UniKey - download current version. english

UniKey is a unique Unicode keyboard utility that helps users type any Latin-based UNICODE characters on US keyboard in almost all Windows 2000 applications by using only thirteen unique diacritic keys. With introducing of Windows 2000 operating system, you are now able to include all different characters from the World in your document - thanks to the Unicode support. But if you want to type a foreign character (other than English, for example, the Ç (C-cedilla) or Ü (u-diaeresis)), you may need to install a keyboard driver for that language. The keyboard driver will re-assign your keyboard layout in order to let you type the language specific characters that are not available directly on the US keyboard. However, it also interferes with your habit: you may get now a quite strange character instead of a certain expected character after a familiar keystroke. For example, you will get 'Y' character when you type 'Z' key and vice versa on the French layout of your US keyboard. Therefore you must switch back and forth between English layout and the layout of your foreign language all the time.
Different keyboard drivers have different layouts, so you have to remember quite a lot of different key assignments if you are working with more than two languages at a time. As a result, your typing speed is decreased significantly, and your life is unhappy.
UniKey is written to help you overcome this kind of inconvenience: UniKey lets you type all Latin-based Unicode characters with only thrteen unique diacritic keys. Once you are familiar with these 13 keys, you can type any foreign language in the same way, same speed and as comfortable as you do in English!
