IPATypist 

IPATypist is a simply utility program to type IPA characters for English. You need to have Doulos SIL font installed on your Mac. 

TextExtractor

TextExtractor is another experimental utility program that has functions of PtoTconvUtil, WtoTconvUtil, and jparser.  This is still at very early stage of development, so it might have many bugs.  Also this is not tested on a Mac that do not have MeCab + MeCab-Ruby, so if your machine doesn't have them, this might not run at all.
