Two useful desktop apps for IPA transcription

 There are now a few mobile apps for turning an orthographic text into an IPA phonetic text. But in practice, we will more likely use a desktop app for such tasks. 

They work like this: 

1. Type or paste in an orthographic text. 

2. Click submit, and the phonetic text will appear. 


Two such desktop apps i have found useful:

What I like about this app is that you can choose to show weak forms.

This is actually a translation platform. Besides giving you the IPA 'translation' for the orthographic text you input, you can also have the text translated into different languages, and immediately listen to how the translation is read out in that language.
