User reviews

Scam

This doesn’t support any useful language other than English and makes you pay 5.99 a month for everything else

Not worth it

Claims to support audio files and does not. When spoken directly into it does not take into consideration disordered speech. Transcribes as normal speech. Wasted my money here :(

IPA Scribe

I appreciate the ease of use. I can type in words and receive immediate IPA translation. It is so helpful for my choirs

Works well

I don’t really have much to say. I use this app almost daily as an armature linguistic nerd/conlanger, and it’s really handy to have on my phone. Only using 15 characters per day is kinda annoying, but it’s super easy to get around (this app has a f*k ton of bugs lol) so it’s not that bad. Overall, nice to have
