company-flx seems to be required.

This is really a great idea, I'm usually futzing with the X-Sampa input method...

Unfortunately, it seems to have a hard dependency on company-flx, because without it, it doesn't really work. I get list of completion candidates that I can scroll through, but typing part of the name does not narrow the list of candidates.

I don't know enough about company to know if it can be made to work without company-flx, but if not, you should probably mention this in the README.

The alternative to using company-flx is having to type the exact name of the candidate, which I find super unpractical. Not sure what the solution would be. Do you have any ideas? BTW, this is now in melpa and the offical repo is over in gitlab. I'll keep this as a mirrow and update it soon.

I agree it's much more practical with flx, but an alternative without it would be if similar characters start with the same substring. Then you can use TAB to narrow the list of candidates and M-n / M-p to get to the desired symbol once the list is sufficiently small. Currently, that's not possible because the candidate strings have spaces in them.

I'm not sure it's worth the trouble, though. If you'd accept a PR, I might look into it some time next week.

Yeah, I learnt about the package when I updated my package list. :-)

Sure, but please use the gitlab repo: https://gitlab.com/mguzmann89/company-ipa/
