Questions

How do I pronounce a word I can't say?

Type it in the box above and press Say it. You'll hear it in a natural voice, see how it sounds spelled out (like kee-NOH-uh), the IPA and the number of syllables. Press Slow to hear it at a slower speed.

Can I hear different accents?

Yes. Pick US, UK or Australian before you press Say it. Many words, like 'tomato' or 'schedule', sound different in each.

Does it work for names?

Yes. Type any name. If it comes out wrong, use the Names page: add how it sounds (for example 'Shiv-awn' for Siobhan) and get a link you can share so others say your name right.

Is it free?

Yes, completely free with no sign-up. Words other people have already looked up play instantly.
