Phonic - English Pronunciation
Education
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Master English pronunciation and IPA, in British and American English. Spell words in IPA and see exactly which sound you got wrong. 10,000+ words, no ads.
Phonic turns English pronunciation into a game. You see an English word, build its pronunciation with IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) symbols, and Phonic shows you exactly which sound you got wrong. Practise British or American English, from your first phonetics lesson to exam preparation.
HOW IT WORKS
• Get a word, from short one-syllable words to long words with tricky stress.
• Tap the IPA symbols to build its phonetic transcription. From level 5 you also place the stress mark.
• Check your answer: Phonic highlights the exact phoneme that is off, so you learn from every mistake.
• Stuck? Read the definition, listen to the audio or ask for a hint. Each aid costs a few points.
TWO GAMES
• Guess Pronunciation: you get the word, you write the IPA. 20 levels of increasing difficulty, with progress and accuracy tracked for each one.
• Guess Word: read an IPA transcription and find the English word it spells.
LEARN AND LOOK UP
• Every English sound, with example words you can listen to.
• Short, practical pronunciation rules: silent letters, word endings, word stress, vowels and consonants.
• A built-in pronunciation dictionary with IPA transcriptions and definitions.
MADE FOR YOUR COURSE
• British English (Received Pronunciation) or American English (General American), with separate scores for each accent.
• Use the notation of your textbook: length marks, /e/ or /ɛ/, /r/ or /ɹ/, /ɜr/ or /ɝ/.
• More than 10,000 words, with audio in both accents.
• Available in 19 languages, with light and dark themes.
• Sign in with email, Google or Apple to keep your scores in sync on all your devices.
FREE TO START, NO ADS
Play the first six levels of both games for free. Unlock all 20 levels with a single in-app purchase: no subscription, and no ads in either version.
Phonic is made for ESL learners, English teachers and students of phonetics, and it is a great companion for IELTS, TOEFL, Cambridge B2 First, C1 Advanced and other English exams.
