The invention provides an international phonetic alphabet (IPA) automatic recording method. According to the method, an IPA automatic recording system is adopted. The system mainly comprises an IPA word library, a screen word-selecting module, a visual basic for application (VBA) phonetic alphabet automatic input module and an IPA character auto text solidification script library module, wherein the screen word-selecting module acquires screen word-selecting information including phonetic alphabets by means of a screen word-selecting function of a general electronic dictionary; a VBA program is started by a keyboard device according to a set shortcut key; the VBA phonetic alphabet automatic input module acquires phonetic alphabet characters according to the screen word-selecting information of the electronic dictionary; and the solidified phonetic alphabets corresponding to the IPA character auto text solidification script library module are input gradually according to each phonetic alphabet character information in a word document in a mode of an auto text. By the method provided by the invention, the problem of automatic and fast input of IPA characters in the computer is solved, and the input IPA characters cannot be changed into messy codes due to the change of a font.
