It is required an Unicode Font, as "Arial Unicode MS" or "Lucida Sans Unicode" and that font must be selected in the menu Instruments > Phonetic Font.
It may also be used one of the Unicode Font of the SIL ("Charis SIL", "Doulos SIL" o "Gentium") freely distributed under the "SIL Open Font License", downloadable from the site  http://scripts.sil.org/IPAhome (in particular we suggest to use the "Charis SIL" font). For phonetic transcriptions the program may also use the old "SILDoulos IPA93" font, a non Unicode font whose use is discouraged by the SIL.

You can choose one of the several virtual keyboards supplied in the menus and use it with the mouse.

You may save the transcribed text on a rtf file (in the menu File > Save Rtf file), readable and modifiable also with Word or other word processors.

To copy the text on Word or other word processors:
1 - select the text with the mouse;
2 - click on the menu Edit > Copy (or type CTRL-C);
3 - paste the text on Word;
4 - select with the mouse the text pasted on Word and choose the same font.
