You can find some more info about the issue at
http://www.smi.uib.no/ksv/diacs.html

For PCs, there is useful info, with a link to a layout, at the Univ. of Chicago site
http://www.lib.uchicago.edu/e/su/mideast/encyclopedia/unicode.html
(Apparently, WIndows 7 has some problems with keyboard layout installers, I am not sure if that has been resolved yet for Alt-Latin).

For Macs, apart from the MiddleEast-oriented site at the top, you have built in a keyboard for writing diarcritics, US Extended, which can also be used (check under the "International" setting).

Dear Rasha Soliman
You ask for an easy way to write transcription signs for Arabic dialect texts.
 
It was just this need to write transcription signs for Arabic dialects, and do it with ease, that made me develop LingfilSemitica in co-operation with Tavultesoft and its world-leading technology Keyman.
In addition to all possible transcription signs you can also write IPA symbols with LingfilSemitica.
Since August 2011 their is a complete version for the English keyboard.
You may test it for free in 30 days. Just click www.lingfilsemitica.com or www.tavultesoft.com/buy/.
