Microsoft Maren – Type Arabic in Roman characters on the fly

 Microsoft Maren - type arabic in Roamn chacters on the fly

Just wanted to point out this really cool looking Windows Extension Microsoft Maren that lets you type using a Roman character keyboard and have it convert to Arabic on the fly.

‘Lack of access to an Arabic keyboard or lack of familiarity with one are two of the most common problems preventing Arabic users from communicating in their own language.

Microsoft Maren is a Windows extension that comes to the rescue, allowing you to type Arabic in Roman characters (Romanized Arabic, Arabizi, Arabish or Franco-Arabic) and have it converted on the fly to Arabic script.

Maren integrates seamlessly with Windows and works in most Windows applications and websites’
