How does the copy pad work?
AccentPad runs in the browser with no install and no sign-in: one tap copies a letter, and the compose box turns taps into whole words.
- Tap a letter. It is copied to the clipboard. Each letter group above shows its lowercase letters and, in a second row, their capitals.
- Build a word. Each letter you tap also goes into the compose box at the top of the page. That way you can build a whole word such as café or naïve.
- Copy all. Copy all copies the whole word at once, ready to paste.
- Come back. The letters you copied last stay at hand under the box on your next visit.
How do you type accents without copying them?
Phones and computers have built-in ways to type accented letters. AccentPad's letter pages spell them out for each letter and link to the vendor's own documentation:
- iPhone and Android For common letters such as é, ü and ñ, touch and hold the plain letter, then slide to the accent. éTouch and hold E, then slide to é
- Mac For common letters, press Option with a mark key, then the letter, or hold the letter down for a menu. For any other letter, open the Character Viewer with Fn/Globe+E and search for its name. Every mark's keys are in one table on how to type accents on a Mac. éOption+E, then E
- Windows Hold Alt and type the letter's code on the number pad where it has one. For any other letter, use the Word method below or copy it here. Every Alt code, mark by mark, is on how to type accents on Windows. éAlt+0233
- Microsoft Word For the letters in Microsoft's accent table, press Ctrl with the mark's own key, then the letter. For any other letter, such as one with a macron, type the Unicode code and press Alt+X. Every Word method is in one table on how to add accents in Word. éCtrl+', then E
- Google Docs Open Insert, then Symbols, then Special characters, and search for the letter's name or its code point. The dialog, step by step with screenshots, is on how to type accents in Google Docs. éInsert, then Symbols, then Special characters, then search "latin small letter e with acute"
- Chromebook For the letters Google's help page lists, switch to the US International keyboard and type the mark before the letter. Setting that keyboard up takes a few clicks, shown on how to type accents on a Chromebook. éSwitch to the US International keyboard, then ', then E
Start with E with accent: é, è, ê, ë and ē, with every shortcut, the languages that use each one and how they sound. For the marks themselves, what each is called, which languages write it and which ones make a letter of their own, see Diacritics.
To write whole sentences in Spanish, the Spanish keyboard types ñ, the accented vowels and the opening ¿ and ¡ in one box, then copies the text in one go.
For the Spanish words whose meaning hangs on the accent, tú or tu, qué or que, está or esta, see Spanish words with accents.
Frequently asked questions
What are accent marks?
Accent marks, also called diacritics, are the small signs added to a letter. Examples are the acute in é, the tilde in ñ, the cedilla in ç and the two dots in ü. A letter with an accent is a different character from the plain letter, so it has to be typed or copied as itself.
How do I copy a letter with an accent?
Tap its tile on AccentPad and the letter is on your clipboard; a short message confirms the copy. Every letter group shows its capitals in a second row. Each letter you tap also lands in the compose box under the first row of letters. Build a word like café there and copy it with Copy all.
How do I type accented letters on a phone?
On iPhone, and on Android with Gboard, touch and hold the plain letter on the on-screen keyboard. Slide to the accented version and lift your finger. Turn on Shift first for a capital. AccentPad's letter pages list the phone method next to the computer shortcuts.
Does AccentPad use cookies or track visitors?
No. AccentPad sets no cookies and loads no analytics script. The letters you copied last are kept in your own browser's local storage, and they never leave your device.
