French writes letters it never says and links words you would never guess. Paste any sentence and watch silent letters dim, liaisons and enchaînement link up, and a real connected-speech IPA line appear.
ils parlent
Half the letters are silent. Say every one and it comes out robotic, but the spelling never tells you which to drop.
vous‿avez
A z-sound wakes up between words that isn't even written. Miss these liaisons and you sound stilted and foreign.
une‿amie
Words melt into each other. The n slides onto the next word and the syllable break quietly moves.
/ le z‿a mi /
Dictionary forms pasted together aren't the real sound. les amis becomes one connected phrase, not three.
French letters go silent without warning, and words melt into each other when spoken. Read it as written and no one understands you. The tool marks up the gap between the page and the mouth.
Every letter French writes but never says fades out, so you stop voicing them.
The hidden consonant that wakes up between words is drawn in with the sound it borrows.
Where a spoken consonant slides onto the next vowel, the syllable break visibly moves.
A clean IPA line for the whole phrase as it is actually said, not dictionary forms stitched together.
Rename any sound to notation your ear trusts, English letters, Chinese, anything.
Export any annotated phrase as a clean image for your notes or flashcards.
Beginner to early-intermediate
Made for anyone who can read French words but isn't sure how they sound, the stage where spelling actively lies to you. Past that, it's still a fast sanity-check for liaison and tricky chains.
A word, a sentence, a whole paragraph. No setup, no account, just drop it in.
Silent letters fade, liaison arcs appear, the IPA line spells out the real sound.
Respell the sounds in notation you trust, then export the line as an image.
Phone or laptop. Nothing to install, no account to make.
A word, a line, lyrics, a menu. Whatever you want to say out loud.
Helpful if you read it, but you can swap every symbol for your own respelling.
A liaison is a normally-silent final consonant that gets pronounced because the next word starts with a vowel, like the z-sound in vous avez (vous‿avez). The tool marks each one and shows the borrowed sound.
A liaison wakes up a consonant that would otherwise be silent. Enchaînement takes a consonant that is already pronounced and slides it onto the following vowel, shifting the syllable break. The tool draws both, distinctly.
Yes, a connected-speech IPA line for the whole phrase as it is actually spoken, not dictionary forms pasted together. You can also swap IPA for your own respelling.
No. You can rename every sound to your own notation, English letters, Chinese, whatever your ear trusts, and the tool reads it back that way.
