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.

Table of Contents
The English language has a very unusual spelling, which reflects the pronunciation of English of the 12th-14th centuries. This is explained by the fact that with the introduction of printing, the spelling of the English language was fixed early, while the sound structure of the language has since undergone a number of significant changes. All this is complicated by the influence of other languages on English, which has given rise to a large number of exceptions in spelling, therefore it is customary in English language dictionaries to display a phonetic transcription that reflects the real sound of the word.
Phonetic transcription is a graphic recording of the sound of a word, designed to accurately reflect the pronunciation, each individual sound is indicated by a certain sign that excludes double reading.
Basically, in English dictionaries, transcription is recorded using the «International Phonetic Alphabet» («IPA«) based on the Latin alphabet. In order to separate a phonetic transcription from another text, it is enclosed in square brackets […] or slashes /…/.
Occasionally, transcription marks other than the IPA may be used to make fonts easier to work with or more familiar. Also, different versions of the English language have some difference in the sound of the same words. All this leads to the fact that in different dictionaries the transcription may differ slightly.
Punctuation, used in transcription
-
[‘] – the apostrophe, indicates that the next syllable is stressed
-
[:] – the colon, indicates that the sound is long
-
[()] – enclosing a sound in quotation marks allows it to be omitted, for example [plu(ə)rəl] is pronounced like [pluərəl] or [plurəl]
Vowel Sounds
Vowel are sounds formed by the free passage of air in the vocal tract, consisting only of a vocal tone.
Vowel pronunciation:
-
[ɪ] / [i] — pretty [‘prɪtɪ];

-
[e] – pen [pen];
-
[æ] – back [bæk];
-
[ə] – unclear unstressed sound (neutral vowel);
-
[ə:] / [ɜ:] – bird [bə:rd].
Diphthongs
Diphthong – is a combination of two vowels pronounced as one syllable, with a transition from the main vowel sound to another.
-
[eɪ] – say [seɪ]
-
[ɔɪ] / [əɪ] – boy [bɔɪ]
-
[ɔu] / [əu] – go [gɔu]
-
[aɪ] / [ʌɪ] – life [laɪf]
-
[au] / [aʊ] / [ʌu] – now [nau]
Consonant Sounds
Consonants are sounds formed by a break or change in the flow of air with the help of the tongue, lips, teeth, consonants cannot be sung.
Consonants are divided into voiced consonants and voiceless consonants). Some consonants form pairs «voiced — voiceless sound«. But some consonants do not form such a pair, for example, «sonorant consonants».
| Voiced consonants | [b] | [d] | [ʒ] | [dʒ] | [g] | [v] | [ð] | [z] |

-
[m] – come [kʌm];
-
[n] – now [nʌu];
-
[l] – leg [leɡ];
-
[ŋ] – tongue [tʌŋ] singer [‘sɪŋər];

Origin of pronunciation
First recorded in 1400–50; late Middle English pronunciacion, from Latin prōnūntiātiōn- (stem of prōnūntiātiō) “delivery (of a speech),” equivalent to prōnūntiāt(us) (past participle of prōnūntiāre “to proclaim, announce, utter”) + -iōn- noun suffix; see origin at pronounce, -ate1, -ion
how to pronounce pronunciation
It may seem odd for the pronunciation of this very word to be an issue; the pronunciation of pronunciation should be evident from its spelling. The vowel in the second syllable is u, said as in the word up. It is not the diphthong ou, as in ouch. However, for some people, the impulse to retain the sound pattern of the familiar verb pronounce is too strong to resist, and we hear this word said as if it were spelled p-r-o-n-o-u-n-c-i-a-t-i-o-n all too frequently. All this is a reminder that the entire subject of “correct” pronunciation is fraught with controversy. Changes from what we heard growing up are often resisted with surprisingly passionate scorn. And yet we know that language is constantly changing, and that many pronunciations once attacked as ignorant are now accepted without question in even the most educated circles. For example, we hear [skiz—uhm], /ˈskɪz əm/, as well as the older [siz—uhm], /ˈsɪz əm/, for schism, and [fawr-tey], /ˈfɔr teɪ/, as well as the historically correct [fawrt], /fɔrt/, for the sense of forte meaning “something that one excels in” (see Pronunciation note at forte1 ). And stress patterns change with new generations: increasingly, [kuhm-pair-uh-buhl] /kəm pɛər ə bəl/ is overtaking [kom-per-uh-buhl] /ˈkɒm pər ə bəl/ for comparable. Language experts seize the opportunity to note and study these changes; language innovation can be fascinating—even exciting. But some deviations from the current norm will not become part of an accepted standard, and as long as the way one speaks remains a marker of one’s education, or one’s ability to perform well in school or in a prospective job, it is best to avoid misguided pronunciations like [pruh-noun-see-ey-shuhn]. /prəˌnaʊn siˈeɪ ʃən/.
