Palatalization and aspiration are added to consonants where they shouldn t be and you can only hear sounds with earphones It s all right for beginners but I feel like it s a bit misleading     not nerd approved Notorious N.I.G.

This app is clearly designed and has excellent voice quality Very easy to use A must have for students and actors                     Extremely helpful won't sync

Unfortunately the sounds on this app are not true to the correct pronunciation The speaker has an Americanized way of pronouncing the letters For instance the t alveoral plosive is pronounced in an American type way which is not the correct way to pronounce it He pronounces it as the th aveoral plosive should be pronounced I recommend skipping this one and getting the IPA Phonetics instead which also has videos showing the pronunciation and tongue placement and is much more correct than this app         Not the best Lidia Monroe

Very excellent service for actors looking to learn dialects Classic                     Glorious service champagnecharles

The best 3 99 I ve spent in a long time Paul Meier s Interactive IPA app is exactly what it says it is Every chart created by the International Phonetic Association is comprehensively covered with an audio file for every phoneme diacritic and suprasegmental plus there s an added diph triphthong chart for both American and UK pronunciations just click on the flag for the chart to turn from one to the other For actors in dialect accent training as well as students in linguistics or SLP studies this is an incredible tool to have ready at all times at their fingertips My dialect and speech students love it and rely upon it for their transcription work Well done                     Amazingly comprehensive IPA tool KCS@TCU

This is a well constructed app the mechanics of the app work quite well just as I would hope and the layout is useful and thought out Paul is deservedly very well respected in the world of dialects for actors so he is a very logical person to put together an app like this He even goes into diphthongs and triphthongs which are not included in the IPA s materials You might find that you use some slight variations on the symbols he uses for these but even if you do it s still clear and very helpful I m telling my acting students about it It s great for them to have this resource in their pockets I ll be using it too                     Very Useful AccentJim

The app works fine on iPhone but slow and buggy on iPad The sound doesn t work on iPad         No sound on iPad slow Dima_Dan

Once again Paul Meier has offered Voice professionals and students an accessible clear tool to assist in the study of dialects With this interactive app my students are finding learning the IPA not only less onerous but actually fun The charts are highly detailed and the sound quality of the voiceovers impeccable This app is a boon to my teaching and coaching                     Thank you thank you for this terrific app C. de Veer

As a speech language pathology student I am taking phonetics and thought this app would help me with that course My biggest disappointment with this app is that I have to have the headphones in to hear any sound when I take the headphones out I turn the sound all the way up and cannot hear a thing Even with the headphones in and the sound turned all the way up it is still not very loud To me this app would be more useful if it included examples of words for each phoneme             Not quite what I was hoping for Missmarissa1010

Paul Meier s latest innovation is an Interactive IPA app for IPhones and Ipads an incredible resource for instructors and students actors at varying levels of experience The visual layout is straightforward the sounds demonstrated are both clear and nuanced its user friendly and its inexpensive It s extremely convenient and effective as a teaching aid because of its portability and overall design Thanks D Hague                     So Convenient D. Hague

I highly recommend this app Its perfect for studying or coaching on the go Clear easy to use great sound and superb graphics                     A useful study app Micha E.

Paul Meier has designed and developed an app appears to be a true game changer in the field of learning and understanding the nuances and subtleties of dialect Even though I do not earn my keep as a voice actor or artist the small amount of work I have done in this field give me the ability to truly appreciate what a remarkable tool the Interactive IPA is The variances in how we orally express our thoughts and communications is fascinating when we study and contemplate them beyond simply noticing a different accent or dialect Dr Meier has provided the user with the ability to listen to these variances in a way that informs and deepens the understanding of how we talk I have enjoyed using this app as a means of exploration as well as a valuable tool to prepare for a role or voicing task                     This App is a game changer Kent Comfort

This is such a wonderful resource I am a voice and speech teacher this app is very accurate and useful I look forward to telling my students about it                     awesome KLDanford

I am a voice speech and accent trainer that is quite rigorous with my college students when it comes to their understanding of phonetics As the long serving Director of Technology for VASTA the Voice Speech Trainers Association I have always been happy to incorporate technology into my teaching Of all the phonetics apps I have examined this is the most inclusive of the many sounds and notations that make up the entirety of the International Phonetics Alphabet chart It is extremely helpful for students of phonetics to learn the relation between the symbols and the sounds they represent Though other reviewers have complained about sound issues I have never had any type of issue Thanks for an extremely helpful teaching tool                     Very helpful App Michael in Michigan

As a teacher of voice for over 20 years I found the app to be extremely useful and accurate Quite easy to use and handy for a quick pronunciation check                     Accurate and Useful Biddy pup

This app by noted dialect accent Original Pronunciation and Shakespeare guru Paul Meier fills a huge void it s the best and frankly the only quality resource for this material on the iTunes store and I ve used most of the other apps of this kind It s an essential tool for those requiring a portable reference of this material The detailed presentation of all areas of the standard IPA chart is top notch An added bonus is the ability to compare British and American English in the diphthong section and the extensive presentation of diacritics a critical feature in IPA transcription There are many other resources by Paul on iTunes for actors directors coaches etc interested in dialects and accents of English Do yourself a favor and check them out                     Great tool for actors accent coaches directors etc P-HUBB

I was reluctant to buy this since I read a couple of comments that said the sound was unplayable But I gave it a try It worked perfectly for me Maybe the other buyers tried playing it on their computer I tried that first until I remembered this type of app works only for iPhone and iPad I would highly recommend this app for people wanting to study phonetics or voice in general                     Great App burtongal7
