does anyone know of a decent but low memory or low parameter count multilingual model (as many languages as possible), that can faithfully produce the detailed IPA transcription given a word in a sentence in some language?

I want to test a hypothesis for "uploading" neural network knowledge to a user's brain, by a reaction-speed game.

Espeak-ng.

You don't need a neural network. Traditional NLP is far better at this task. The keyword you're looking for is "phoenemizer"

can Espeak-ng provide the IPA transcription? or does it produce sound?

I'm surprised traditional NLP being better than ML models for this task, can you point me to a benchmark analysis pointing out that non-neural Espeak-ng is better than ML models?

Also, I asked for a neural model for another reason as well, I still want semantic knowledge present, I want more than pronunciation, but before I use myself as a test subject, I want to make sure I get the proper pronunciation in case the highly speculative "uploading game" works... I don't want to early systematically mis-train myself on pronunciation...
