About UK IPA Pop-up
See how any English word is pronounced in British English: just highlight it.
Double-click or select a word on any web page, and UK IPA Pop-up shows its British (UK) pronunciation in the International Phonetic Alphabet, right next to the word.
• Instant and offline: about 115,000 words are built into the extension. No waiting, no internet needed.
• Private: the words you highlight never leave your computer. No account, no tracking, no ads.
• Understands word forms: highlight "running" or "cities" and it finds "run" or "city" when needed.
• Shows alternatives: words with more than one common pronunciation, like "record", show both.
• Lightweight: the pop-up disappears when you click elsewhere.
Great for:
• English learners working on pronunciation
• Teachers and students of English or linguistics
• Anyone who reads English online and wants to check how a word sounds in British English
How to use it:
1. Install the extension.
2. Reload any tabs that were already open.
3. Highlight a single word on a web page: its UK IPA appears above it.
Good to know:
• It works on single words, not phrases.
• Pronunciations are British English, mostly Received Pronunciation (the standard southern British accent).
• A few rare words, names and very new words may not be found.
