Not sure how to read a word from its phonetics? Use this endpoint to attach clear, natural pronunciation, with UK and US accents you can switch freely.

Overview

Just pass the word text and the desired accent, and the endpoint responds directly with a binary .mp3 audio stream. You can drop the endpoint URL straight into a frontend <audio> tag to play it, or download and save it as a local audio file. The audio field returned by the Word Lookup endpoint is also just a pre-assembled URL for this endpoint.

Notes

Note

Data format: On success this endpoint returns a binary audio/mpeg stream, not regular JSON. If you call it with Fetch or Axios, be sure to read the response as a blob or arraybuffer.
