User Guide

1. If you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer, the first time you use the program, you have to give permissions for access. When the program starts you will see a yellow notification stripe along the top of the screen. Click on this stripe "Allow Access to Internet" or something related. Then, the program will work without any problem.

Transcribtion

Transcriptions are given in the font named Oktay New Transkripsiyon. Transcribed letters and their opposites on Arabic alphabet are like this (the font must be installed and you must see right to left permutation):

æ å Ó ó Ô ô Õ õ Ù ù Ú  ú Û û Ò ò á  à  ä ã ë  ê è é ñ

ث ث ح ح ظ ظ ذ ذ ط ط ق ق و و خ خ غ غ ص ص ض ض ع غ ك

Note: If the font named Oktay New Transkripsiyon is not installed on your computer, the letters will be seen erroneous. I would strictly suggest you to use a Unicode IPA font like Gentium Plus or Doulos SIL etc.
