PhonetiKey 4+

Did I miss something? I am dismayed to see that there are only individual phonetic letters here. No diacritic marks, no combined letters written as diphthongs. For my purposes, a waste of money. Looks like a perfectly acceptable app for some uses, but really, there should be a better way of seeing what it has and how it works before buying!

This is very helpful for my linguistics homework. Just to clarify, in light of some of the other reviews. This is NOT a keyboard for the Spanish alphabet or the Russian alphabet or whichever one you want. The IPA is a seperate alphabet used to transcribe the sounds of human language with a single corresponding symbol. It’s similar to the pronounciations you would find in a dictionary. If you don’t know what the IPA is, then you probably don’t need this app.

I have been going nuts trying to figure out how to type IPA on my Mac. I just downloaded this and it is exactly what I needed! I just type out what I want in the app, and then copy and paste it into a document to turn in for phonetics class. I can’t tell you how much time and frustration this app is saving me!
