### 1/5 — Truly Useless

*2025-07-21*

IPA dictionaries/translators have four functions:

1. Transcribe the words into IPA. 
2. Separate the words into syllables. 
3. Indicate the stressed syllable.
4. Distinguish the short from long vowels in the case of German. 

This app only addresses bullet #1 and ignores the others. I give it one star because it’s better than nothing, but it’s still useless to me. I’ll be getting a better app that does the job.

### 4/5 — Suggestion

*2014-01-24*

It would be nice to have syllabic word stresses notated.

### 5/5 — I love it but needs improvments

*2018-08-10*

Please make it work with drag and drop on ios 11. It is very important! Thank you!
Please update this wonderful app. I will suggest it to all of my singer and conductor friends!

Absolutely Wonderful App. plus No internet connection needed!! I love this app!!!

### 5/5 — Quite good

*2012-07-24*

This gets almost all the exceptions, missing only some compound words, loan words, and homonyms.

### 5/5 — Perfect!

*2012-03-06*

I'm a singer and I have been waiting for an app like this! It's simple, easy to use and I haven't found a mistake yet. Must have for any vocalist. The other ipanows are just as awesome.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2012-03-04*

This app works wonderfully! Will recommend to all of my voice students. I love how easy it is!

### 5/5 — Five stars!

*2012-03-03*

This app is invaluable! As a classical soloist I am constantly working on new pieces and often need a hand with my transcriptions. It is so convenient to be able to do so while on the go... It's like having a section of your university's music library in your pocket!

### 5/5 — Great app!!!

*2012-03-03*

Super easy to use with accurate results!!!  Love this app!!

### 5/5 — Great app!! Give it a try!

*2012-02-27*

This app is a handy tool for vocalists, conductors, linguists, and many other professionals. You can paste a German text in and instantly see a phonetic transcription. Print, save, and share it easily. Highly recommended!

### 5/5 — Awesome !

*2012-02-16*

Love it!  You CAN enter special characters on the iPhone or iPad by pressing and holding a letter on the keypad when you enter text.

### 5/5 — Tremendous application

*2012-02-16*

These IPA Diction apps are tremendous aids for singers and choir directors - anyone that uses the International Phonetic Alphabet.  I can usually find the text online, paste it into the program - then get an outstanding IPA transcription to guide my pronunciation.

A huge five stars.
