Type International Phonetic Alphabet Symbols

The International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) represents speech sounds with consistent symbols used by linguists, language learners, dictionaries, and pronunciation guides. This keyboard lets you insert common IPA consonants, vowels, modifiers, stress marks, and diacritics directly in your browser. It helps you type a transcription; it does not decide which sounds a word has.

FAQ

IPA Keyboard Questions

International Phonetic Alphabet symbols and transcription.

Is this IPA keyboard free?
Yes. It works in your browser without an account or installation.
Which IPA symbols are included?
The first version includes common pulmonic and non-pulmonic consonants, vowels, affricate tie marks, stress marks, length marks, tone marks, and common combining diacritics.

Why do some marks appear over a dotted circle?
A dotted circle shows where a combining diacritic attaches. When inserted after a base symbol, the mark combines with that symbol.

Does the IPA keyboard include audio?
No. It is a text input tool; use a pronunciation resource to hear a sound.
