IPA (International Phonetics Alphabet) Keyboard available?

I notice on my IPAD 2 that I can change the keyboard languages to a multitude of languages (e.g. Chinese, Korean, etc.). I am looking for an IPA (International Phonetics Alphabet) keyboard that I could download and use regularly as a virtual (or physical if their is one) keyboard. Does anyone know if such a keyboard does exist?

I do have Microsoft word on my Ipad and I know there is a way to pull it up somehow within the Microsoft Word program usually. I am unaware if I can do the same within the app.

I notice that a couple other have asked about an IPA keyboard awhile ago and no response was given to them. I am hoping that with time the problem has potentially been resolved.

Sincerely,

William

iPad 2, iOS 7.1.2

There's now a new one. Phonetic Keyboards. A free version with a select set of IPA symbols. The IPA symbols are placed within a standard iOS keyboard layout. There are language specific keyboards; each has only the IPA symbols generally used to transcribe sounds found in that language.

Phonetic Keyboard Lite (Free), Complete IPA, English, French (AZERTY & QWERTY), German, Italian, Russian, Spanish

Enjoy!!!

Under the current version of iOS, there are no downloadable keyboards.

what you see in settings is it.

under the upcoming iOS 8, downloadable keyboards are on the feature list.

you will have to wait and see what happens in the coming months.

Search the app store for IPA. Try the Keyman app in particular.

Until iOS 8 comes out, all such keyboards essentially have to operate via copy/paste.
