ROTAS is a utility application that lets you automatically or manually transliterate your text from Arabic into English, using the writing-based model of the Arabic orthography, compatible with the ALA-LC transliteration scheme with slight modifications. It also enables you to convert your text from many of the early transliteration fonts into a set of Unicode compliant fonts included in its package. Anyone using Microsoft Office 2000 or later can read your text, which is composed of ROTAS fonts, undistorted, even without having ROTAS fonts.

ROTAS Transliteration Kit was commercialised by Research Management Centre, International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) in 2008. http://www3.iium.edu.my/irkhs/rotas/.
