Transcriptor: Chrome Add-on for Instant Transcription
Transcriptor is a free add-on for Google Chrome developed by Alexander Myadzel. This useful tool assists users in transcribing English words by simply double-clicking on the word while holding Alt + Ctrl (or Alt + Cmd key on Mac).
The main purpose of Transcriptor is to provide instant transcription of unfamiliar words, especially when reading text on a web page. By using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), users can obtain the phonetic transcription of the word they are interested in. Additionally, if an audio file is available, users can also listen to the pronunciation of the word.
It is important to note that Transcriptor does not offer translation or usage examples. Its sole focus is to provide quick and accurate transcription of English words. With its simple and intuitive interface, this Chrome add-on is a valuable tool for language learners and individuals who frequently encounter unknown words while browsing the web.
