Description
There’s never been a more effective and exciting way to learn the International Phonetic Alphabet than with Interactive IPA, a unique interactive demonstration of phonetics. By allowing you to click on any IPA symbol and instantly hear it and learn more about it, this app will expand your knowledge and comprehension of phonetics.
The app is brought to you, and voiced, by Paul Meier, a theatre professor specializing in voice, speech, accents and dialects, phonetics, heightened text, and Shakespeare; a renowned dialect coach for theatre and film; and a voice-over artist with many commercials and audio books to his credit. This has been his calling for more than 40 years, in his native London, in the United States where he is now based, and all over the world. He holds a first-class Certificate of Proficiency from the International Phonetic Association.
Among many of the famous directors with whom Meier has worked is Oscar winner Ang Lee, who says, “Paul [is] invaluable in maintaining dialect and ensuring clean, clear speech. … He has a great feel for the language, … and Paul’s contribution [to my film] through speech, voice, and dialect was crucial.”
In addition to the official IPA charts, this app presents one extra chart of Meier’s own devising: diphthongs and triphthongs of American and British English. The app is designed by Scott Means, based upon the official charts of the International Phonetics Association and an original interactive design by Eric Armstrong.

Missmarissa1010,
Not quite what I was hoping for
As a speech-language pathology student, I am taking phonetics and thought this app would help me with that course. My biggest disappointment with this app is that I have to have the headphones in to hear any sound (when I take the headphones out I turn the sound all the way up and cannot hear a thing). Even with the headphones in and the sound turned all the way up it is still not very loud. To me this app would be more useful if it included examples of words for each phoneme.

This App is a game changer
Paul Meier has designed and developed an app appears to be a true game changer in the field of learning and understanding the nuances and subtleties of dialect. Even though I do not earn my keep as a voice actor or artist, the small amount of work I have done in this field give me the ability to truly appreciate what a remarkable tool the Interactive IPA is. The variances in how we orally express our thoughts and communications is fascinating when we study and contemplate them beyond simply noticing a different accent or dialect. Dr. Meier has provided the user with the ability to listen to these variances in a way that informs and deepens the understanding of how we talk. I have enjoyed using this app as a means of exploration as well as a valuable tool to prepare for a role or voicing task.

Great tool for actors, accent coaches, directors, etc.!
This app by noted dialect/accent/Original Pronunciation and Shakespeare guru Paul Meier, fills a huge void-it’s the best and frankly, the only quality resource for this material on the iTunes store and I’ve used most of the other apps of this kind.
It’s an essential tool for those requiring a portable reference of this material. The detailed presentation of all areas of the standard IPA chart is top-notch. An added bonus is the ability to compare British and American English in the diphthong section and the extensive presentation of diacritics-a critical feature in IPA transcription.
There are many other resources by Paul on iTunes for actors/directors/coaches, etc., interested in dialects and accents of English. Do yourself a favor and check them out!

Michael in Michigan,
Very helpful App
I am a voice, speech, and accent trainer that is quite rigorous with my college students when it comes to their understanding of phonetics. As the long-serving Director of Technology for VASTA (the Voice & Speech Trainers Association), I have always been happy to incorporate technology into my teaching. Of all the phonetics apps I have examined, this is the most inclusive of the many sounds and notations that make up the entirety of the International Phonetics Alphabet chart. It is extremely helpful for students of phonetics to learn the relation between the symbols and the sounds they represent. Though other reviewers have complained about sound issues, I have never had any type of issue. Thanks for an extremely helpful teaching tool
AccentJim,
Very Useful
This is a well-constructed app - the mechanics of the app work quite well, just as I would hope, and the layout is useful and thought out. Paul is, deservedly, very well respected in the world of dialects for actors, so he is a very logical person to put together an app like this. He even goes into diphthongs and triphthongs, which are not included in the IPA's materials. You might find that you use some slight variations on the symbols he uses for these, but even if you do, it's still clear and very helpful. I'm telling my acting students about it! It's great for them to have this resource in their pockets; I'll be using it, too!

Amazingly comprehensive IPA tool
The best $3.99 I've spent in a long time! Paul Meier's Interactive IPA app is exactly what it says it is. Every chart created by the International Phonetic Association is comprehensively covered, with an audio file for every phoneme, diacritic, and suprasegmental--plus there's an added diph/triphthong chart for both American and UK pronunciations (just click on the flag for the chart to turn from one to the other). For actors in dialect/accent training as well as students in linguistics or SLP studies, this is an incredible tool to have ready at all times at their fingertips. My dialect and speech students love it and rely upon it for their transcription work. Well done!
burtongal7,
Great App!
I was reluctant to buy this since I read a couple of comments that said the sound was unplayable. But I gave it a try. It worked perfectly for me! Maybe the other buyers tried playing it on their computer. I tried that first until I remembered this type of app works only for iPhone and iPad. I would highly recommend this app for people wanting to study phonetics or voice in general.
bgomes,
Useful but not really an app
It’s basically just a few screens you page through with a sound attached to each of the symbols. Still, it’s useful but a little odd to charge for something this limited. You think that might be the intro or help pages but it’s actually the whole app! I guess he is a famous dialogue coach and the app covers complex aspects of IPA, but it is really an almost trivial ‘app’
C. de Veer,
Thank you thank you for this terrific app!
Once again, Paul Meier has offered Voice professionals and students an accessible, clear tool to assist in the study of dialects. With this interactive app, my students are finding learning the IPA not only less onerous, but actually fun! The charts are highly detailed and the sound quality of the voiceovers impeccable. This app is a boon to my teaching and coaching.
D. Hague,
So Convenient!
Paul Meier's latest innovation is an Interactive IPA app for IPhones and Ipads- an incredible resource for instructors, and students/actors at varying levels of experience. The visual layout is straightforward, the sounds demonstrated are both clear and nuanced, its user-friendly, and its inexpensive. It's extremely convenient and effective as a teaching aid because of its portability and overall design. Thanks!
