Reviews of wikipedia ipa speaker:
Russell: If you want it to work properly, you would have to allow the user to manually select a voice with the proper nationality. Otherwise, if you have just an American voice, it can only produce American English sounds. The website ipa-reader.xyz tries to do this, but they don't have enough nationalities.
Works fine but says k instead of ç (cue instead of hue).
not working as of 21/12/2022
It's good in concept, however I wouldn't use this with languages apart from English, in fact I suspect it is't even designed to work with other languages that aren't English. There are many pronunciation errors, such as follows: - diacritics are ignored: e.g. no nasals, vowel lowering, aspiration, palatalisation, or any other suprasegmental - multiple sounds are blatantly incorrect -> /k, g, x, ɣ/ were all pronounce /k/ Overall, it's a decent tool but only for English and I think that should be advertised as such.
Does exactly what it says -- this is amazing for people like me who can never remember their IPA characters.
Doesn't work. Click on the play button and nothing happens.
Broken, 27 Oct 2021. Love the concept but it does not work at all for me.
Currently broken, looks like the cert expired again. use let's encrypt, we're not cavemen anymore ;)
unfortunately i could not get it to work. clicking the play button does nothing
Extremely useful for Wikipedia users that regularly use it as a language resource.
Works as expected!
Doesn't consistently get the pronunciation correct; sometimes pronounces long O's as short O's, for example.
No longer works as of january 23 2020
The extension doesn't work because the certificate on https://www.ipaaudio.click expired on 1 Sep 2019
Used to work great, but stopped working recently because the certificate on ipaaudio.click is not properly signed and API call fails.
As of 9/15/2019 and Chrome 77.0.3865.75, it makes no sound, and throws this error: 'https://www.ipaaudio.click/audio' from origin 'chrome-extension://jkgihpigffcfeebgedpklldebdibbnne' has been blocked by CORS policy: Response to preflight request doesn't pass access control check: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. If an opaque response serves your needs, set the request's mode to 'no-cors' to fetch the resource with CORS disabled.
well, it certainly works for English, but it doesn't work exactly as advertised. I tested this with the article about Eithne Ní Uallacháin (the example shown in the overview), and it ended up being pronounced more like /eɪneɪni ulɑhɑn/ rather than [ɛːhʲnʲɛ nʲiː ʊəlaxɑːnʲ]. I suppose it could work for figuring out how to Anglicize a given foreign name, but it absolutely does not read the IPA as written.
Works as expected. Thanks!
Does exactly what it says it does, just click on the little play button and the word is read. Note: Doesn't seem to work if you use Wikiwand, so might not work with some wikipedia extensions (especially older ones).
Works as expected. Would be great to let users change the voice, or auto-select based of location.
Seems to work well (not sure why Ross said it wasn't). Really should be built into wikipedia.
No longer works
