My 5-year-old is learning to read and I keep having to say "yeah sorry, that letter is silent" and "no, those letters make a different sound in this word."
So I built Ingglish — English where every letter always makes the same sound. "ough" alone makes 6 different sounds (though, through, rough, cough, thought, bough). In Ingglish, every letter has one sound, no silent letters, no exceptions.
- Paste text to see it translated instantly
- Translate any webpage while preserving its layout
- Chrome extension to browse the web in Ingglish
- Fully reversible — Ingglish text can be converted back to standard English (minus homophones)
The core translator, DOM integration, and website are all open source:
