Features & Capabilities

IPANow! by PhoneticSoft is a unique app that automatically transcribes German texts into International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) symbols by applying rules utilized by scholarly lyric diction textbooks.

Simply type or paste in a text, tap a button, and IPANow! produces a phonetic transcription underneath each line of text.

Key features:

*Easy-to-use! Simply type or paste a text in and tap a button. *Copy/paste transcription output to an email or other apps. *Print transcriptions directly from your device (with AirPrint). *Save transcriptions for later. *Customize the transcription output based on your preferences.

Designed by a choral conductor and vocalist, IPANow! is a lyric diction resource for choral conductors, professional vocalists, church musicians and music educators, but anyone can use it. IPANow! allows choral directors to easily produce professional-looking phonetic transcriptions of foreign language texts to distribute to choir members. We believe you will find IPANow! an invaluable resource.

User Reviews

IPA dictionaries/translators have four functions: 1. Transcribe the words into IPA. 2. Separate the words into syllables. 3. Indicate the stressed syllable. 4. Distinguish the short from long vowels in the case of German. This app only addresses bullet #1 and ignores the others. I give it one star because it’s better than nothing, but it’s still useless to me. I’ll be getting a better app that does the job.

Please make it work with drag and drop on ios 11. It is very important! Thank you! Please update this wonderful app. I will suggest it to all of my singer and conductor friends!

It would be nice to have syllabic word stresses notated.
