English-Russian translator with English pronunciation. Transcription and pronunciation of English words online

Transcription is a recording of the sound of a letter or word in the form of a sequence of special phonetic symbols.

Why is transcription of English words needed?

Knowing English transcription is useful. This makes it possible to easily read and correctly pronounce an unfamiliar English word on your own, without outside help. Just look in the dictionary or use online services.

Review of Internet resources

The Lingorado transcript has following features and functions:

• British or American pronunciation of words. When choosing a British dialect, in accordance with British phonetics, the [r] at the end of a word is voiced only if the next word in the phrase begins with a vowel sound.
• Familiar symbols of the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA).
• Transcription of the text preserves the original sentence format, including punctuation marks, etc.
• The ability to display transcriptions taking into account the weak position of words in a sentence, as happens in live, connected speech (the “Take into account weak position” checkbox).
• Unfound words typed in uppercase are interpreted as abbreviations (the transcription of abbreviations is displayed letter by letter, separated by a hyphen).
• To make it more convenient to check the original, parallel output of the transcription in two columns with the original English text or interlinear translation is possible. Simply indicate the desired option under the input field.
• Needed English lyrics in Russian letters? Please! Next to the input field there is a corresponding checkbox for those who have never learned English (however, phonetic transcription easy to learn and always preferable).
• In cases where a word may be pronounced differently, you can choose from several transcription options. Such words are displayed as links (in blue). If you hover your mouse over them, a list of pronunciation options will appear. To sort through the options in the text (in order to then print or copy the text to the clipboard with the correct pronunciation), you need to click on the word with the mouse.
  Keep in mind that multiple transcriptions may reflect both pronunciation variations in one meaning and the pronunciation different meanings words. If you are not sure which option is needed in your case, check the dictionary.
• In addition to commonly used words, the dictionary base includes transcriptions of a huge number of geographical names (including the names of countries, their capitals, US states, counties of England), as well as nationalities and the most popular names.
• Unfound words (shown in red) are registered, and if repeated in queries, they are regularly added to the dictionary database.
• If your browser supports speech synthesis (Safari - recommended, Chrome), you can listen to the transcribed text. Details at the link.
• Instead of the “Show transcription” button, you can use the Ctrl+Enter key combination from the input field.
• A multilingual version of the transcriptionist and an application for Apple and Android mobile devices are also available.

The Sound Word service makes it easy to find out transcription, pronunciation and translation of English words online. To use it, you need to enter a word and click “Search”. After a short pause, it provides a transcription of the English word, pronunciation and translation. For convenience, there are two options: British and American. You can also listen to pronunciation options online.

We encounter discrepancies in the spelling and pronunciation of English words already in the first lessons, when we begin to read on our own small texts and translate them. Therefore, along with the alphabet and simple vocabulary, beginning students need to become familiar with the concept of English transcription. It is this multi-symbol system that helps convey in writing the pronunciation of the sounds that make up a word. In today's lesson we will analyze the work of these symbols in practice, i.e. We will learn how the English transcription, translation and pronunciation of the most useful words should sound correctly. In this case, examples of the correct sound will be presented in both English and Russian. But first, let's look at a few useful rules.

The principle of working with transcription

Record. Make it a rule that transcriptions of English words are always written using square brackets: book — [ b ʊk ] - book.

Emphasis. To indicate emphasis, use an apostrophe or, more simply, a stroke icon ′ , which preceded stressed syllable: dictionary – [ˈdɪkʃənrɪ] - dictionary.

Special signs. The transcription may contain periods, colons, parentheses, and resized letters.

• Dot - English uses this transcription mark as a syllable separator: undisputed – [ˈʌndɪsˈpjuːtɪd] – undeniable.
• Colon – indicator of a drawn-out long sound: water – [‘ w ɔ:t ə] – water.
• Parentheses are an indicator that the sound contained in them is not pronounced or is pronounced very weakly: happen – [‘ h æp (ə)n ] - happen, happen.
• The changed size of the letter is a designation of a sound that is not always pronounced. You can often find the r sound written in superscript format. This is an indicator that the pronunciation of a word depends on dialect or other circumstances, such as the following word: car – [ k ɑːr ] - car. By the way, the British pronunciation of words is abbreviated UK, and the American pronunciation is US.

Repeated characters. Depending on the dialect being studied, the recording of transcription signs may also differ. However, only their spelling is different; these sounds are pronounced the same. Here are pairs of such identical symbols: [ɒ] = [ɔ] , [e] = [ɛ] , [ʊ] = [u] , [əʊ] = [ɔu] , [z:] = [ə:] , = [ɛə] .

Armed with these rules, let's begin our acquaintance with the transcription and pronunciation of the English language.

English transcription translation and pronunciation of popular words

It is not new to Russians that words are pronounced differently from how they are written. But the sometimes very large-scale inconsistency that is found in the English language will amaze even the most unimpressive native speakers of the Russian language.

In the following tables we will study all the transcription signs of the English language, working out their correct sound using popular words. Since we still have an initial level of knowledge, we will work with pronunciation in easy mode, i.e. additionally deciphering English words in Russian letters. In addition, each word will be presented With translation ohm into Russian. So by the end of studying the tables we will have significantly expanded our lexicon and, working with entry-level texts, we will be able to do without dictionaries and online translators.

Let's start with practicing vowel sounds, since they are the most “capricious” in pronunciation. Extend the short sound a little - and that’s it, you have already said not a ship, but a sheep. Therefore, be careful and monitor the quality of pronunciation of each sound.
