No Custom Software. Just a new keyboard layout for Windows & Mac OS. Optimized for typing with vowels.
I'm just trying to learn MSA, not a specific dialect. Windows 10 will automatically add a layout based on your region settings but if you want, you can add additional keyboard layouts. The Windows On-Screen Keyboard also displays the available combinations. It just won't map exactly to what's available on a built-in Arabic Mac keyboard.

In all cases all Arabic letters and diacritics would be present on the Keyboard in any case! It is quite simple and intuitive. The first and most obvious is that a Mac keyboard doesn't have a Windows key. More accurately, it doesn't have a key with the Windows symbol on it, but the one marked command or cmd acts as one.

How it works
Arabic Phonetic Keyboard Layout uses the Windows built-in Language and Keyboard feature to introduce a new Keyboard for the Arabic (Saudi Arabia) Language. Once you run the installer and reboot, you will notice a new keyboard is added to the language list.
The keyboard Layout is created using Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator.
You can download the Keyboard Layout file and customize it as you like.
How is it better than others?
It uses the research done by the Intellaren group to make most frequently pressed keys easily accessible through regular keys, without pressing Shift or AltGr (Ctrl+Alt).
Most forms of Alif and Hamza are easily accessible. Press A for ا, Shift A for أ, P for ٱ, Shift P for آ, G for ء
Other keys are Phonetic. For ex, S for س, Shift S for ش, D for د, Shift D for ض, J for ذ, Shift J for ج
Optimized for typing Vowels.
- Step 1: Extract the zip file. Run the setup.exe file from the extracted folder, not from the zip file. Do not open the zip file and run the setup.exe from inside the zip file.
- Step 2: Reboot. Important, without this you don't always see the new Arabic Language and the keyboard appearing in next step.
- Step 3: You will see a new Language is added in the language bar. Select Arabic as the language and you are ready to type Arabic.
That's it, start typing.
If you are using Windows 8, then it is even easier. Just press Windows Key + Space to switch between languages and keyboards.
