how do you pronounce these words?

Adobe, Google, Penis, Vantage point, Laboratory and Multimedia.

Pls use antimoon's transcription.

thank you.

Is Antimoon's transcription written down somewhere? I'll use my own system which makes sense to me.

@-doe-bee
goo-gle
pee-nis (honestly, man...)
van-tidge point
lab-ra-tore-ee
mul-tie-mee-dee-@

See http://www.mxsmanic.com/words.html for American pronunciations.

Thanks for your reply. I didn't get your suggested pronunciations of above mentioned words. I can understand only ASCII.

Thanks mxm. I'll check that link out.

If you don't have a font installed that supports IPA, see

http://www.mxsmanic.com/words.pdf (Acrobat format, with the IPA)

I would recommend you get familiar with XSAMPA as compared to antimoon's system, as XSAMPA is most widely used on this forum, and is very widespread in other places. XSAMPA is basically IPA but written with normal keyboard characters so everyone can read and write them. Here's a link to understand it:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XSAMPA

If you're not familiar with IPA there's also a link in that article to plenty of information explaining IPA on the wikipedia site.

My XSAMPA pronunciations of those words (the phonemic transcriptions on the left will be easier to understand at first, but the ones on the right are the more specific transcriptions):

Adobe /@dobi/ ---> [@"do:bi]
Google /gMg@l/ --> ["gM:g5=]
Penis /pinIs/ --> ["p_hi:nIs]
Vantage point /væntIdZ pOInt/ --> ["væ:nIdZ p_hOI~?]
Laboratory /læbr@tOri/ --> ["læ:br\@t_hOri]
Multimedia. /mVltaImidi@/ --> [mo5t_haI"mi4i@]

Sometimes I also use [mo5t_hi] in "multimedia" instead of [mo5t_haI].

I pronounce those as:

"Adobe" : /@"dobi/ --> [@"do.bi]
"Google" : /"gugl=/ --> ["gu.gl=]
"penis" : /"pinIs/ --> ["p_hi~.nIs]
"vantage point" : /"v{ntIdZ poInt/ --> ["v{~.4~IdZ p_hoI~?]
"laboratory" : /"l{br@%tori/ --> ["5{.br@.%t_ho.r\i]
"multimedia" : /%mOltaI"midi@/ --> [%mO5.taI~."mi.4i@]

It's not that often when I have to figure out what not only the primary stress but also what the secondary stress is in a word.

Little correction: that should be have [%mO5.t_haI~."mi.4i@]; I'm not used to thinking of aspiration *inside* of words, so hence I neglected that case, but I saw Kirk's example above, checked carefully, and yes, I aspirate that /t/ as well.

Ack, sorry for the double post.
