Quick answer

How do I convert English text to IPA?

An IPA converter turns English spelling into the International Phonetic Alphabet — the symbols that show exactly how a word sounds. Each word is looked up in a pronunciation dictionary and rendered with stress marks, so /ˈlæŋɡwɪdʒ/ replaces 'language'. Shadola's free converter transcribes any text instantly, then lets you shadow it for AI feedback.
