## What is Schwa?

Schwa turns learning the International Phonetic Alphabet into a game.

Pick a category — Animals, Food, Weather, Clothing, and more — and spell out the IPA transcription of each word using an on-screen phonetic keyboard. Get it right and celebrate; get it wrong and see the correct answer before moving on.

FEATURES
• 8 English categories, each with its own word set
• Multilingual mode: practice Italian, German, French, and Spanish vocabulary alongside their IPA transcriptions and translations
• Tap any word to hear it spoken aloud — great for checking your pronunciation against the real thing
• A swipeable phonetic keyboard covering vowels, consonants, and stress marks
• Track your best run in every category and see which one you've mastered
• Three lives per round keep it light and low-pressure

Whether you're a speech-language pathology student, a singer working on diction, a linguistics enthusiast, or just someone who wants to finally understand those funny symbols in the dictionary, Schwa makes it stick — one word at a time.

It's never stressed.
