Description

The International Phonetic Alphabet keyboard for English which CAN BE USED IN OTHER APPS.

If you are a linguist, actor, presenter, public speaker or simply learn English, you often have to deal with phonetic transcription to note down the pronunciations of words and phrases.

Use the app to enter a transcription of a piece of text and share it with friends or colleagues or send it to Evernote.

From now on, you will be able to start use your device for transcription purposes.

Confusing purpose

So you can now add the IPA keyboard to your phone… big whoop. I needed something to tell me HOW to transcribe into IPA words which pronunciation I have doubts about into standard American or specific dialects.

Broad phonemics

This keyboard offers a limited set of symbols appropriate for relatively broad transcription of accents that happen to employ those particular sounds. In other words, it is a phonemic, not a phonetic, keyboard.

Missing some symbols

So I am a bit disappointed with this app - for 2 dollars i thought it would have a complete IPA. however, it does not have nasalization options (tilda above vowel symbol) dark l, or thorn.

If it had those 3 things it would definitely be 5 star app/keyboard.
