![]() Keyman also puts all letters w/ dagesh in the uppercase and has ‘smart’ final forms. The main thing is that Tyndale puts the vowels on English vowel letters, and Keyman puts them all on the number row. The Hebrew keyboards are very different as you can see in my examples below.I've noted some of the Greek differences above, and you can see them in practice in the examples below.How big of a difference is there between the Tyndale and Keyman keyboards?.The free version only allows for two keyboards to loaded (in addition to the native language), so if you want to type Syriac, Coptic, or Hieroglyphic, you either need to buy the Pro version or dis/enable keyboards. The Galaxie BibleScript Mnemonicis the one you want, and it includes both Hebrew and Greek. Once the program is installed, you load a keyboard. This version even shows an onscreen keyboard if you want it. As of October 2014, however, Tavultesoft released the light version of Keyman Desktop 9 for free. Until just last October 2014, Keyman cost at least $20 for their light version, and students weren’t going to pay for that when Tyndale was free. I like the Greek layout for accents better, it allows for accents and breathings after you type the vowel, and it has 'smart' final forms for both Greek (ς) and Hebrew (ך ם ן ף ץ). I bought licenses of their Desktop 8 Light version, and they work very well for me. For myself, therefore, I have used the superior Tavultesoft Keyman progam. ![]() That's all wonderful! I could live with the Hebrew keyboard, but I do not like the Greek keyboard it installs because it requires typing accents and breathings before you type the vowel, and accents and breathings require a variety of CTRL-ALT-Shift combinations. It installs the Cardo font automatically and handles the right-to-left enabling as part of the installation too. There are installers for various flavors of Windows and for Macs.
