Transcription of English Text into IPA
EDIT: Better version here
This program utilizes the Carnegie-Mellon University Phonetic Dictionary Database to convert English words into IPA. This program was created using PyDev (a Python plugin for the Eclipse IDE).
a sample:
English Text to IPA Converter
[English]: Hello World!
multiple entries found:
[IPA]: [hɛloʊ wərld]
[IPA]: [həloʊ wərld]
Why is this useful?
IPA generators for the English language are decently abundant online; it is only in the manner of good practice that I have invented my own. I use the program for quick IPA conversions, as well as building other programs (such as a program that calculates the frequency of different manners of articulation in a given text).
