Reviews: What People Think About IPA Phonetic Keyboard

Rating: 4/5

I love the layout and flexibility this has, I make conlangs and this allows me to do a lot of fun stuff on the go, and it accomodates a lot of characters and diacritics I haven’t had easy access to before. The one issue I have with it is no return key. I’ve looked and maybe I’ve missed something, but this makes the keyboard incredibly inconvenient for me. I have to switch layouts just to go to another line or type a ton of spaces. The addition of a return key would make this review five stars and I’d love this board forever. If this doesn’t bother you, then this is the IPA board you’re looking for.

I primarily use this for conlanging but it's great for lots of things. Super intuitive layout, super functional, etc. I have a suggestion though that would make it even better: since I imagine most of us use this app to transcribe mostly one language (at least at a time), be it real or a conlang, It would be nice if you could choose a subset of the characters to appear on a normal sized keyboard, for typing languages, since its unfortunately pretty slow to scroll thru all the characters you don't use for the few you do (which is definitely the only real way to make a keyboard w all the ipa on it and the best choice). If u could add a few options (for people working on a few langs at once) that would be sick too. Not sure how easy or possible that would b to implement but hope something can happen with it :)

ðɪsʰ æpsʰ ɡɻʷɛɪt It doesn't just focus on English phonemes -- you can actually type quite a lot and there are even functional diacritics. The app is very sleek and arranges the characters in a sensible manner. There are minimal labels which creates a small initial hurdle, but I appreciate the minimalism now that I am accustomed to the app. The only major criticism I have is that if you try to sandwich a consonant between two dental diacritics (to form an interdental), the app you are using may crash. You can use the advance symbol < ̟> to circumvent this in some cases, but it isn't immediately obvious how one would go about typing a bidental percussive.
