Latest reviews

• (2023-05-14) Clayton Belcher: omg so glad I didn't have to write this extension since it already exists!!
• (2023-03-14) Diller Winnipeg: 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.
• (2023-01-31) Markus Heinrichs: Works fine but says k instead of ç (cue instead of hue).
• (2022-12-21) L. Delg: not working as of 21/12/2022
• (2022-12-14) Leilani Woodmore: 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.
• (2022-11-25) Markus Heinrichs: Works fine but pronounces ç like k (BE/AE pronunciation of hue vs cue).
• (2022-03-26) George Adam Savvas: Does exactly what it says -- this is amazing for people like me who can never remember their IPA characters.
• (2021-11-26) Russell: Doesn't work. Click on the play button and nothing happens.
• (2021-10-27) Allegra Bottlik: Broken, 27 Oct 2021. Love the concept but it does not work at all for me.
• (2021-09-19) Harry Brooke: Currently broken, looks like the cert expired again. use let's encrypt, we're not cavemen anymore ;)
• (2021-09-12) Luca S: unfortunately i could not get it to work. clicking the play button does nothing
• (2021-05-09) Luke Benes: Extremely useful for Wikipedia users that regularly use it as a language resource.
• (2021-01-27) Jeffrey Cohen: Works as expected!
• (2020-11-12) Kerem Yael Landman: Works as expected. Thanks!
• (2020-09-17) 坂本夏子: 680人使用との事。今これからに期待。
• (2020-09-03) Ethan: Doesn't consistently get the pronunciation correct; sometimes pronounces long O's as short O's, for example.
• (2020-03-30) Paweł Szczepański: Doesn't work anymore
• (2020-01-23) Sam Lance: No longer works as of january 23 2020
• (2019-10-15) Julie Smith: The extension doesn't work because the certificate on https://www.ipaaudio.click expired on 1 Sep 2019
• (2019-10-05) Ivan Dilber: Used to work great, but stopped working recently because the certificate on ipaaudio.click is not properly signed and API call fails.
• (2019-09-16) Dave Merrill: 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.
• (2018-10-20) Mitch Halley: 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.
• (2018-06-07) Paul Rubenstein: Works as expected. Thanks!
• (2018-04-22) Lee Follis: 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).
• (2018-01-02) Luke Fixt: Works as expected. Would be great to let users change the voice, or auto-select based of location.
• (2017-08-31) Alasdair Macintyre: Seems to work well (not sure why Ross said it wasn't). Really should be built into wikipedia.
• (2017-08-28) Ross Teixeira: No longer works
• (2017-07-12) Ri Ck: The voice is too synthetic/robot and it is also fast and low... But I liked, is better than nothing.
