(Of course, if your paper is on, say, Estonian, you'll want exactly the opposite.)Ī working solution for this kind of problem is to create your own custom keyboard layout via the Microsoft's free keyboard layout creator. For example if you are writing a paper on English phonology, you'll need to be easily typable, but you can just copy-paste if you need it. On the other hand, I'd think that most people need most of IPA very rarely, but use a subset of it constantly. Just look for example at the IPA vowel diagram, and try to write down yourself which sequences of keys should give which output, or do the same for all of the diacritics. When you think about it, easily typing the entirety of IPA is a tall order.

There is also an Android app though it is described as a "proof of concept" and I haven't personally tested it very thoroughly. If you just want a better web-based soft keyboard, I think Richard Ishida's is amazing, others I work with prefer Weston Ruter's because it resembles the official IPA chart. On Linux at least, there are a few applications where the keyboard doesn't work (e.g., Atom text editor I think the problem is with Atom and not the IPA keyboard but I haven't tried to debug the issue).

To the operating system, it looks like any other IME for entering Chinese characters, Devanagari script, etc., so you access it through the "language bar" on Windows and corresponding language-switcher-type interfaces on other platforms. I have used them on both Linux and Windows. Like any input method for typing outside of ASCII, it takes an investment of time to learn the keystroke sequences, but in my opinion it is far more efficient than websites with soft keyboards when you need to enter a lot of IPA. You can have a Unicode layout listed in your input menu, and can use it with other applications, but you must use a Roman encoded KB layout with AppleWorks.The SIL keyboards that you linked to are indeed the best of breed. Attempting to enter text using a Unicode keyboard layout will cause AppleWorks to immediately crash. *AppleWorks users note: AppleWorks cannot recognize or use characters using Unicode encoding, and characters ooutside the standard Roman set cannot be dragged into an AppleWorks document. You can drag and drop these characters from the palette into a word processor document.* Ŋ is character #406, ŋ is #407. Keyboard viewer will show you the characters available directly from the keyboard, using the letter, symbol and number keys and using these keys and one or more of the modifier keys (shift, option, commant and ctrl).Ĭharacter Palette will show all of the characters available in the selected palette.

You're correct in assuming this may not be exactly the right place to post this question, but I sympathise with the difficulty you experienced in finding a 'right place.'
