How do you put in diacritics (tashkil)? Can you use a regular English keyboard and do phonetic transliteration?

That is possible under Mac if you use the "Arabic QWERTY" keyboard. See this link for instructions http://katibapp.com/help/arabic-on-mac/#learnersofarabicwill...

Additionally, you can use the "Keyboard Viewer" when Arabic is selected as a keyboard layout and hold shift. This will show you which keys render diacritics.

This looks very nice, well done. Too expensive for me, but still nice.
