It is useful for those who study phonetics and linguistics because it allows verbal phonemes to be recorded upon paper and categorised accordingly.
It is also convenient as a guide for correct pronunciation, because each character represents a sound; therefore, the reader may utter the sound straight-away, rather than having to process the possible pronunciations.
