If you are looking for a Python script for generating a LaTex command(s) for the given International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), then you are at the right place. Python-LaTex-IPA is a small Python script for doing such work neatly.
If you have ever considered looking up a dictionary, regardless of it is type: paper dictionary or online, you came up with some special characters appearing beside the word (for example word: excellent, /ˈɛks(ə)l(ə)nt/). These special characters (i.e., enclosed in obliques) are the International Phonetic Alphabets (IPA), which corresponds to a sound for each letter. Thus, with the help of the IPA sequence, you can identify the correct pronunciation of the word.
It is a very tedious task for the researchers and authors of scientific papers with LaTex typesetting to write IPAs for the words which are not in the English language. In this regard, Python-LaTex-IPA helps them to generate the (almost) correct LaTex commands to produce IPA.
