The International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) is a power tool for transcribing the wide range sounds spoken by human beings. The Complete IPA Keyboard includes all the IPA symbols as published by the International Phonetic Association, as well as many other commonly used phonetic symbols. A great tool for linguists, speech pathologist, foreign language teachers & learners, accent coaches, and anyone else who regularly uses the IPA.

Any combination of phonetics symbols is possible using the Complete IPA Keyboard. However, language specific keyboards have been created which include commonly occurring symbol combinations. For example, the German Phonetic Keyboard includes long vowels, such as /ɑː/, /eː/, /iː/. The Russian Phonetic Keyboard (Cyrillic) includes palatalized consonants, such as /bʲ/, /dʲ/,/fʲ/, etc.
