I2speak.com: Web-based IPA Keyboard
The Sciweavers Team announces http://www.i2speak.com: “an online Smart IPA Keyboard that lets you quickly type IPA phonetics without the need to memorize any symbol code. For every Roman character you type, a popup menu displays a group of phonetic symbols that share the same sound or shape beneath typed character. Use arrow keys to select the proper symbol then hit the Enter button. I2Speak also supports the following features:
1. The Sampa English Keyboard lets you type English phonetics using Roman characters according to SAMPA (Speech Assessment Methods Phonetic Alphabet) rules.
2. The IPA English Keyboard provides you with a full English phonetics keyboard. Press the symbol of interest using a suitable input device.
3. You can type directly on your physical keyboard or on the virtual on-screen keyboard using a suitable input device such as mouse or touch screen device.
4. You can change the keyboard symbols by selecting another layout from the list box located above the virtual keyboard.
5. For every keyboard layout, more symbols can be displayed by pressing the CAPS Lock.
6. When you hover the mouse over an English phonetic button, a slick tooltip will show some example English words.
7. You can save typed phonetics as an MS-Word file by clicking the Save button, copy them to clipboard using the Copy button, or post them to Twitter, Facebook, etc. by clicking the desired button.”
How to identify graded participants in Moodle Course Activity Reports using Vlookup

- The Moodle “Participants” affords the instructor a convenient list, with paging, sort, filter (by role), and different detail-level views.
- However, the overview does link course and student id #, but not institutional username while the detail view contain the username as part of the email, but is not truly tabular (consists of an array of tables, each containing one user; at least you can avoid the paging).
- Enter grepwin to extract the emails:
- and copy paste them into the Excel created from the tabular overview:

Farsi phonetic input using Behnevis
- Behnevis.com (web form or downloadable Google Chrome browser toolbar) offers transliteration of phonetic input in Roman letters into Farsi and is said to be on a par with Google translate (which offers no toolbar) and MS-UIME (which has no toolbar, but can be installed in your browser to alter any web page for users lacking a physical Farsi keyboard (or overlay).
