Type English IPA symbols

This tool provides a simplified set of International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) symbols specifically for transcribing English pronunciation. It includes all the vowels and consonants needed for standard English phonetic transcription.

English IPA is commonly used in dictionaries, language learning materials, and linguistic research to represent the pronunciation of English words. It helps learners understand how words should be pronounced, regardless of their spelling.

For example, the word "enough" would be transcribed as /ɪˈnʌf/ in IPA, showing its actual pronunciation rather than relying on the sometimes confusing English spelling system.
