Pronunciation

Several Wikimedia projects, such as Wikipedia, Wiktionary and Wikidata try to provide information on the pronunciation of words or names (either in writing or as recorded audio). For more information see:

• Wiktionary/Pronunciations
• Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Pronunciation and interwikis
• Commons:Pronunciation files requests
• the Wikidata properties P898 (IPA transcription) and P443 (pronunciation audio) (see also d:Wikidata:Wiktionary)

Past and present efforts to support collecting or displaying pronuncations better:

• Lingua Libre, an audio recording/uploading platform (active, project led by WM-FR)
• PronunciationRecording MediaWiki extension (2013 GSoC project, seems stalled/outdated); see also Commons:Pronunciation_recording
• WikiCon India 2016 hackathon project for Wikidata pronunciation uploading app (could not find any details)
