It is a copy of the SIL MSKLC keyboard for Windows, adapted for Macintosh. How to type IPA How to type IPA There are a few ways to type IPA characters, depending on your operating system. Most of the information here is taken directly from SIL's resources on typing Phonetic Characters, found here: Windows One of the easiest ways is with a program called Keyman, which allows key combination to type characters. For instance, typing a yields a. Yet if you type a followed by =, you get ɑ. A yields ɐ, etc. There is a free older version of, currently unsupported, but it still allows you to type phonetic characters into any program which supports UTF8 input. Once you install the program, you need the associated keyboard to type the characters, which can be found here: Note that this free version only works on XP and older systems, so if you use Vista, you will need to purchase Keyman at A pdf chart of where the characters may be found can also be download separately, here: Another option is to use the IPA FreeKey Keyboard. The Free Keyboard System is based on “AutoHotkey” ( ) which is an open source project, therefore it can be used and distributed free of charge. This documentation file is a part of the IPA FreeKey package, but is available as a separate download in case you wish to read about it before installing the package. There is also an installable keyboard for windows using SAMPA encodings, found here: Linux It is easy to type phonetic characters on a linux-based operating system via KMFL. () KMFL is an open-source equivalent to Keyman, and allows multiple language input and support. It is based on the SCIM platform. For Ubuntu and other Debian users, a debian package which installs everything directly can be found here: This will also install SCIM if it is not already installed, and is the easiest method for installing KMFL and the IPA keyboard directly. For non-Debian based OS's, first install SCIM and KMFL. Afterwards you will need the source files for the keyboard mapping, which can be found here: The keystrokes are identical to that of the Keyman keyboard, so you can use the from above to see whare are the key combinations for each character. Macs Unfortunately there is no KMFL equivalent for Macs that I am aware of. Here are some other options to type IPA.

Myspace Keyboard LayoutsCapslock, Option While this is identical to Apple’s U.S. Extended keyboard layout (except for the ² deadkey), a significantly higher number of combos has been added. Also, they can be combined with each other. For instance, when you first hit the macron deadkey ˉ ( ⌥+ A) and then the acute deadkey ´ ( ⌥+ E), the next character will have both a macron and an acute. Hitting Space after any diacritcs deadkey produces the combining character of that diacritic. Hitting ⇧+ Space produces the corresponding spacing character. Capslock, Option + Shift While this is identical to Apple’s U.S. Extended keyboard layout (except for the ³ deadkey), the multiple purpose deadkeys № and ʔ have been added many additional characters. Example: Pressing the multiple purpose deadkey ʔ ( ⌥+ ⇧+.) followed by v (alternatively, the option deadkey ⌥ followed by ⇧+. Followed by v) will produce ‹ʋ› (U+028B, LATIN SMALL LETTER V WITH HOOK). Alternative Keyboard LayoutsAnother example: Pressing the multiple purpose deadkey № ( ⌥+ ⇧+;) followed by ⌥+ ⇧+ ' (alternatively, the option deadkey ⌥ followed by ⇧+; followed by the option deadkey ⌥ followed by ⇧+ ') will produce ‹ˌ› (U+02CC, MODIFIER LETTER LOW VERTICAL LINE).
