How to use this Portuguese IPA translator and pronunciation generator

Introduction

This phonetic translator will help you obtain very accurate phonetic transcription of your Portuguese text.

It uses the symbols of International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) — the most popular phonetic transcription system in the world.

The algorithm to convert the words to phonetic transcription is based on a very complex set of pronunciation rules in Portuguese.

This phonetic translator supports both European and Brazilian Portuguese.

If you need to copy the phonetic transcription into another program or print it, please read our FAQ.

Learning Portuguese as second language: phonetic transcription can help you improve your Portuguese pronunciation

Portuguese pronunciation may present some difficulties to people starting to learn Portuguese. The pronunciation rules in the Portuguese language are pretty complicated. There are a lot of Portuguese letters that can be pronounced in different ways.

This tool will serve you as an Portuguese pronunciation guide and will help you save time. You will no longer need to look up the pronunciation of words in a dictionary.

If you use the phonetic transcription regularly in combination with Portuguese audio and video recordings, your pronunciation and listening skills in the Portuguese language will improve.
