About

toAllophones

Features
Read full description

toAllophones is a user-centrically designed app that allows users to transcribe English IPA Broad Transcriptions into Allophonic Transcriptions. Features: •⁠ ⁠Copy to Clipboard: Allows users to easily copy the result and paste it elsewhere, say your assignment. All in one click. •⁠ ⁠⁠Special Character Input: Saves your time finding them on the Internet. We know too well how frustrating it is to find them and copy and paste. Download our app and say goodbye to those moments. •⁠ ⁠⁠History: Find all the results you searched before. Surely, we don’t want to enter the IPA again if you’ve just searched it 2 minutes ago. You may delete past transcribed records at any time. •⁠ ⁠⁠Rules Applied: Easy reference to the allophonic rules used in your transcription. Sometimes you might have tried transcribing the IPA yourself, but it just doesn’t match with the answer and you wonder what rule you have forgot. Our app will help you review the allophonic rules for your own revision.

This tool is intended for linguists and language teachers to facilitate learning phonetics. Phonetics varies unfortunately from language to language. The app caters for English, French, German, Spanish and Norwegian. Speech to Text. Text to Speech. Text to Phonetics (IPA). It facilitates looping between a) the user voice and b) an "ideal" voice. It is then more easy to adapt ones own voice.
