IPA pronunciation key
Collins Dictionaries have several pronunciations for each word. In the American section there are IPA and non-IPA pronunciations (e.g. face as /feɪs; fās/). Here we list only the IPA transcription.

In the "Learner" section the stressed vowel is underlined, instead of having an IPA stress mark.
