MODIFICATION of my Phonetic layout
As I mentioned above, I did not personally design this variant of placing Russian letters on the keyboard, I just took as a basis the widely used (for years) variant called YaWERT.
If you are not satisfied with my placement of the Russian letters on the keyboard, then you can modify my phonetic layout.
This is my instructional page for such modification, it's on a separate page: 'How to modify Phonetic Layout'

Some text editors and all older software
- Select the appropriate Cyrillic font from the fonts list
- Switch keyboard to Russian mode
Unicode font is a very large font and contains letters of many different alphabets, including Western European, Russian, Greek, etc. It was explained in details in my Fonts and Encodings section mentioned at the beginning of this page.
These modern programs use a new approach for typing that is based on the language of the keyboard (non-Unicode programs require a user to choose a national font first).
If you work with a Unicode font such as 'Arial' or'Times New Roman' then these modern Unicode-based applications let you input your own text as follows:
If you work with a Unicode font such as 'Arial' or
- you do not select a Russian font in the fonts list. For example, in
Word 97 you see just 'Arial' in the fonts window (you do not see its parts such as'Arial (Cyrillic)' as it was inWord 6 ) - instead, you just switch the keyboard mode to
Russian ('RU'). Based on the selected keyboard mode, these Unicode applications use thecorresponding part of this large, multi-lingual Unicode font, that is, Cyrillic part of this large font will be used when you type and thus you will see a Russian text on the screen.
It's even more obvious in a Web browser - you don't see any font window at all, you just switch the keyboard to Russian and start typing.
Typing Russian when system tune-up cannot be done:
at work or in a hotel's business center Windows or Mac computer
If you need to write in Russian, but you are not using your own PC, say you are in an Internet-cafe or in the library, where you can read Russian but can not
you can use special Web page with a Virtual Keyboard where you can input Cyrillic text (using mouse or physical keyboard) and then copy it to the place where you need it. Fl studio 12 torrent producer edition.
That is, even in that case you should not send a transliteration, latin text such as 'privet' or 'schast'ye' that will bother the readers of that message - no, you can send normal Mac os x lion download vmware image. Cyrillic text.
Virtual Keyboard allows you to input via regular keyboard (though mouse can be used, too) and - important! - you can type 'as at home', choosing, in the menu below the image, same layout (Standard or Phonetic) that you use at home!
Please see for yourself: 'On-screen, virtual Russian keyboard'
While in Internet-cafe, you can use a short address of that Virtual Keyboard:
- TypeRus.com (=http://winrus.com/keyboard.htm)
Obviously, it's not as handy as typing with regular Windows or Mac keyboard tools, so you should use such special Web page only in such 'corner case' as Internet-cafe or library (or if you need to type Russian not too often).
That is, if it's your own computer at home then you should spend 20 minutes - one time! - to read the instruction on this page, for regular Windows keyboard tools activation via Control Panel (with standard or phonetic Russian keyboard layout).

Apple Macintosh: regular and phonetic keyboard layouts for Russian
OOB English Mac computers already have both types of Russian keyboard layouts - regular and phonetic. Regular type has 2 variants - Mac-own and 'Windows PC' that is, almost the same as under MS Windows.
Here is my page about all this, but it's only in Russian (I am sure English speakers who work with Mac can figure out keyboard layouts settings there themselves):
'Ввод кириллицы под НЕрусским Макинтошем: обычные и фонетические раскладки; буква 'Ё' в раскладках'
There is a freeware Layout Editor for Mac and you can re-position letters and symbols if you wish (say, make Phonetic layout for French keyboard):

On many gadgets there is a common way to get Russian letter 'Ё' - press Russian 'Е' and hold it for more than a second. You'll see 'Ё' in drop-down frame.

Some links (just examples, one can find more 'Russian keyboard' apps there), I personally didn't try first two listed below:
- 'SlideIt'

Article (in Russian) about Russian typing on gadgets with external USB keyboard -
'Как переключить внешнюю клавиатуру на русский' - This is one I use - multilingual keyboard application, Russian included (both standard and phonetic layouts) -
'Hacker's Keyboard': - description, instruction - User's Guide

IMHO, this is very useful app as it emulates regular computer keyboard
I've made there my own phonetic layout described above as 'Yawert' so I can use same layout under my MS Windows computer and on my Android gadgets.
That is, with my variant of .apk file of this app, 'Russian Phonetic' is my 'Yawert'.- download original app (.apk file that you will need to install on your device) - hackerskeyboard/releases
