It might be reimplemented though (I don't understand if you're volunteering or just asking )

I mean, we have g circumflex.

Me. I use Aszev's X-SAMPA converter on aveneca.com for all my IPA needs, but I was thinking others here could find such a converter and other converters useful?

I just use the keyboard or (on a certain other forum) this.

Exactly. As I said, fluid. No need to search for and click the character I need on the screen, or revert to flip-phone style character selection. I just type and let the converter make it pretty.vijayjohn wrote:So what appeals to y'all about X-SAMPA? Just the fact that it uses ASCII characters or what?

Which layout if that? I just have "Hebrew" and "Hebrew (Standard)" on my machine natively. (Win 10)
