The most notable feature in the newer version is a more natural listbox display for word suggestions providing a view of all available suggestions. Many options are available for customizing the appearance of the listbox and word suggestions such as font size.

A problem that made word completion difficult during usual typing was solved. The program no longer changes the case of typed words unless the user opted to faithfully reproduce the word inside the word list. In addition, it is now able to configure the program to output a space after each word completion.

It is now possible to specify when TypingAid should be enabled by giving a list of included and excluded windows.

Unfortunately, Unicode and accented character support are not available in this version. Please use the older versions if you need those. We hope the support will be made available again in future.

TypingAid updated - version 2.09

This is the major stable release of the TypingAid 2.x version. New features and changes include:

Code optimization made TypingAid the fastest and most memory efficient autocompletion software available.
Program customization via preferences INI file.
Program can learn new words through word auto-learning.
Arrow keys to choose word from tooltip, choices of different autocompletion hotkeys
(technical) Able to choose more suitable Send Method to send the characters during autocompletion.
And other corrections and improvements (see Change Log)

All features of 1.x are preserved, there will be some limitations associated with some settings which will not be noticeable on first use. Because it is a new release and although it has undergone an extended period of testing, potential bugs are still inevitable. You are recommended to upgrade if the new features will benefit you. 1.x version is still a good autocompletion utility with the essential features and it rocks.

TypingAid updated - version 1.3

This is the last update of the TypingAid 1.x version. The next release will be 2.x version which is very different from 1.x version. Should you feel 1.x version is more suitable for your use, please download and use 1.3

added helper window function so that when it's open, tooltip will dock on it for use in certain applications where the tooltip could block typing. See screenshot.
added Unicode TypingAid. It supports some languages with Unicode characters.
compiled without UPX to avoid some antivirus false alarm.

TypingAid updated - version 1.2

the number beside the 10th suggestion is changed from 10 to 0 to avoid confusion.
added some instructions in readme.txt on how to adjust tooltip font size.
tooltip is now displayed closer to the caret in programs that previously do not oblige, such as Firefox.
added a comprehensive Swedish wordlist (contributed by Leif Larsson, thanks)

Support for languages that use unicode character set will have to be deferred till AutoHotKey implements the support. Meanwhile, BlitzType is being developed with this concern in mind.

BlitzType Beta 0.9 released

December 22, 2009

Our team is overwhelmed by the feedback and suggestions received. Thank you all. Actually, we are pretty occupied with our R&D project which is our full-time job. Our original intention to release TypingAid was to demonstrate the advantage of autocompletion. We weren't thinking about maintaining it except for fixing the most critical bugs. Since TypingAid has received so much attention, I posted on the original TypingAid thread at AutoHotKey forum: Intellisense-like autoreplacement with multiple suggestions, calling all developers for help. Hopefully, the authors will get my attention and look into the concerns.

If you have a suggestion, do send it to me and I will convey to them. If more and more feedback are received, I think I will take some donations. Donation is always a good incentive for free program authors to put more effort into improving it. Let me know your opinion about this.

Version 1.1

TypingAid now recognizes characters with tréma, e.g. ö in Swedish, Turkish, Finnish and German. The side-effect is that for English users, the program cannot recognize words after a quotation mark "words... If you need to autocomplete a word after a quotation mark, first type two quotation marks "" then press left and type the words in the middle.
