Well, ASCII IPA is easily typable, but it might not be suitable for
the applications you mention. It's worth taking a look, though:

Thanks, but I was thinking of something that one could write an essay

Please make your query clearer. You can't do what you want with these

Well it looks a bit ugly, doesn't it?

Let's say you're writing a folksong in your native dialect, that
foreigners aren't familiar with, but you want them to know what it
sounds like.

I'm thinking of something that looks like a language's own normal
spelling system, but happens to be comprehensive enough to transcribe
a wide range of languages.
