About this site

What is this site for?

For quickly fetching IPA transcriptions of English words from Wiktionary and Merriam-Webster using their APIs.

If you don't know what the IPA is, it's the International Phonetic Alphabet: a handy way to represent different sounds in different languages.

Note that this is a site for fetching transcriptions. If you want more detailed information on a word, I recommend that you click on the links in the bottom right of the info box to view the pages where the data is sourced from.

Are you planning to add [suggested feature]?

Feel free to drop suggestions you'd have (or submit a PR to add these things yourself!) on the site's Github repo.
