The canIPA vocoid system

Luciano Canepari (Italian pronunciation: [luˈtʃaːno kaneˈpaːri];[1][2] born 19 January 1947) is an Italian linguist. Canepari was a professor in the Department of Linguistics at the University of Venice, where he received his academic training.

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]
