Why does IPAtics charge for Premium when EasyPronunciation has a free tier?

IPAtics free tier covers 10 transcriptions per day across all 14 languages, plus unlimited phoneme tooltips and TTS. Premium unlocks unlimited transcriptions, longer texts, all 6 Anki card types, and Speech Analyzer. EasyPronunciation's free converters are useful but more limited in scope and integration.

Will my old EasyPronunciation lookups transfer?

No direct import. EasyPronunciation does not export saved words. Most users find that re-encountering vocabulary in their current reading is a better retention strategy than bulk-importing old lookups anyway.

Does IPAtics work offline?

No — transcription runs through our API and requires a network connection. EasyPronunciation has the same limitation. If you need a fully offline tool, look for a dictionary app with built-in IPA.

What languages does IPAtics not support that EasyPronunciation does?

EasyPronunciation's coverage varies by plan. IPAtics currently supports 14 languages. If a specific language is critical and we do not support it, the comparison may not favour IPAtics for your use case.

What IPAtics does better

One plan, all 14 languages

If you study German and want to dip into Spanish, IPAtics covers both on the same plan. Premium €4.99/month includes every supported language at once.

Modern in-app workflow

IPAtics runs as a desktop app with a global hotkey. Select any word in any application, get IPA in a floating overlay. EasyPronunciation requires you to switch to a browser tab and paste text every time.

AI flashcard generation built in

Six Anki card types per word, generated at your CEFR level, with language-specific grammar (German articles, French gender, Russian case endings, Turkish vowel harmony). EasyPronunciation has no flashcard integration.

Speech Analyzer included

Record your pronunciation, get phoneme-level scoring with articulator-specific feedback (jaw, lips, tongue, voicing). Premium feature, included in the same plan.

What EasyPronunciation does better

Honest comparison cuts both ways. If these strengths matter most to you, EasyPronunciation might still be the right tool.

Browser-based, no install

Works on any operating system from any browser. If you switch machines frequently or work on locked-down corporate hardware that does not allow installs, EasyPronunciation is accessible everywhere.

Mature service

EasyPronunciation has been around since the early 2010s. The transcription quality for supported languages is well-validated. Stability matters for some users.

Cancel any plans you no longer need before switching, so you stop paying for tools you have replaced.
