how can i get all the IPA symbols?

[mphilli]

A decent portion of the symbols can be found on line #106 of the transcibe.py file. Here are the IPA symbols repeated here:

{"ə","eɪ", "ɑ", "æ", "ə", "ɔ", "aʊ", "aɪ", "ʧ", "ð", "ɛ", "ər", "h",
 "ɪ", "ʤ", "ŋ", "oʊ", "ɔɪ", "ʃ", "θ", "ʊ", "u", "ʒ", "i", "j"}

You'll notice some are missing here, though, mainly consonants. That's because the program converts the CMU Pronouncing Dictionary, which is in ARPABET notation, to IPA, and specifying the IPA symbols is unnecessary if they are the same, e.g. p → p.

So, this program does not precisely tell you all of the IPA symbols being used.

@mphilli, thanks for your reply, I have one more question. How can I split the symbols in one word? As a result of the word "drawing" is "drɔɪŋ", and it can be confusing about "d r ɔ ɪ ŋ" and "d r ɔɪ ŋ".

Maybe I'd need to understand better why you'd want to do that, but if you had an approved list of symbols that you wanted to potentially keep together, then you could create a function like this:

def split_word(ipa_word):

    together = ['ɔɪ'] # add more here
    together_space = [' '.join(list(i)) for i in together]

    split_ipa = ' '.join(list(ipa_word))

    for item in together_space:
        split_ipa = split_ipa.replace(item, item.replace(' ', ''))

    return split_ipa

print(split_word("drɔɪŋ"))
# prints 'd r ɔɪ ŋ'
