Что такое транскрипция?
Фонетическая транскрипция – это графическая запись звучания слова; преследует цели точной графической записи произношения. Каждый отдельный звук должен быть отдельно зафиксирован в записи.

Для чего нужна транскрипция английских слов?
Знать английскую транскрипцию полезно. Это дает возможность легко прочитать и правильно произнести незнакомое английское слово самостоятельно, без посторонней помощи. Достаточно заглянуть в словарь или воспользоваться онлайн сервисами. Всем известно, что чтение английских слов – процесс достаточно специфический, основанный не на «складывании» слов из букв, а скорее на преобразовании буквосочетаний в сочетания звуков. Разумеется, существуют определенные правила чтения, которые нужно знать и применять. Но слов, которые не подчиняются этим правилам, гораздо больше. Здесь и приходит на помощь транскрипция, позволяющая узнать правильное произношение английского слова, а, соответственно, и его чтение.

What Is Phonetic Transcription?
Phonetic transcription is the visual representation of speech sounds. It is usually written in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), in which each English sound has its own symbol. Phonetic transcription is usually given in brackets /ˈɪŋ.ɡlɪʃ / or in square brackets [ˈɪŋ.ɡlɪʃ ]. Each sound in transcription is written separately.
Why Is Phonetic Transcription Important?
Phonetic transcription is very important because it helps to pronounce words correctly. It’s necessary, especially for the English language. As you know, the same English letter or combinations of letters can be pronounced and read differently in different words. Of course, there are reading rules in English but there are a lot of exceptions too. The spelling of an English word does not always tell you how to pronounce or read this word. But if you can read phonetic transcription, you’ll be able to pronounce any English word correctly without listening to its audio pronunciation. This Myefe.com’s tool will help to find out transcription online and read English words without mistakes.
Why Should You Care about Correct Pronunciation?
Pronunciation is important for English learners. It helps to communicate in English. If your pronunciation is incorrect, you can be misunderstood by other people or it will be difficult for them to understand what you want to say. On Myefe.com you can practise your English pronunciation online by listening how to pronounce English words correctly.

Phoneme Set
The current phoneme set has 39 phonemes, not counting varia due to lexical stress.
This phoneme (or more accurately, phone) set is based on the ARPAbet symbol set developed
for speech recognition uses.
You can find a description of the ARPAbet on Wikipedia,
as well information on how it relates to the standard IPA symbol set. If you check off the stress box you will get a pronunciation in which vowels are annotated (see above). Stress is difficult to get right and people disagree about it. There are words in the language that differentiate by stress (e.g. PR’OGRESS PROGR’ESS).
