LATEST CHANGES
* Made popups work on non-link IPA keys (see Quebec). Event listeners are now attached to SPAN tags.
* Popups are now triggered by hovering over an IPA, instead of clicking.

What is it?
Ever find yourself stumped at an IPA pronunciation on Wikipedia? Of course you could click on the key to get to the IPA page and then do a manual lookup, but why? :) IPA Helper does that for you while letting you keep your attention on the Wikipedia article.

Thanks to Shacker Thresher for the idea and the feedback.

How does it work?
Hover over an IPA to get a pronunciation key popup.
