Hopelessly unreliable. I tried it on a number of words and phrases.
Some it doesn't convert at all, some it converts in almost a random
way, like orthographic <h> replaced by [Q]. It didn't recognized the
SIL IPA 93 font in my font library, even though that's the font it
asks for. It couldn't transcribe "caught." It comes up with
unexplained symbols like a double >. It does, however, convert
"little" with a syllabic /l/.
