US Academic

US Academic is a fantastic keyboard layout for MAC OS X designed for those in academia or those requiring extended character access. With this layout, users can seamlessly access almost all the characters defined as Extended Roman and IPA. The disk image comes equipped with the generic US qwerty-based US Academic, which is also a part of the Romanian Academic disk image (RO-US Academic).

This layout is an excellent replacement for the default Apple multinational keyboard layout, U.S. Extended, included in MAC OS X. US Academic provides access to all the characters defined in the Latin -1 Supplement, Latin Extended-A, Latin Exended-B, Latin Extended Additional, IPA Extensions, and Combining Diacritical Marks (CDM).

Navigating this layout is easy even for those unfamiliar with keyboard layouts, as the key combinations are straightforward to remember. US Academic also allows for the inclusion of practically all the possible diacritical marks and specific characters for linguistic and phonetic use. Overall, US Academic is an essential tool for anyone needing extensive character access or frequently using linguistic and phonetic characters.
