For French, for example, the sound transcribed in IPA as <b>a</b> may represent the verb forms <i>a</i> or <i>as</i> or the preposition <i>à</i> or even the interjection <i>ha!</i>. For English, the problems are considerably harder.<br /><br />It would be easier to use <b>text-to-speech</b> software. As French speaker, you would know which word the sound <b>a</b> was most likely to represent in the text that is being read. The problem is that few if any text-to-speech programs have been developed that can read IPA symbols.<br /><br />If the text to be read is in a language that you don't know, I think it's hopeless. You may find a program that can turn <i> xeʔuˈɓü</i> into speech sounds, but then you'll have to find a human being who recognises the language and the word/sentence.<br /><br />In any case, if you don't understand the symbols, you'll probably make mistakes when you type them in.<br /><br />On the whole, it will be quicker and easier to learn IPA.<br /><br />A simple tool which might help you is <a href="http://www.yorku.ca/earmstro/ipa/vowels.html" rel="nofollow">this web page</a>. If it works on your computer system, you can click on the symbols one by one and hear how each one sounds.David Crosbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01858358459416955921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-377103124456226005.post-66312083062281063432013-10-08T10:34:03.571+01:002013-10-08T10:34:03.571+01:00Hi.

I was a linguistics minor when studying for my undergrad but am now a Spanish graduate student and your page has helped a ton while transcribing medieval Spanish literature for my History of the Spanish Language class! Much better than hunting for the symbol.karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05594766272514388034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-377103124456226005.post-34545877333504553682009-07-04T14:12:28.851+01:002009-07-04T14:12:28.851+01:00My favourite tool is the IPA Writer at http://www....My favourite tool is the IPA Writer at http://www.ipawriter.comRasmus Rimestadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09884702649450093911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-377103124456226005.post-5028827543564003372009-03-23T18:40:00.000+00:002009-03-23T18:40:00.000+00:00I usehttp://weston.ruter.net/projects/ipa-chart/vi...I use<BR/><BR/>http://weston.ruter.net/projects/ipa-chart/view/keyboard/<BR/><BR/>I thought I'd found the link through you, but perhaps not.
