Wikipedia IPA Speaker
This extension allows you to listen to IPA on Wikipedia.
If you click on IPA (international phonetic alphabet) text on wikipedia, it links to a generic IPA page, which is quite frustrating. This extension adds a play button next to IPA text to read it aloud.

Neat! Is it possible to add wikitionary support?

Russell: If you want it to work properly, you would have to allow the user to manually select a voice with the proper nationality. Otherwise, if you have just an American voice, it can only produce American English sounds. The website ipa-reader.xyz tries to do this, but they don't have enough nationalities.

Works fine but says k instead of ç (cue instead of hue).

It's good in concept, however I wouldn't use this with languages apart from English, in fact I suspect it is't even designed to work with other languages that aren't English. There are many pronunciation errors, such as follows: - diacritics are ignored: e.g. no nasals, vowel lowering, aspiration, palatalisation, or any other suprasegmental - multiple sounds are blatantly incorrect -> /k, g, x, ɣ/ were all pronounce /k/ Overall, it's a decent tool but only for English and I think that should be advertised as such.

Works fine but pronounces ç like k (BE/AE pronunciation of hue vs cue).

Does exactly what it says -- this is amazing for people like me who can never remember their IPA characters.

Extremely useful for Wikipedia users that regularly use it as a language resource.

Doesn't consistently get the pronunciation correct; sometimes pronounces long O's as short O's, for example.

Used to work great, but stopped working recently because the certificate on ipaaudio.click is not properly signed and API call fails.

As of 9/15/2019 and Chrome 77.0.3865.75, it makes no sound, and throws this error: 'https://www.ipaaudio.click/audio' from origin 'chrome-extension://jkgihpigffcfeebgedpklldebdibbnne' has been blocked by CORS policy: Response to preflight request doesn't pass access control check: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. If an opaque response serves your needs, set the request's mode to 'no-cors' to fetch the resource with CORS disabled.

well, it certainly works for English, but it doesn't work exactly as advertised. I tested this with the article about Eithne Ní Uallacháin (the example shown in the overview), and it ended up being pronounced more like /eɪneɪni ulɑhɑn/ rather than [ɛːhʲnʲɛ nʲiː ʊəlaxɑːnʲ]. I suppose it could work for figuring out how to Anglicize a given foreign name, but it absolutely does not read the IPA as written.

Does exactly what it says it does, just click on the little play button and the word is read. Note: Doesn't seem to work if you use Wikiwand, so might not work with some wikipedia extensions (especially older ones).

Works as expected. Would be great to let users change the voice, or auto-select based of location.
