This phonetic translator will help you obtain very accurate phonetic transcription of your English text.
It uses the symbols of International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) — the most popular phonetic transcription system in the world.
In addition to IPA, this tool also supports several types of phonetic spelling.
This phonetic translator supports three most common English dialects: British, American and Australian . The number of English words for each dialect in our database is indicated in the following table:
The numbers in the table don't include modified word forms. For example, the words "translate", "translates", "translating" and "translated" are all counted as one word.
The pronunciation of each word in the database was manually checked by a member of our team.
If you need to copy the phonetic transcription into another program or print it, please read our FAQ .

Multiple pronunciations of English words
Some English words are spelled the same, but are pronounced differently and have different meanings. They are called homographs . Compare:
The phonetic translator will highlight homographs in green . If you hover your cursor over these words or tap them on your mobile device, you will see all possible pronunciations.
At the moment this phonetic translator cannot yet decide which pronunciation is correct for such words. You will need to choose the correct pronunciation yourself depending on the context.
Pronunciation variants (when native speakers from different regions pronounce a word differently, or when the pronunciation changes in rapid speech) are highlighted in blue . Just like with homographs, you can also hover your cursor over the word to see all possible variants or click/tap it to select the right pronunciation.
Translation to your native language
This pronunciation generator allows you to obtain an automatic translation of your text to your native language.
Automatic translation service is provided by a third-party company (Google). Each time you translate text into another language, we have to pay Google a small fee.
Translation service is only available with the subscription Premium .
Built-in English dictionary
This phonetic translator has a built-in English dictionary, WordNet . It contains more than 140,000 English words.
Here's what you need to do to activate the dictionary:
- For the setting Transcription display options select the option " transcription above each word ".
- In the section Choose what you will see when you click the word turn on the option " Word's meaning ".
- After submitting your text, click on any word in the results to see its definition.
Create your own custom word lists
You can create your own custom word lists using this phonetic translator. Here's how you can do it:
- In the section Choose what you will see when you click the word turn on the option " to word list ".
- After submitting your text, click on the word you want to add to the word list and then click the button " to word list ".
- You will be prompted to select the transcription and enter the meaning/translation of the word (the latter for most languages is optional).
- Once you finished adding words to your word list, click on My Account at the top of the page and then on My word lists . You will see the list of all your word lists.
There are so many things you can do with your word list:
- export it to a file (Word, Excel, plain text),
- print it from your browser,
- share it with other people (for example, your students),
- practice pronunciation of every word using the audio recordings of real people (if available) or high-quality text-to-speech voices.
Watch a tutorial "How to create custom word lists"
Broad and narrow transcription
For American English this phonetic translator can show both broad (phonemic) and narrow transcriptions. Please read here about phonemes and allophones to decide which type of transcription you need.
Case-sensitive converter
We wanted to create a very precise tool, so we decided to make this phonetic converter case-sensitive. For some words, it makes a difference. For example, the English words August and august mean different things and may be pronounced differently depending on the context.
If you want to obtain the best results, please submit the English text which is spelled correctly. Misspelling the words ( english , ENGLISH ) may give unpredictable results.
How to use the setting "Edit transcription"
Sometimes you may encounter one of the following situations:
- A very rare word was not converted at all.
- You want to suggest a better transcription for a word.
In either case here's what you can do:
- In the section Choose what you will see when you click the word turn on the option " Edit transcription ".
- After submitting your text, click on the word which transcription you want to correct and then click the button Edit transcription .
- If you are suggesting a different transcription for a word that can already be converted, there's one additional step. Go to My Account . Click on Customize my experience and turn on the option I want to suggest changes in the transcription for the words that can already be converted .
In any case, the new transcription will only be visible to yourself. We will add an option to see the transcriptions submitted by other users later.
How to use the setting "Hide transcription"
Some people prefer to hide the phonetic transcription of the most common words in order to make the text less cluttered. Here's how you can do it:
- In the section Choose what you will see when you click the word turn on the option " Hide transcription ".
- After submitting your text, click on the word which transcription you want to hide and then click the button Hide transcription .
Next time you submit the text, the transcription of this word will not be displayed.
If you want to undo this action, go to My Account . Click on Customize my experience and go to the section Undo the action Hide transcription .
Highlighting of high-frequency English words
In the section Advanced options you will find a special option that allows you to highlight high-frequency English words . The words from different frequency intervals will be highlighted in the following colors:
If you want to make the frequency analysis of your text and obtain the detailed statistics, please use English word frequency counter .
You can choose one of the two frequency lists:
- The frequency word list based on the Corpus of Contemporary American English
- The subtitle-based frequency word list
Learning English as second language: phonetic transcription can help you improve your English pronunciation
English pronunciation can be very confusing. As you know, there are no strict pronunciation rules in the English language , so when you see an unknown English word, you cannot be 100% sure how to pronounce it.
The same English letter , or combination of letters, can be pronounced differently in different words. Moreover, the same English word can be pronounced in different ways by native English speakers from different countries, or even from the same country! That makes the English language hard to learn and understand.
This tool will serve you as an English pronunciation guide and will help you save time. You will no longer need to look up the pronunciation of words in a dictionary.
If you use the phonetic transcription regularly in combination with English audio and video recordings, your pronunciation and listening skills in the English language will improve.

We know sometimes English may seem complicated. We don't want you to waste your time.

Pronunciation Guide (English/Academic Dictionaries)
This guide will help you to understand and use the pronunciation symbols found in the Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary and the Oxford Learner's Dictionary of Academic English .
The symbol (r) indicates that British pronunciation will have /r/ only if a vowel sound follows directly at the beginning of the next word, as in far away ; otherwise the /r/ is omitted. For American English, all the /r/ sounds should be pronounced.
/x/ represents a fricative sound as in /lɒx/ for Scottish loch , Irish lough .
Vowels and diphthongs
Nasalized vowels, marked with / ˜ /, may be retained in certain words taken from French, as in penchant / ˈpɒ̃ʃɒ̃ / .
While represented by the same symbols in the dictionary, some vowels and diphthongs differ in quality between British and American English.
Pronunciation in the dictionary
The pronunciations given are those of younger speakers of ‘mainstream’ or ‘unmarked’ Received Pronunciation (British English) and ‘General’ or ‘Network’ American (American English). These models represent accents that are widely taught and easily recognized as British or American. They enable clear communication, are not old-fashioned or strongly regional, and are acceptable in formal and informal situations.
Pronunciations given between slashes /ˌlaɪk ˈðɪs/ are transcribed broadly, using a phonemic system. This means that symbols from the International Phonetic Alphabet are used to represent the sounds and features that distinguish one word from another in English. If the symbols are treated simply as sounds the speaker will be clearly understood — words such as cap /kæp/ and cup /kʌp/ will not be confused. The more advanced learner will understand that these symbols (phonemes) represent groups of related English sounds (allophones), and that the choice of symbols is guided by a long tradition of teaching and representing English pronunciation in this way.
The broad approach to transcription is accompanied by a selective approach to variant pronunciations. For example, the transcriptions make clear that the vowel /ɒ/ occurs only in British English, with American pronunciations usually having /ɔː/ or /ɑː/ instead. For these words there is some variation between /ɔː/ and /ɑː/ among speakers of American English, but only one such pronunciation is given.
Some variant pronunciations are represented by the special use of /i/ and /u/ (without a length mark /ː/ ). /i/ represents a weak vowel that can be sounded either as /iː/ or /ɪ/ or a compromise between them. The sequence /iə/ can be pronounced /jə/ , so union can be /ˈjuːniən/ or /ˈjuːnjən/ . In the same way /u/ represents a weak vowel between /uː/ and /ʊ/ . If followed by a consonant sound it can be pronounced as /ə/ , and the sequence /uə/ can be pronounced /wə/ , as in actual /ˈæktʃuəl, ˈæktʃwəl/ .
Further information about a pronunciation may be given in square brackets [ˈlaɪk ˈðɪs] , referring more specifically to sounds on the IPA chart . This narrow transcription is useful for representing pronunciations or sounds that are not British or American, for example the East African pronunciation [ˈboma] given at boma .
Allophones can be demonstrated by looking at the /t/ phoneme. In addition to [t] , the /t/ phoneme also contains tap [ɾ] and glottal stop [ʔ] sounds, which are used in certain contexts. The [ɾ] tap sound is very much like the /d/ in rider . It is widely used by American speakers when the /t/ is between two vowels and the second vowel is not stressed, as in writer . Both British and American speakers sometimes use the glottal stop [ʔ] (a momentary tight closure of the vocal cords) for the /t/ in words like football /ˈfʊtbɔːl/ and button /ˈbʌtn/ . Use of the glottal stop for /t/ in these positions is more common and more widely accepted than its use between vowels, as in water .
Such considerations are not limited to the /t/ phoneme. For example, the /l/ phoneme encompasses a clear [l] sound for words such as like /laɪk/ (where the /l/ is before or between vowels) and a dark [ɫ] sound for other positions, as in full /fʊl/ or milk /mɪlk/ . The sound files that accompany our phonemic transcriptions are intended to supplement the phonemic transcriptions and demonstrate such detail.
Syllabic consonants
The sounds /l/ and /n/ can often be syllabic — that is, they can form a syllable by themselves. They can be thought of as representing a sequence of [ ə l] or [ ə n] . There is a syllabic /l/ at the end of final /ˈfaɪnl/ , but for clarity the schwa /ə/ is shown in the transcription of finally /ˈfaɪnəli/ so that it is not confused with finely /ˈfaɪnli/ .
Weak and strong forms
Some pronunciations are labelled as strong or weak forms. The first pronunciation given usually represents the one most commonly used, but where a strong form is indicated it should be used when the word is stressed. A strong form is also usually used when the word is at the end of a sentence. For example:
- Can /kən/ you help?
- I’ll help if I can /kæn/ .
Stress is very important in English — it can be used to distinguish the meaning of similar-sounding words, compounds, phrasal verbs and idioms. The stress patterns indicated in our dictionaries will enable the learner to sound natural and clearly communicate their intended meaning.
The mark /ˈ/ shows the main stress — compare able /ˈeɪbl/ , stressed on the first syllable, and ability /əˈbɪləti/ , stressed on the second. A stressed syllable is relatively loud, long in duration, said clearly and distinctly, and made noticeable by the pitch of the voice. A stressed syllable does not usually contain the weak vowels /ə/ , /i/ or /u/ .
Longer transcriptions may have one or more secondary stresses before the main stress. These are marked with /ˌ/ as in abbreviation /əˌbriːviˈeɪʃn/ and agricultural /ˌæɡrɪˈkʌltʃərəl/ . They feel like beats in a rhythm leading up to the main stress. Weak stresses after the main stress can sometimes be heard, but they are not marked in our dictionaries.
A word or compound that has two stresses in its dictionary form may show a shift of stress when used in a phrase. For example, the adjective ˌwell-ˈknown has the main stress on known , but in the phrase ˌwell-known ˈauthor the main stress is shifted to the noun that follows.
