This is the first time I'm hearing about IPA. I wanted to test out how IPA works so I searched for chinese to IPA converter and came across this site: http://easypronunciation.com/en/chinese-pinyin-phonetic-tran... I put in a few chinese sentences, got the IPA, then pasted into your app and listened to the sentence in IPA. Although it wasn't very accurate, its one of the coolest things I learned this year. Thank you very much for sharing. I think a really cool next step is to add the ability to type things in and get the IPA and pronunciation. |

http://espeak.sourceforge.net/ can already do this, however Chinese support is currently flaky at best when using characters, because different pronunciations are not disambiguated based on context. Giving it Pinyin to work with is enough to fool me non-native speaker, though.
