How to use alphabet character to pronunciation American English?
Because I don't know how to key in the special IPA symbols in my Chinese computer keyboard.
I'm wonder is there a simple system just use 62 (A-Za-z0-9) or less for representation the IPA symbol? That means I don't need to key-in double dot above the u, etc.
For example the vowels(I'm trying to use a-z and dash for long vowels):
- a - box (for o)
- i - it
- i- - tea (for ea)
- oo - book
- oo- - too
- e - pen
- e_ - cat (for a)
- e- - name (for a)
- o - dog
- o- - no
- u - about (for a)
- u2 - bus (for u)
- uu - sister (for er)
- uu2 - bird (for ir)
- ai - fine (for i)
- au - how (for ow)
- oi - boy (for oy)
for consonants
- b - bad
- c - chair (for ch)
- d - desk
- f - food
- g - good
- g2 - garage (for ge)
- h - hat
- j - joke
- k - key
- l - leg
- m - mom
- n - noon
- n2 - sing (for ng)
- p - pet
- r - red
- s - seat
- s2 - short (for sh)
- t - ten
- t2 - thank (for th)
- t3 - this (for th)
- v - vest
- w - we
- y - yes
- z - zoo

There are any number of so-called "newspaper respelling" systems which attempt to represent pronunciation by analogy to simpler words or phonemes, avoiding the use of diacritical marks and non-Latin characters. A handful of standardized pronunciation respelling systems, in alphabetic order, include the following:
- Associated Press Stylebook (subscription required)
- ARPAbet
- BBC Text Spelling Guide
CMU Pronouncing Dictionary (based on ARPAbet)- NBC Handbook of Pronunciation
Voice of America Pronounce (for names)- Wikipedia Pronunciation Respelling Key
All of the above except the BBC system target General American pronunciation.
A basic flaw of all such systems is that they presuppose that the reader understands how the components of the respellings are pronounced in the reference accent. This would not be the case for a learner.

Of course, the same problem of understanding occurs, in truckloads, with IPA.
