ASCII IPA is a way of expressing pronunciation on Usenet. It is a
version of the International Phonetic Alphabet, using only the ASCII
symbols (basic keyboard characters). There's a guide
to ASCII IPA,
including illustrative sound files, at

A detailed specification of the ASCII IPA transcriptions scheme,
including tables showing the mapping to and from IPA
characters,
can be found at
