I am looking for a completely free French IPA translator as I'm currently attempting to learn the language and need help understanding the pronunciation. Looking for a text translator, audio optional

1This is free in the sense that if you don't mind waiting an hour between queries, you can get something.– user6726Feb 10, 2022 at 21:00
I would recommend Open IPA. It is a free text to IPA transcription service. However, it does NOT feature audio. Here is the link: https://www.openipa.org/transcription/french
You can try https://translate.yandex.com/ on-line translation service (French / English sentences), which gives IPA for the word you selected; does not support IPA for sentence and/or liasons, though. Gives translation examples.
