'''TIPA''' is a [[free software]] package providing [[International Phonetic Alphabet]] and other [[phonetic notation|phonetic character]] capabilities for [[TeX]] and [[LaTeX]]. Written by {{nihongo|Rei Fukui|[[:ja:福井玲|福井玲]]|Fukui Rei}}, TIPA is based upon the author's previous work in TSIPA.{{clarification needed|date=October 2021}} In 2018, the TeX TIPA Roman font was selected as best representing the IPA symbol set by the [[International Phonetic Association]]'s Alphabet, Charts and Fonts committee.<ref>{{cite web|author=International Phonetic Association|year=2018|url=https://www.internationalphoneticassociation.org/IPAcharts/IPA_charts_2018.html|title=IPA charts and sub-charts in four fonts|access-date=19 May 2018}}</ref>

TIPA characters are placed within a LaTeX document using any of the following ways: <syntaxhighlight lang="latex" inline>\textipa{...}</syntaxhighlight>, <syntaxhighlight lang="latex" inline>{\tipaencoding ...}</syntaxhighlight>, or <syntaxhighlight lang="latex" inline>\begin{IPA} ... \end{IPA}</syntaxhighlight>.

TIPA supports many<!--not all are even listed in the manual--> of the symbols in the ''[[Phonetic Symbol Guide]]'' (though macros are sometimes required) as well as a few idiosyncratic ones, such as a small-capital {{IPA|ꞯ}} and an {{IPA|l&ndash;ɾ}} ligature {{IPA|𝼑}}.
