Thanks! - The IPA transcription screen is gesture-driven now. You can tap, double-tap, slide and pinch (more details below). - Speech controls have been simplified down to one and a half buttons... or thereabouts. - Speak a single word (tap) or selection (select with a horizontal swipe). - If not shown in a dictionary often enough, words suffer depression and runny nose. That's why we made this feature available for any word in the output (with a double-tap). - Size matters. Set the one you prefer for the output font with pinch gesture. - Improved handling of acronyms and hyphenated words. - Massive dictionary update, lots of new words and corrections. - Bug fixes (it should export OK to Evernote and other 3rd party apps now). Gestures (IPA transcription screen): 1. Single tap - Tap a word to set the cursor to it and speak it (you can mute/un-mute it with the button at your bottom-right). - Tap in a blank space to stop speech and hide the cursor. 2. Double-tap - Double-tap a word to open it in the built-in dictionary; if the word has multiple pronunciations you'll see the list of them first. - Double-tap in a blank space to reset the font to the size set in iOS preferences. 3. Pinch in or out to make the text smaller or larger. 4. Start to slide horizontally to select a part of your text. The Speak button respects current selection.
