Welcome to Phoneticus® – your go-to English phonemic chart for iOS devices. I’m here to guide you through the nuances of English pronunciation, where the spelling often differs from the sound.
With me by your side, you’ll master phonetics and explore the rich tapestry of sounds that make up English words. My intuitive design makes it easy to identify consonants by their articulation points and familiarize yourself with the pronunciation of British and American English vowels.
My mission is to elevate your language skills while saving you time and effort. Let’s enhance your proficiency in reading, writing, and accurately pronouncing every phonetic transcription of English words!
Phoneticus® offers both American English and British English phonemic charts, complemented by hundreds of offline audio recordings from native speakers of both accents.
