What do you do when you need to write down a phonetic transcription?

The PhoTransEdit website not only provides a phonetic keyboard, but also provides an automatic phonemic transcription service.

For free.

On-line.

If you'd rather work offline, it allows you to download the program, which has more features than the online version, such as finding rhyming words and sound wildcards.

Take a peek at this example:

"Furthermore, it can only transcribe those words that are found in its database. If they aren't there, you can help by adding them to it."
