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.
