Overview

About

Maintained by Yongfu LiaoFirst published 2018-09-303 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Provides 'Shiny gadgets' to search, type, and insert IPA symbols into documents or scripts, requiring only knowledge about phonetics or 'X-SAMPA'. Also provides functions to facilitate the rendering of IPA symbols in 'LaTeX' and PDF format, making IPA symbols properly rendered in all output formats.
