I know it is possible to have Espeak take text and converted into international phonetic alphabet, I am wondering if the process can be reversed, taking international phonetic alphabet and converting it to text. Or even better, if it is possible to somehow program you speak to read the international phonetic alphabet, as a string of words, rather then listing of the character names.

Re: IPA

Don't quite get this and why you would want it. Is not the idea of phonetics
that the first letter in each word is the letter you are trying to
communicate?
Should be a simple programming job to look for a space then only read one
character at the start of a word.

Re: IPA

Hi Brian,
Although I do not understand the exact technicalities, what I can tell
you for certain is that phonetics (Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, etc.) are
different from the IPA, which is a textual or symbolic representation
of pronunciations or speech.
Thanks.

Re: IPA

No, it's not weird. It's a phonetic alphabet which is commonly used. The idea is so that linguistic constructs can be put into a form pronounceable by any trained person or synth. I'm not sure about going backward though.
