Description
Transcriber
From X-SAMPA to IPA
Easy, intuitive & powerful
Transcriber transcribes any input in X-SAMPA to the International Phonetics Alphabet (IPA). The results can be then copied to the clipboard or shared.
Main Features
- Easy and intuitive
- Fast transcription
- Allows to copy or export results
- Checks for updates regularly
Example
An example of a trascription would be the English sentence "I'm a father and a human":
X-SAMPA Input:
["aIm @ "fA:[email protected](r\) "{nd @ "[email protected]]
→ IPA Output:
[ˈaɪm ə ˈfɑːðə(ɹ) ˈænd ə ˈçjʊmən]
How it works
You type the text in X-SAMPA (of any length) and it transcribes it. It then allows you to copy the results to the clipboard, open the share sheet and share the results or create a Bear note*.
When importing to a Bear note, you will be asked whether to use square brackets or slashes, to make your life even easier. This note will be date stamped.
*The Bear app is not required for the Shortcut to run properly.
Why and when this is useful
It's very useful if you need to use IPA symbols and you don't have a special keyboard, since you can type in X-SAMPA with any normal keyboard.
With this Shortcut, you won't need to copy paste the symbols from online dictionaries or Wikipedia.
