How to pronounce a word online

Type the word, choose American or British English, play the normal audio, then use slow playback. After you hear the word, read the simple spelling and stress line. This sequence is better than reading symbols first because pronunciation is a listening and speaking task.

Audio word pronunciation with spelling support

Audio shows the sound, but spelling support helps you remember it. PronounceText gives simple phonetic spelling, IPA transcription, syllables, and stress so you can copy a practice guide after listening.

American vs British word pronouncer

Some words sound different across accents. Schedule, water, route, either, and data are common examples. If your audience is in the US, start with American audio. If your class or workplace uses UK English, start with British audio. Comparing both variants can also make dictionary entries easier to understand.

When to use slow playback

Use slow playback for consonant clusters, final consonants, weak vowels, th sounds, and long words. Slow audio makes the sound easier to imitate, but return to normal speed after a few repetitions so your pronunciation does not become too slow or unnatural.

Practice beyond one word

After the isolated word feels clear, place it in a sentence. Word stress can change how natural a sentence sounds, and linking can hide sounds that are clear in isolation. The main pronunciation generator can handle short sentences and paragraph snippets.
