Phonetify is praised as an excellent phonetic transcription extension with multi-script support and useful customizable options. Users value it for pronunciation practice and language learning. However, common concerns include the absence of separate British English transcription, occasional Shavian transcription errors without an easy correction mechanism, and a wish for broader language support. Users also request features to disable the extension on specific pages or languages and desire more detailed phonetic symbols for accuracy.

This is so far the best extension of its kind!🔥 But please add a transcription from British English. Also please add the accent marks (') and the colon symbol (:) for longer vowels

This is pretty cool! It'd be nice if you could add French to the list of languages however.

Simple and worth it, If you want to see the IPA translation when you select the word you must configure it in the options of the extension.
