He developed a phonetic transcription system called canIPA [kaˈniːpa],[3] based on the official IPA. The canIPA consists of 500 basic, 300 complementary and 200 supplementary symbols, a few of which are encoded in Unicode. It is a work in progress, intended to permit the transcription of all world languages in more exact detail than the official IPA. It has seen little use apart from its inventor[4] or his co-authors.[5]
He has also published a number of workbooks and recordings used in connection with these books.
