Publisher's description

From Benjamin Blonder :

SophoKeys provides an easy to use and standardized method for writing Ancient Greek on the Macintosh, taking advantage of the well-known Beta Code of Thesaurus Linguae Graecae. Producing platform independent Unicode output, SophoKeys is a perfect tool perfect for the modern publishing world. Creating complex documents is simple, requiring no deadkeys or modifiers except shift -- simply type in Beta Code and watch your properly marked text appear on the screen, with live-updated cues as you type!

Alternatively, SophoKeys also comes with an Express layout, which enables very rapid text entry. Features include all common breathings, accents and other marks available with a single keystroke and vowel deadkeys - type accents after letters! Furthermore, SophoKeys Express allows capital letters to be entered in the simpler shift-letter format.

SophoKeys also comes with a Caps layout which is exactly like the standard layout, but removes the need for asterisk-based capitalization. The Caps layout supports capital letter entry with either the shift or caps-lock key, then allows accents and other marks to be typed afterwards.

Implementation details:

Lower and upper case characters
All accents
All subscripts
All breathing marks
Macron, breve, and dieresis marks
Most archaic characters
All punctuation marks
All TLG Beta Code quotation marks
All TLG Beta Code parentheses
100 TLG Beta Code additional marks
100 TLG Beta Code additional characters

What's new in this version:

Created Caps layout for standard shift-based (non-asterisk) entry of capital letters.
Added smart single quotes to regular and Caps layouts.
