Russian phonetic keyboard for Windows 7, Vista, and XP

[Gene Shklar]

The earlier message from Dr. Vanchu at NASA reminded me to inform the 
list about the recently completed Russian version of my popular 
Ukrainian phonetic keyboard for Windows. You can find documentation and 
download here:

The standard Microsoft Russian keyboards in Windows are based on the 
layout of a Russian typewriter keyboard, making them difficult to use, 
learn and memorize.

This keyboard, by contrast, maps Russian Cyrillic characters 
phonetically onto the standard QWERTY keyboard that most of us grew up 
with and have attached to our PCs. It was produced using Microsoft's 
keyboard-customization software and installation procedures, so no 
special font libraries or strange software are required. Installation is 
a snap, and you can toggle between English and Russian keyboard layouts 
at any time with a single keystroke or two mouse clicks.

There are several other Russian phonetic keyboard layouts available out 
in cyberspace. This one, however, is more sensibly arranged for 
features, ease of memorization, and ease of use by language teachers and 
students.
