Phonetic Keyboard English BETA

This is a proof of concept: an attempt to create a keyboard for writing phonetic transcriptions of English words using the IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet).
I've developed it in my spare time because some people showed interested in it. It works in my device in the applications I have tested it. However, I don't know if it will work in your device. It will depend on the application you are using and the font that the application chooses, which I can't control; if the font doesn't have the phonetic symbols, there's nothing I can do.

Let me know what you think by emailing me at [email protected].

This is the keyboard I was looking for. It works very well, thanks for the hard work. But I'd like to share something with you. I think it'd be better to have the 'delete' button at the upper-right corner or near there instead of lower-right corner. Also double window system can be used instead of extended one. Extended window needs more works of fingers and they get tired easily. I hope you'll consider these. Waiting for the next update. Thanks.

it works with all the apps I've tried it with, but it doesn't have the full ipa symbology. using the same techniques of the rɹ key, they could all be available without expanding the keyboard itself, or it could use an alternate screen to do it, but it isn't complete!

Was really excited to use, but it said app collects the typed data and may be able to collect personal information like typed passwords, credit card numbers etc. THEN it told me the only way to use it would be by restarting my phone and unlocking it? Forget that noise. 👎

I am quite happy with this keyboard, except it lacks a character for the "ng" sound in English "sing" which is an actual phoneme requiring representation. I hoped this KB would have the characters found in any English dictionary.

It's good but it lacks so much on IPA vowels and definitely consonants, personally I wouldn't use for typing but more searching of pronounciation, a customisation and hopefully more IPA symbols will be great the future. Overall 3 starsm

Great app, but missing some sounds! Namely I've noticed there's no ɛ (just ɜ which is a different sound) and no r-colored vowels

Wonderful and useful app. But I would prefer normal keyboard symbols are added to avoid switching keyboards from phonetics to normal... Thanks anyway.

The app works perfectly fine. However, as of now, there are a lot of missing letters and symbols that I wish to use. Looking forward for updates.

It didn't have a lot of phonetics I needed, and had a lot not used in English words. Besides, it wasn't user friendly. No guide on how to add it to your keyboard

ˈgreɪt fər ˈɪŋɡlɪʃ fəˈnetɪk trænˈskrɪpʃən. However, since this keyboard is more of help to linguists, I think it would be great if other/some more IPA symbols could be added too.

This isn't a "phonetic" app, but rather a "phonemic" keyboard, as if you type "pun" and "spun", this app uses the phonemes /pʌn/ and /spʌn/, instead of [pʰʌn] and /spʌn/

This app is great! In fact, it contains all the speech sounds that are present in the English language.

Good work! It helps me when I write my English Vocabulary! Keep up the good work and please do some updates in the future! 🤗

Excelente app. It does what it promess and it Includes all the English IPA phonetics. PS try to Include allophones. :D

Works, but ‹ɛ› "DRESS" is missing along with some more marginal ones like ‹c› "huge", ‹ʔ› "uh-oh", ‹ɾ› American "butter", ‹ʋ› "Rossy"

æʌæ ʌ ʒ k ɔ ɑ ɒʒdʒ ʌ ærθ ð. The symbols says it all. I wanted to give this app a 1000 stars, but only 5 stars are available. It mends my heart where other apps had broken it. I love this. May Jehovah God bless you. Can't wait to share it. Thanks!

It would be better for you to set the fonts to Times Roman instead of Arial.

Really helpful. Worth keeping. Keep it up!!

Best app to improve english pronunciation..i could not find any app better than this..

Soc. I. Nov 25, 2019     

How could I have been missing out on this? I'm so grateful for the addition of this particular app, here. Before now, I copied and pasted phonemes because I couldn't do better. Cheers.

I so too glad by joining your helpful application, thank you for your good effort.

Unfortunately, I didn't see the glotal stop symbol on the keyboard.
