By checking the box, you certify that you have read and understood the instructions below regarding the use of the phoneme picker in this exam: You will need to use the phoneme picker website to copy and paste answers into the response boxes for the fill in the blank questions on this exam.  The phoneme picker is  located at this address: https://r12a.github.io/pickers/ipa/ You may not visit any outside web site, other than the phoneme picker site. In order to access the Phoneme Picker, go to the “Guidelines” button in the blue toolbar at the bottom of your screen. The Phoneme Picker Site will be listed there. Locate and click on the symbol for each phoneme in the word, then copy and paste your answer into the answer box for each question. Include slashes.  Do not include spaces in your answer. Transcribe syllable boundaries, primary and secondary word stress ONLY when instructed (questions 13-17).  Compose the whole word transcription in the phoneme picker window and then transfer it into the appropriate boxes. Don’t forget that you will need to click on two symbols to create the diphthongs (/eɪ/ /oʊ/ /aɪ/ /aʊ/  /ɔɪ/ /ɪr/ /ɛr/ /ɑr/ /ɔr/ /ʊr/).   Reminder: The symbols for primary and secondary word stress, as well as the diacritic for syllabic consonants, are located in the bottom row in the phoneme picker.
