# Fr-word to IPA pronunciation
Converting French words into their phonemic pronunciation

This module aims at predicting the usual prononciation of the French words in the 
[French Wiktionary](https://fr.wiktionary.org/). 
More precisely, it aims at predicting the syllabized phonemic pronunciation contained in the {{pron|***IPA***|fr}} tag of a French Wiktionary entry.

To use it, simply give an input containing the word that you want to translate followed by ":", for example: "bonjour:".
The model will produce the predicted pronunciation, for example "bɔ̃.ʒuʁ".

This module has not yet been fully tuned, it thus remained experimental.

The input lenght is currently limited to a maximum of 60 letters.
