I am looking for a completely free French IPA translator as I'm currently attempting to learn the language and need help understanding the pronunciation. Looking for a text translator, audio optional. What have you found so far, and, if any, why don't these sites match your needs? translate.google.com provides sound files for words and even ...
The open source eSpeak program can do this: espeak -v lang --ipa "text goes here". where lang is: fr for French. it for Italian. de for German. It is not 100% accurate in pronunciation in all cases, but will speak out the pronunciations. You can also use Kirshenbaum-like ASCII IPA: espeak -v lang --ipa "[[orthographic text you want transcribed ...
However, it still requires some learning to be able to read quickly. You'd also need either a dictionary containing both transcriptions to search for words in (extant words only), or an IPA-to-ARPAbet converter; the latter is actually nontrivial because the phones in an IPA string aren't necessarily delimited, there's not an exact ...
Sorted by: There is a library called Unidecode that translates any unicode (that includes IPA) to ascii. It is available in python and .net as far as I know. From what I see, you are using php in that site. I have not tried it, but there is a PHP-version of it here: answered Apr 19, 2017 at 13:11.
IPA is a conventional system (conventions can be voted in or out) for grouping a range of acoustic events to letters, with a coarse enough granularity that letter-to-sound mappings are not one-to-one – but they also aren't any-to-any (i.e. arbitrary).
2. The concept of two words in different languages being "homophones" is tricky, and I think you'd need a more subtle tool than standard IPA transcriptions depending on the amount of rigor you want. IPA is generally used in practice for either phonemic transcriptions (which generally should not be compared across languages) or for broad ...
Spoken French has two ingressive forms of "yes". One is "ouais" [wɛ↓], equivalent to "yep" in English. The other is a "pure" ingressive sound, described sometimes as a "fast gasp", and is equivalent to "Yeah, uh-huh" in English. Would [h↓] be the most correct way to represent this in IPA? Edit: Corrected symbol order as per comment.
Is there a way to switch to standard IPA? Edit: Thanks, wikipedia article about ISO_11940-2 says: "(ISO 11940-1) bears no resemblance to Thai pronunciation" , while ISO 11940-2 seems to be focused more on pronunciation ("All information on vowel length and syllable tone is dropped" and "Transcription is according to pronunciation, not Thai ...

Epitran: A tool for transcribing orthographic text as IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet). 511 Stars. So, to find a library, search GitHub. As to the underlying question of what a good NLP technique to achieve IPA transcription is (as in, if you wanted to try to write the program yourself), I leave to a different post (if you were to ask it).
