User Reviews

Users praise easy typing-to-IPA and time-saving benefits, especially for SLPs and language nerds, but repeatedly report that audio transcription does not work or is unreliable, with English-only results and limited dictionary. Additional issues include a confusing interface, frequent paywalls, and missing features like copy/history. Overall, the app offers a helpful typing workflow but struggles with core audio features, language scope, usability, and monetization.

Pros

Easy to use with immediate IPA translations from typed input
Time-saving and handy for SLPs, linguists, and language enthusiasts
Useful for choir work and language experimentation

Cons

Audio transcription/speech-to-IPA features often do not work or are unreliable
Limited language support (English-only) and small/limited dictionary
Poor UI/UX and non-intuitive design, with frequent pro-promotion
Paywall and aggressive monetization; charges to continue use
Inaccurate or incomplete transcription of phonemes; pronunciation-based IPA not reflected

Recent reviews

Claims to support audio files and does not. When spoken directly into it does not take into consideration disordered speech. Transcribes as normal speech. Wasted my money here :(
