Armenian Phonetic Keyboard Layout for Mac
January 3, 2022
Armenian Phonetic Keyboard Layout which comes with Mac OSX is very hard to use, at least for me. I have created this layout for my personal use and I believe this is the most convenient layout, due to similarities with widely used Armenian Keyboard Layouts in operating systems and devices other than Mac OSX.
