This online keyboard let’s you type IPA using your hardware keyboard. The full IPA character set is arranged into 4 layouts:
- Main: most common characters;
- WIth Shift key down: the rest of most common characters;
- With Alt key down: diacritics;
- With Alt+Shift down: tone marks, clicks and the rest characters.
Press Shift and/or Alt keys on your hardware keyboard to learn the additional layouts. When you are happy, just copy the content of the field with your usual “Select All” and “Copy” commands.
Shortcuts inside input area:
- Undo [⌃/⌘ + Z]. Redo [⌃/⌘ + ⇧ + Z].
- Move to “Find” field: [⌃/⌘ + F]. Find next [⌃/⌘ + G]. Find previous [⌃/⌘ + ⇧ + G].
- Replace [⌃/⌘ + J]. Replace all [⌃/⌘ + ⇧ + J].
Hi! This is the 2nd iteration of the keyboard. We added undo/redo and find/replace features and ironed out a few other things.
Any features you would like to see added? Any characters missing? Any suggestions on the character layout? Please, let us know in the comments.
Happy typing!
Thanks.

Noted, thank you.
I do not see rhotic vowels anywhere. Am I simply missing them?
Rhotic shwa is (Alt/Option + 6). Rhotic hook is (Alt/Option + 3) and can be combined with other characters. Or are you looking for something else?
It is hoped that users will be able to download this keyboard and use it on their own computers
I hope you will understand my question.
In words like carton, cotton, Manhattan, mountain, and many more, dictionaries transcribe the final part as [-tən] with a schwa, which is correct, but orally Americans make a difference between these and other words like important, and I have not seen them transcribed as [tņ]. This is how I teach, i.e. button pronounced [bʌ́tņ], Burton [bʌ́rtņ], Manhattan [məŋhǽtņ].
My question is that I do not see the symbol [ņ] on your keyboard.
Am I wrong?
Valid question. Diacritics are under Alt/Option key. That is to type [n̩] you type N first and then Alt/Option+A. Hope that helps.
Also keep in mind the above is more of a specialist convention used in phonetic transcriptions. Cambridge, for example, promotes an alternative convention for syllabic consonants in its dictionaries: /ᵊn/.
I’m so glad this page exist bc this helps me when I have to learn pronunciation when I present, I love this
A click, an implosive, a percussive bilabial? Any links?
Chefchaouen should be phonetically like this: “ˈʃɛfʃʌwən”
“A” should be /ei/
hello I see the keybroad is nice five stars ✨
Hello! Your website is pretty complete, but could i ask if it would possible for you to create a keyboard that could read aloud the transcriptions users write in it? I think it would be a very useful tool to add! In any case, thank you for developing this site!
Thank you for the suggestion, will consider. If you have an iOS device, our toPhonetics Keyboard already does that.
Please consider making an android version of your toPhonetics Keyboard. We need something like this on Android.
