I present the IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) TTS (text-to-speech) bookmarklet. (Source)
Bookmarklet: IPA TTS (drag to your bookmark bar)
How to use: select any text that contains IPA and click on the bookmarklet. Wait a second for the iframe at the bottom of the page to load.
Try these examples: /ˌɪntəˈnæʃnəl/, /ˌɪntɚˈnæʃnəl/
How does this work?
The bookmark creates a POST request to the AT&T Natural Voices® Text-to-Speech Demo with the IPA text in SSML. The AT&T demo has modest support for IPA, but often fails. If you know of another IPA TTS engine, please let me know or fork the bookmarklet and add it.
This afternoon I made a custom stylesheet and script to format Wikipedia nicely for me when I am logged on from my iPhone. If you have a Wikipedia account, you can easily use them by adding them to your own monobook.css and monobook.js. Screenshots below.
While searching for a list of unwatched articles in Wikipedia (which isn’t published as far as I can tell), I found the category of hidden categories. Interestingly, the “hidden categories” category itself is not a hidden category[1].
