Why XPhonetics
Dictionaries give you one word at a time.
Most pronunciation help stops at a single word: look it up, read the symbols, forget them by the next sentence. XPhonetics transcribes a whole paragraph at once and keeps the IPA under the original text, so you read the words and the sounds together.
