Type IPA phonetic symbols - online keyboard

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
This IPA keyboard allows you to type pronunciations of English words as they appear in major English dictionaries from publishers like Longman, Oxford, etc. Dictionary transcriptions are "phonemic transcriptions". They only give you the broad-strokes view of the pronunciation - just enough to make sure you won't confuse two different words.

For example, if you want a Voiced Alveolar Plosive, select each from the three drop down buttons to reveal the matching phone (in this case, a [ d ]).

You can also press the 'Play' button to hear the phone (sound).

Use this to practice your VMP - can you say the phone and then does it match the one revealed by the three filter buttons?

IPA transcription of children, young people and adults with Speech sound Disorder (SSD) requires 'live' on the spot transcription using a pen and paper (or possibly an iPad and Apple Pencil or similar tablet and stylus set up). It's not currently possible to type quickly enough using the specialist IPA symbols to capture utterances from a client. In addition, many online case note storage systems cannot deal with specialised IPA fonts and symbols.

It is better's therefore to transcribe live and by hand, and upload a PDF or image of the recording form(s).

It is possible that Artificial Intelligence (AI) may be able to transcribe in the future. However, with training of AI largely undertaken using less experienced transcribers (such as Speech and Language Therapy students), this may not be as reliable as professional transcribers.

Introduction

Welcome to our interactive website for Speech and Language Therapy teaching! We offer a visual approach to learning about speech articulation and speech disorders. STAR provides teachers and students of Speech and Language Therapy with real-time ultrasound tongue imaging (UTI) and lip video of speech, real-time magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) video of speech, and 2D midsagittal-head speech animations based on real-time MRI recordings.

The website resources:

Introductory materials - an introduction to UTI and MRI vocal tract imaging techniques and information about the production of the articulatory animations.

Interactive charts linking to UTI video, MRI video and MRI-based vocal-tract animation:

UTI and lip camera databases:

Non-disordered speech database

Child speech disorder database

Child speech-error database

Central Scottish Phonetic features - a set of integrated UTI and lip-camera videos showing examples of phonetic variation in Central Scottish child speech.

Creation of this resource

STAR is the product of a collaboration between researchers at three Scottish Universities: the University of Glasgow, the University of Strathclyde and Queen Margaret University Edinburgh, and is funded by the Economic and Social Research Council's (ESRC) Secondary Data Analysis Initiative (SDAI). It includes material collected with funding from the ESRC, EPSRC, AHRC, CSO, Carnegie Trust for the Universities of Scotland, Action Medical Research and the Royal Society of Edinburgh.
