Phonetic symbols

To draw phonetic symbols in the Picture window or in the TextGridEditor, make sure that you have installed the Charis and/or Doulos SIL font, for instance from `sil.org` or from `praat.org`. You can either type the symbols directly (if your computer has an input method for them), or use backslash trigraphs as described in:

  • Phonetic symbols: consonants
  • Phonetic symbols: vowels
  • Phonetic symbols: diacritics
