Writing phonetic transcriptions

Adding Phonetic Symbols to a Webpage

TypeIt.org is a handy tool that allows you to add phonetic symbols to a webpage. It doesn't just have the ones for English, but has a few other languages too. Seems like you just type in the consonants from the keyboard and click on the additional symbols to add them. Then just cut and paste the script into your page.

 

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 may not display correctly.

Recommended IPA fonts available on various platforms:

Windows XP: Lucida Sans Unicode
