X-SAMPA - John Wells writes, "[X-SAMPA is] a proposed keyboard-compatible coding for the entire set of IPA symbols: It covers everything on the 1993 IPA Chart, including diacritics and tone marks, and is put forward as a proposed standard way to transmit IPA-transcribed material by e-mail and for similar purposes."

X-Sampa-IPA keyboard - With this tool, you can enter X-SAMPA quite near to the standard with your usual keyboard. Note that because I am a native speaker of German, the keyboard layout follows the German QUERTZ layout. The documentation contained in the ZIP file is in German and in English. This keyboard layout does (unfortunately) only run on Windows 2000/XP. In order to write something that makes sense you also need an IPA capable font such as Arial Unicode MS, Lucida Sans Unicode, Gentium, Doulos SIL or Code2001. Also note that this keyboard file is presumably still not free of bugs.
