Problem: Many terms have wiki articles, but no pronunciation. Non-native speakers may have no idea how to pronounce the terms.
Who would benefit: Language learners.
Proposed solution: (auto-generating soundfiles from IPA spelling?)

@JulesMarner: Thanks for your proposal, but it's currently lacking some information. Could you please fill in the above bullet points ('Problem', 'Who would benefit', etc.)? Thanks! (If you want to write in a language other than English, that's fine too.) —SamWilson07:27, 23 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
It seems like the space for pronunciations and IPA is Wiktionary and Wikidata lexemes and not Wikipedia. There are already some audio files. I believe it's better to have the community produce more pronunciation recordings then centrally create automated IPA recordings (which would naturally be of lower quality given that the IPA doesn't cover everything).

Auto-generating soundfiles is a bad idea for plenty languages and mostly for names of places that could have weird old and regional habits. For French, dead letters are everywhere. Human-made audio recording could be hosted in Wikimedia Commons and there is a wonderful tool name Lingua Libre built by Wikimedia France chapter to help record lists of words. Including lists of surrounding places, very useful to record the pronunciation of places with odd names. Sounds are automatically added to Commons and a bot add them to some Wiktionary pages already. Those can be added to Wikipedia Noé (talk) 11:59, 29 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
