Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Speecher.org

Which English accents does Speecher offer (US, UK, Australian, Indian, others)?
Speecher supports 8+ English accents from major browsers and Universal voices: American (General American), British (Received Pronunciation), Australian, Indian, Canadian, South African, Irish, and Nigerian. Use the US/UK accent radio to filter the voice grid by accent.
Can it show IPA transcription for English words?
Yes — enable Karaoke mode and IPA appears beneath every English word as it's spoken. The default "Word + IPA" display covers the whole text, with accent-aware transcriptions (US, UK, AU) selectable via the accent radio.
Can I compare the same phrase in different English accents?
Yes — type any text and click between voices in the voice grid. The same phrase plays back with American /æ/ vs British /ɑː/ in words like "bath", "dance", "class" — helping you train your ear to the differences.
Can Speecher help me practice commonly mispronounced English words?
Yes — the Dictionary tab on the homepage lists tricky English words (entrepreneur, colonel, schedule, Worcestershire, …). Click any to hear the correct pronunciation in your chosen accent.
Can I download English audio as MP3 for offline practice?
Yes — for Universal English voices, click the MP3 button to download. Browser voices play in real time only.
Does Speecher.org have an on-screen keyboard for English?
Yes. On the Speak page, click the keyboard button next to the Karaoke toggle and the English keyboard opens below the text box. You can type with your mouse or finger without switching your device's layout. Speecher's on-screen keyboard supports 29 languages — including Cyrillic, Arabic, Chinese (pinyin and cangjie), Hangul and kana — and on phones it doesn't cover the screen with the system keyboard.
Can I dictate English text by voice?
Yes. Speecher's Speech-to-Text turns your spoken English into editable text: open the Speech-to-Text section and tap the microphone. In Google Chrome the words are recognized in real time as you speak, and it also works in other modern browsers. Over 40 dictation languages are supported.
