Phonetics is the study of the sounds of human speech. This site aims at helping people interested in phonetics to practice and transcribe the characters of the IPA. The site also includes the IPA Writer, which is an immensely valuable tool which can be used to transcribe and For discussing phonetics or other linguistics, we provide the IPA Forum.
