Extension summary

Practice your Shavian reading comprehension on your favorite sites, or even your inbox. One click translates all text on the page. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shavian_alphabet for the basics.

This tool combines the pronunciation data from American-accented CMUdict and English-accented Britfone. Each of these dialects merges some sounds, so this tool gets finer details from the other. It can make notable distinctions such as: Mary-marry-merry (๐‘ฅ๐‘บ๐‘ฆ-๐‘ฅ๐‘จ๐‘ฎ๐‘ฆ-๐‘ฅ๐‘ง๐‘ฎ๐‘ฆ), cot-caught-court (๐‘’๐‘ช๐‘‘-๐‘’๐‘ท๐‘‘-๐‘’๐‘น๐‘‘), and bother-father-farther (๐‘š๐‘ช๐‘ž๐‘ผ-๐‘“๐‘ญ๐‘ž๐‘ผ-๐‘“๐‘ธ๐‘ž๐‘ผ). See https://shavian.info/spelling for more details.

User reviews

great but the "always run on all sites" doesn't work

It will be great if it also supports Esperanto

Some common words are left untransliterated, but the extension does a good job.
