Good, not great.

Will not transcribe all given phonemes to IPA; will not transcribe my two syllable, European last name, for example. OK for broad transcription.

Rich Aesthetic Reviews ,

Nice app, couple asks to make the workflow smoother

Would be great if one could just long tap (or right click on mac) the IPA to copy it as text, or open an action menu allowing for different ways to copy it.

Would be nice if there was a way to see history, at least a running list of the 20 or so last searched words

Works well

I don’t really have much to say. I use this app almost daily as an armature linguistic nerd/conlanger, and it’s really handy to have on my phone. Only using 15 characters per day is kinda annoying, but it’s super easy to get around (this app has a f*k ton of bugs lol) so it’s not that bad. Overall, nice to have
