I have to assume IPA is basically gibberish to 99.9% of the world, if not more. Is there a digitally synthesized version? Whenever I'm reading Wikipedia/Wiktionary and see the phonetic version of a word, I wish I could click on it and hear the sounds (without having to have someone upload a sound file). The pronunciation key (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA/English) isn't particularly helpful.

Honestly, we're all basically just hoping whoever wrote it knows what the symbols mean. An example: Greenwich (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenwich).
