Guides to Help You Type or Learn Scripts

Jaspell Jaldi for Windows at Menu Key provides for normal typing of standard text (West European or "Roman").  For Asian scripts there are two ways, namely Romanized and Mapped to Keys.   Also at Menu Key charts are provided to assist users learning the scripts, their pronounciation, and how to type them quickly.

West European "Accented Roman" Typing.
No guide is needed for such a simple system. It is easy to make a note that the Ctrl key with 0 to 9 give the accent or other modified forms as in exemplified in:- clear (a), à, ä, á, æ(ß), ç, â, ø, å, ã, respectively. However, from Menu "Mode" you can choose to display a panel showing which suffixed number produces which accent.
