IPA Keyboard
A phonetic-symbol palette for composing IPA transcription with editable language layouts.
Useful when you know the target sounds and need to enter their symbols.
Click-to-compose and physical-key assignments reduce hunting for unusual characters.
Keep in mind: It does not automatically transcribe audio, teach pronunciation or validate a phonetic analysis. Keyboard mode is described inside the app, not as a universal system input source.
