This website explores the use of javaScript to add interactivity to language learning materials. The main advantage of javascript is that it can be used to add a lot of interactivity yet web pages are still relatively small and fast to load. In addition no plug-ins need to be downloaded and installed.
Phonemic Typewriter – US English
January 11, 2005 on 8:23 pm | In JavaScript: Phonetic Transcription | Comments OffI have created a version of the Phonemic Script Typewriter for US English.
Because of the different vowel sounds, I have had to use a different keyboard layout. I would be grateful for comments about how this can be improved.
I have also chosen not to use the rhoticized schwa (the one with the little hook) and I would also be glad to hear whether this is a good thing or not.
The link for this tool is http://mackichan.e-lang.co.uk/call/pronus/type.html.
Phonemic Typewriter Updated
January 11, 2005 on 8:10 pm | In JavaScript: Phonetic Transcription | Comments OffThe Phonemic Typewriter has been updated. I have changed the keyboard so that it uses buttons rather than graphics, which should make it faster to load.
I have also added a couple of links to the help page: a new Unicode font, and another web based tool for generating code for using IPA symbols in web pages.
The link for the typewriter is unchanged: http://mackichan.e-lang.co.uk/call/pron/type.html.
I would be very grateful for feedback.
