Virtual Arabic keyboard?

[mahmood]

Although I generally do not need to write Arabic, it comes in handy sometimes. I do not have Arabic keys on my keyboard, does anyone know if there's any Virtual Keyboard software for Mac that writes in Arabic?

Enable Arabic and and "Show input menu in menu bar" in the "Input menu" tab in "International preferences". Then in the "input menu" (the flag icon), select "Keyboard viewer". It should show the keyboard for your selected input language. Make sure Arabic is selected as input language and you should see Arabic keyboard.

I tend to use what Magnus suggested.
But if you need something a bit better.
Try the ingeniously named VirtualKeyboard

It's not free.
But it has a few features.
Mainly the ability to resize the keyboard.

I use this one: Virtual Arabic Keyboard | ???? ???????? ???????

It looks like my mac keyboard and the buttons are bigger than most of the other online ones! A shame a few of the functions aren't working though, but I think its still new...maybe soon?

Hope that helps!

Hey!

I tend to use this: Arabic Keys

Looks like a MAC keyboard and although not all the functions work, the keys are big and you know when you've pressed them! Would be good if the YouTube button worked, because I use it sometimes to search for videos on there!

Hope that helps!

If you are using Snow Leopard, why not just use the built in Keyboard Viewer?
