. . Feature request British English IPA transcription option
