How do I hear how a word is pronounced?

Type the word, choose an accent and a male or female voice, then press Pronounce. The word is spoken aloud immediately.

How do you pronounce a name?

Type the name and press Pronounce, exactly like any other word. American or British is usually the safest voice for a name; if it comes from a particular language, switch to that accent when your device offers it. Play all reads it in every accent so you can compare.

Can I hear the same word in more than one accent?

Yes. Press Play all to hear the word in every available accent one after another, or use the Compare page to play two accents back to back.

Is this a pronunciation dictionary?

It is an audio pronunciation tool. Instead of listing dictionary entries it speaks the word aloud, so you hear the correct pronunciation instantly in the accent you choose — including names and brand words a dictionary may not list.

How do I know it is the correct pronunciation?

Each accent is spoken by a neural voice built from native speakers, so American, British and Australian each give that region’s standard pronunciation. Many words have more than one accepted pronunciation; Play all lets you hear the common variants.

Yes. Learn Pronounce is free, needs no account, and shows no advertising.

Can I slow the pronunciation down?

Yes. Slow, Normal and Fast are on the main screen, and the setting is remembered on your device.
