Description

IPA Keyboard is the most comprehensive phonetic symbol keyboard around!

- Type IPA for US English for free.
- 300+ IPA extension, obsolete, and non-standard symbols can be unlocked via in-app purchase from the keyboard settings.

Apart from the enormous number of easily accessible symbols, IPA Keyboard has a bunch of other great features:

- Modern, material design theme; looks and feels great for typing.
- Characters are grouped by related shape or sound, so that all of the IPA symbols are easy to find.
- Tabbed keyboards for punctuation, diacritics, tones, and other symbols, separate from the main consonant & vowel keyboard and easy to navigate.
- Alternative symbols show right on the keys. Long-press to reveal. There is also a setting to hide the alternatives and reduce visual clutter.
- Five different keyboard layouts to choose from (QWERTY, AZERTY, Dvorak, Colemak, and a custom phonetic ordering based on the IPA chart).

Great for learners!

IPA Keyboard is the only keyboard that includes a full symbol reference built in. Simply enable the Hint Bar in the app preferences. Tap on any key to reveal the phonetic description of the symbol.

If you would like to support development of IPA Keyboard or my future projects, please consider unlocking the full version!

Please note:

We do not collect any user data. We do not transmit, store, or otherwise have any knowledge about what you type into the keyboard. We do not run ads, and we do not share any data with any third parties. In other words, we do not have any revenue stream other than the in-app purchase to unlock all symbols. If you would like a free keyboard that shares data and displays advertisements, please look elsewhere. In our view, if you are not paying for the product, you are the product!

v1.1.4

Ho accettato di pagare. Fa quello che deve fare, ha un buon numero di simboli ed è utile. La gente dovrebbe smetterla di abusare delle recensioni negative. E comunque avevo già usato la versione gratuita con soddisfazione. Metto quattro stelle solo perché mi piacerebbe una veste grafica un po' più moderna e gradevole , ma per il resto l'applicazione è ottima!

The keyboard is cool but do you really expect i pay 5€ just for some copypastable characters? Absolutely not

I see a lot of people complaining about the fact that they can't type a thing. Actually, you can type things like affricates by using the two phonemes that make up that affricate (e.g. t plus ʃ equals tʃ/ʧ). If you want an easier way for typing you reasonably need to buy the Pro version. I give for stars because typing is not that agile.

v1.0.14

Quite good and complete... although you have to pay in order to be allowed to type affricates (which are quite common in many languages and therefore should definitely be free IMHO). I understand the fact that the most uncommon / narrow transcription symbols are locked, but affricates shouldn't be...
