Community Wishlist Survey 2022/Reading/IPA audio renderer/Proposal

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki
  • Problem: Not everyone can read IPA markup (e.g. /ˈbɜːrmɪŋəm/ for "Birmingham")
  • Proposed solution: A tool or gadget that takes IPA as input and outputs an audio file or stream.
  • Who would benefit: Anyone wanting to know how a word is pronounced, but who cannot read IPA
  • More comments: The Phabricator ticket includes various examples of third party tools that do this, as proofs of concept.
  • Phabricator tickets: phab:T298950; phab:T33221
