Pete » JavaScript: Phonetic Transcription http://mackichan.e-lang.co.uk 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.

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.

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.
