Enter an IPA string copied from a source you may use, with its dialect, usage, source URL, version and license. The app checks syntax and attribution fields, not linguistic truth.

Frequently asked questions
Does this generate pronunciations for any word?
No. Only record is included. Other words appear only after you add a sourced entry or import an authorized lexicon. The tool never guesses an IPA transcription or calls a paid dictionary.
How are syllables and stress displayed?
The view highlights primary and secondary stress and splits segments only at stress signs or dots that already occur in the supplied IPA. Unmarked syllable boundaries are not inferred; a segment may not be a linguistically complete syllable.
Can I trust an imported transcription?
The importer checks the file structure, character bounds and attribution fields, but cannot verify the linguistic accuracy or license claim of user data. Follow the linked source and confirm usage rights yourself.
Where did the built-in examples come from?
The five record IPA strings are attributed to Wiktionary contributors, record English pronunciation, revision 92747840 dated 2026-09-21, under CC BY-SA 4.0. The source link, version and license appear on every example candidate. No audio or images were copied.
Is my lexicon stored or uploaded?
It stays in this tab until you leave. Export JSON before closing if you need it later. File import and editing happen locally; CSV is a report, not a restorable lexicon.
Privacy
The lookup, edits and imports run in this browser tab. No entry is uploaded by this tool. Source links open a separate site only when you select them. Verify a source's terms before importing or sharing its data.
