I don’t mean IPA symbols (which I can’t read) but rather characters from a normal alphabet being used to phoneticise a word, e.g. excerpt is pronounced “[EK] + [SURPT]”. What would this be called? Letter-based phoneticisation?

Do you want to learn the IPA? It’s not very difficult.

The IPA is a lot more efficient in that regard! It’s international so it’s valid for all languages, whereas phonetic spelling is easier to learn but changes from language to language.
