Introduction
Arabic Pad is a simple editor like notepad, but designed to write Arabic [Unicode] text, especially for Non Windows Arabic ( or non Arabic Keyboard). This program customizing the keyboard key so its close to the Arabic letter sound (see Character Map below for detail). By using this technique, I hope that write Arabic is easier. Arabic Pad is Freeware and Portable, work for Windows 2000, XP, 2003, Vista, Windows 7 and up, as long as the operating system support Unicode (not tested for Windows 95/98 yet)
