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.
Hi! This is the first iteration of the keyboard. Please, give it a try and let us know here in the comments your thoughts on the character layout, whether any characters are missing or any features you would like to see added.
Happy typing!
“The” should also have the alternate transcription of /ðə/.
That depends on the context. Out of context you get full form. Within the context it takes the following phoneme into account.
tophonetics is so good
it have me to know the street and do the exercises about phonetic well
thanks so much, tophnetics
toPhonetics is great
Hi, after I edit the ipa here, how do I hear it?
Not yet an option.
well, i cant copy it, EVEN if i go into inspect element, soo, yeah, its pointless
That’s weird. Cmd+C, Ctrl+C, right-click, nothing works? What OS/browser are you using?
Great
Just a short notice to congratulate you on your work! This keyboard works flawlessly on my (old) Mac, exactly as expected. It was a very nice touch to figure out if this page is being seen by a computer with a Mac keyboard layout and adjust the key labels for the modifier keys accordingly (I keep forgetting which one is supposed to do what!).
Simple, but effective, and I’d say it covers 99% of my incredibly limited IPA vocabulary.
Thanks again!
Thanks! Will see re detecting the layout in the future, but for now it’s just you being lucky to have a mac. 🙂
Just wanted to say thank you for this. Very helpful. Would you like me to promote this on my channel? Reach out if you do. Have a great weekend. ❤️ & 🕊. Liz
Oh, my teacher here!!!!!
This is my first time seeing the keyboard. I love the idea! I haven’t yet been able to try it out, but I will be doing so, for sure.
Is it best to post problems and issues into which we might run ; ) here as comments, or is there an official bug-reporting tool?
It’s best to post your feedback or thoughts in the comments on this page for now. Thanks!
alt+spacebar seems to be intercepted by the operating system to prioritize some sort of search function, i’m on desktop running windows 10
