This is the first time I'm hearing about IPA. I wanted to test out how IPA works so I searched for chinese to IPA converter and came across this site: http://easypronunciation.com/en/chinese-pinyin-phonetic-tran...

I put in a few chinese sentences, got the IPA, then pasted into your app and listened to the sentence in IPA. Although it wasn't very accurate, its one of the coolest things I learned this year. Thank you very much for sharing.

I think a really cool next step is to add the ability to type things in and get the IPA and pronunciation.
