1. It's aimed at practicing IPA (International Phonetics Alphabet) transcription of English words using General American accent. * Guess symbol: In this game, you are presented with three words that share a phonetic symbol which you have to guess. * Guess pronunciation: In this game you are presented with a written word and you have to write the pronunciation for it in IPA. * Guess spelling: In this game you are presented with the pronunciation of a word in IPA and you have to write the corresponding word.
2. This, in addition to training your pronunciation skills, trains your spelling! * Look up word: This function looks up the IPA pronunciation of a word.
3. Pronunroid is an educational game that makes practicing English phonetics more fun!
4. Right now, Pronunroid uses for the games the 2000 most common English words.
5. Pronunroid is aimed at English as second language (ESL) learners.
6. However, you can try to look up the pronunciation of any word with the search feature.
7. The application requires access to Internet in order to download the pronunciations.
8. If Wordnik is aware of different pronunciations, you will get them all.
9. It also sends anonymous statistics about its usage.
10. You can check out the symbols used at Wikitionary.

1. Request: Add much more words to "guess word" (such as 10000 most common).The app have a simpl design and it's very useful and works without internet but still miss a star for not including the feature of saying the words in loud .i have a problem with correct pronunciation.The app is good but lately it says that I need internet connection to translate sounds, but I don't understand, I'm connected, every other app works just fine with the connection, this gives me a headache.This app is great.
2. Would love to use it without glasses.This is good app we can search words of phonetics and makes a good practice too but sometimes it's not working properly it's stuck in the middle should take steps to prevent this but helps us to learn new phonetic words.....UPDATE: The developer responded, "Yes, there's no function to pronounce IPA, sorry." I raised my stars from 1 to 3 because they responded.
3. "Guess pronuciation" I don't like it, it's too hard, because there is too many ways to transcribe or interpret in IPA any word, for example the schwa can go in a lot of the unstressed syllables of any words, there is words with more than 1 pronunciation.
4. It's very useful when I want to learn how to pronounce words, make notes about pronunciation using IPA or just to remember how to say some words.
5. But there's a bug that sometimes makes me cant access to practices, the app says my device need internet connection to use the app functionally despite strong connection.
6. This game just made me exercise in a way I've never before had the opportunity, I could watch videos, research, read textbooks and articles, but this gives a new way to understand pronunciation.
7. This could make people think they spelled it wrong .I have an internet connection!!! Apparently a WiFi signal isn't recognized as reliable.
8. 😕🤔 ORIGINAL: Where's the function to pronounce the IPA? This app only offers one-way translation : to IPA.Just a robotic voice repeating phonetics.
9. If this is fixed, I'd love to give this great app a 5*It's a great app, but it would be nice to be able to change the font size in it.
10. "Guess word" has been tremendously useful to me.
11. Maybe they will add that functionality? 🙄🥺 I found a website that does pronunciation from IPA.
