Version 2.0 of IPA Keyboard brings some long awaited features: - Add custom keyboard layouts. Modify or hide existing layouts. Undo with 'cmd z' in the input field. Cycle through layouts with 'ctrl tab' and 'ctrl shift tab'. Change the size of the interface with 'cmd +' or 'cmd -'. IPA Keyboard now remembers the text in. Apr 07, 2012 I have a MacBook Pro, and as a Phonetics student, it would be immensely helpful to have IPA on my computer. I've downloaded and installed Charis SIL, and the next part is to download and install an IPA Unicode keyboard layout. I've done that, and the instructions tell me to put the file into the Library folder called 'keyboard layouts.' To easily copy and type the IPA symbols and characters found in this chart, use the IPA Unicode “Keyboard”, which is built off of this document. You can support this work by purchasing an IPA chart shirt on CafePressor Zazzle(shown left), or better yet by donating via PayPal(see link below). This iPad keyboard is designed with a compact form factor that also gives you a better viewing angle.

Introduction
This page explains how to set up International Phonetic Alphabet IPA fonts and keyboard layouts on your computer.
Keyboard layouts allow you to enter IPA fonts directly by hitting key combinations, as explained below. I work with the IPA a lot, so I find keyboard entry indispensable.
Which font to get?
- Most modern computers should already have some fonts that can display IPA characters. But what you sometimes see is some characters appearing in a different font than the rest of the text, like this:
- This is because many fonts only have a partial Unicode character set, which covers the standard (Latin alphabet) ASCII set but not much more. Your computer will substitute a more comprehensive font if its default font lacks the IPA characters. On Mac OS, this is Lucida Grande, for example.
- I like Linux Libertine and Linux Biolinum. The fonts are freely distributed under a GNU Public License, and they work on any OS.
- Another popular font is Doulos SIL. See the SIL webpage for details. I think it’s kind of ugly.
How to use the fonts: Web interface
- This is the slow but universal way. It even works on iOS and Android.
- Go to ipa.typeit.org. You can point and click on any IPA symbol with your mouse or finger, and the character will appear in the text box.
- From there, you can copy and paste the transcriptions into your document writing program, then change the font of the doc to Linux Libertine if you like, and you’re done.
- Another nice interface is http://westonruter.github.io/ipa-chart/keyboard/. That one lays out the IPA symbols in a clickable IPA chart.
OS-specific Methods
These are much faster and more efficient. Invest some time into learning them and you will save yourself time in the long run.
Windows
- Check out this page, ipa4linguists. It explains how to use the Character Map, and also covers the various quirks of Windows.
- I found one IPA keyboard layout for Windows. I cannot vouch for this thing, but if it works, that is by far the most efficient way of working with IPA fonts (see the next section on Macs).
Mac OS
The IPA-SIL keyboard layout
- These instructions should be current as of Mac OS 10.8x and 10.9x.
- I use the IPA-SIL keyboard layout, which I am providing it for download here since SIL is no longer distributing or supporting it. The zip file includes a PDF with more detailed documentation.
- The keyboard layout allows you to type in IPA without using “dead keys” (keystroke sequences that turn into a single character, for example, typing “i” and then “=” gives you “ɪ”). Ain’t nobody got time for that.
- Here is the workflow:
- hitting Cmd+Space switches the input method from English to IPA-SIL.
- Once in IPA-SIL mode, you can type normal lowercase Latin characters without doing anything.
- If you press the Shift key while typing s, i, f, d, t, q, n, you get ʃ, ɪ, ɤ, ɾ, ð, θ, æ, ŋ respectively (The keyboard map shows you which keys do what, though you do not need to use the keyboard map to enter the keys):
What your keyboard will type in IPA-SIL when “Shift” is depressed
- Pressing Alt+Shift accesses these:
- And Alt alone accesses these:
- For anything else, you can use the Character Viewer on Mac OS. Just open it from your Input Methods menu (which can be enabled from Settings>Keyboard).
Installing the IPA-SIL Keyboard
- There are more detailed instructions in the PDF inside the zip file linked above.
- The basic procedure is:
- put the IPA-SIL.keylayout file into Users/yourusername/Library/Keyboard Layouts. Put the IPA-SILicns icon file there as well.
- then enable the IPA-SIL keyboard by going to Settings>Language & Text > Input sources. Scroll down the long list of keyboards until you see IPA-SIL; if you don’t see it, you might need to restart the machine. Then check it.
- Check on “Show input menu in menu bar”.
- Mac OS likes to take away features, especially ones that allow you to customize the system. If you cannot see the Library folder inside your Users/yourusername directory, go to your favorite search engine and look for the solution that is specific to your version of Mac OS.
Linux
- The only method I was able to get going on Linux is ipa-x-sampa. It’s reasonably user-friendly and does not require a million steps that result in failure, like SIL’s Keyman thing. In order to use ipa-x-sampa, you need to enable IBus, and then
If that fails, there is also Character Map type thing that you can use.
- For some non-IPA characters that linguists use, it was suprisingly difficult to figure out how to enter them on Linux. The crucial bit (on Linux Mint, anyway, but probably others too) is to enable a “Compose Key” in your keyboard layout. Go to Preferences>Keyboard>Layouts, select “English (US)”, then Options, then find “Position of Compose Key”. I chose Caps Lock for mine. What this does is allow you to type various characters like é and ü by pressing the Compose Key together with ‘ or “, etc. A list of all the default key combinations enabled in Linux can be downloaded as a tab-separated text file here.
iOS and Android
- Go to your “App store” or whatever and search for “IPA keyboard”, or “IPA phonetics”.
This IPA keyboard allows you to type pronunciations of English words as they appear in English dictionaries. After you copy text from the above box and paste it into your word processor or e-mail message, make sure you choose a Unicode font with IPA symbols in your word processor or e-mail application. Otherwise, phonetic symbols may not display correctly. Looking for Mac fonts? Click to find the best 66 free fonts in the Mac style. Every font is free to download!
