Why developing
In 2011, I learned English and Chinese(Taiwanese), understand the importance of pronunciation.
From there, I’m interested in IPA. IPA characters had been difficult to input and write in PC,
and I had dissatisfaction to input IPA characters in PC.
I wanted to have an easy way to input IPA, conceived the screen keyboards like this and implemented proto-type in that time.
I knew relations between unicode and fonts a little. Fonts were not enhanced and implemented.
There were many thing to think and I didn’t have the place of release and degree of completion was low.
These things made me not to release IPA screen keyboard, and bothered me, at last I forget these things.
Now, I know VSTO (office add-in developing tool) and my skill has been glowing up. I have the place for release.
I recall this keyboard when I research relations between unicode ( New ver. ) and font.
I can easily implement this keyboard to Office by VSTO and release it at v 1.0.0.0 for Japan.
This keyboard is not perfect but it’s useful for IPA and pronunciation study.
I update it Ver 1.1.0.0.
