Shetab and Langpad - Icelandic Characters Software for Windows

Arabic Keyboard Typing Tutor
$19.99 - PCfone Co.,

There are a lot of computer programs which teach you how to type using the keyboard. However, only a Arabic Keyboard Typing Tutor is for the Arabic Keyboard. This software is intended for people who need to learn how to type Arabic words.

The program has a simple interface, and can be used by up to 6 users. Each of the users has separate statistics about his or her typing skills. A neat game is provided with the application, which helps you learn while having fun. Arabic letters appear on your screen, and you have to type them immediately after a surrounding green circle appears.

You have access to 13 lessons, each one teaching you how to use another 2-4 keys of your Arabic keyboard. A hand appears on the right side of the user interface, showing you which finger to use when typing the next character. The sentences written are very meaning full either known sentences or pieces of poetry, as chosen by the publisher for the tests. However, from what I've seen, you have to use most of your keyboard keys to type them.

The Learning List technique

The Learning List technique means that if you get an answer wrong in any of the exercises, that word will be marked as incomplete in all exercise and will have to be attempted again. Only when all exercise have been completed will the word move off the Learning List and another, yet unlearned word, move onto the Learning List to replace it. This process continues until all words in a WordFile have been mastered.
