Spontion translating Benim adım Mehmet to My name is Mehmet, with the pronunciation May neym iz Mehmet written for Turkish readers

The idea

Most apps tell you what a phrase means.
Spontion helps you say it.

Pick a Turkish phrase. The translation comes with a second line: the English sentence rewritten with Turkish spelling, so you can read it with the instincts you already have.

Your reading language is a setting. It works for every pair, even German to Japanese. 16 reading languages.
