Type IPA phonetic symbols for English

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 will not display correctly.
• A few rarely used symbols, such as the syllabic l and n (l or n with a small vertical line underneath) are missing because they are not rendered correctly by presently available browsers.
• The goal of the keyboard is to provide a way to enter IPA-based phonemic transcriptions, therefore more arcane symbols used in "narrow" transcriptions are not included.
• For help with transcribing, refer to Antimoon's chart with IPA phonetic symbols, example words, and recordings (make sure you read the footnotes).
• The keyboard provides two italicized symbols:
  • ɪ (italicized ɪ) can be used to indicate that either ɪ or ə can be pronounced, as in possible.
  • ʊ (italicized ʊ) can be used to indicate that either ʊ or ə can be pronounced, as in education.
