Re: [gnuspeech-contact] IPA vs gnuspeech phonetic alphabet

[Marcelo Y. Matuda]

Hi Paul,

A converter from IPA to Gnuspeech symbols would not be difficult to 
write. But Gnuspeech mixes phonemes with control codes, you would still 
need to enter these control codes, for example "/c" and "/w".

When you use IPA you need a virtual keyboard to enter the symbols. With 
X-SAMPA or the original Gnuspeech symbols, we can use a normal keyboard.
