Takes 20 minutes to learn, and you have nothing better to do.

>>It would be nice if it were widely used, as you would immediately know how to pronounce something rather than have to listen to someone say it first, or guess.  Oftentimes people will mispronounce words they hear, so this would be great.

That may be the case in theory. But English has many diverse accents and dialects, and pronunciations are extremely variable. I don't think things would work that easily.
