This template produces a standard box to start a sound file. It has some extra features to help linking to a phonetic sound file. Also, there are options to format possible error messages and to alter the layout of the box. Basic examples:

{{IPA soundbox|ə}} →
ə
File "mid central vowel#Mid-central unrounded vowel.ogg" does not exist
{{IPA soundbox||χ|Voiceless_uvular_fricative.ogg}} →
χ

Usage rætta

The box is created in three steps:
Step 1. Determine the soundfile name

- By using input IPA symbol, looked up in a list:

ipa symbol=p

→

p

- Use input soundfile:

soundfile=bilabial click.ogg

→

ʘ

Step 2. Check if the soundfile exists This check may prevent red links and (undesired) repeated checks

Step 3. Create the standard browser soundbox on the page, using [[File:soundfile]] Here the information is put together, optional settings such as size are used, and the result is soundbox.

{{IPA soundbox|p|size=60px}} →
p

checkexist=no

c. When an error would exist, show an error message:

- default: show errormessage as error message

-

errortext=something is wrong

: Show alternate text when error

-
