This is the last update to TypingAid version 1.x which addresses the problems of tooltip blocking and antivirus false alarm. A Unicode version of the program is also added for support of languages with Unicode characters. Meanwhile TypingAid 2.x and BlitzType are under intense testing and development. When they have reached a stable stage suitable for general users, we will release them. The primary new feature of TypingAid 2.x is the word learning function and its performance was much improved after code optimization. BlitzType will have multiple-suggestion tooltip and external dictionary support.

 

Wordlists update

The Swedish word list is updated to include more words.

2 new word lists are uploaded too: Brazilian Portuguese and Russian.

Newest TypingAid 1.2 now has some of the requested features. Thanks to maniac @ AutoHotKey forum and those who gave their feedback. Meanwhile I have created a poll about BlitzType, if you like our typing autocompletion programs, please help us to answer the question of the poll. (Poll is closed)

 

Why the question?

The TypingAid program has proven useful to many and we have received many feedback. It's fascinating to learn that there are many different ways to use the program. However, very few know that the script has been around and developed for as long as 5 years on AutoHotKey forum.

 

A freeware author is often enthusiastic on his/her creation to a limit, because he/she can't devote full-time into it, (with some exceptions). An open-source project often needs commercial backing for it to turn into success. Some active distribution and promotion methods are needed to let more people know about a project. It's not unusual that TypingAid was left relatively unnoticed for 5 years.

 

Therefore it's my desire to attract more developers to work on BlitzType, and make the development process faster (6 months instead of 5 years to complete), hopefully build a community around it, offer a more responsive email as well as community technical support, introduce the programs to more people, publish more useful articles on the blog. The ultimate goal is to let more people benefit from TypingAid & BlitzType. To do that, I need $$.

 

So as not to create any bias in your mind before you attempt the poll. I shall comment no further. Please take some time to ponder and give an answer based on your own judgement. Thank you very much.

Microsoft Excel comes with many keyboard shortcuts and experienced users use them to get their work done faster. After using Excel for a long time, we realized that some commonly performed tasks and functions take a few more keystrokes or mouse-clicks than others to perform and they do not come with shortcuts. This problem is made worse in Excel 2007 where the ribbon interface has been introduced.An office productivity software is supposed to increase our productivity in the office. Yet the design of Excel 2007 has this shortcoming. If we stick with the original keyboard shortcut system, we find our speed being limited by the pre-defined set of keyboard shortcuts. So we decided to augment the system with an external program, AutoHotKey which we have introduced earlier, to create custom hotkeys and improve the usability of Excel.

 

 

AutoHotkey isn't new. It has been around since '03 and has attracted for itself a sizable user community that keeps producing and sharing useful scripts and feedback to keep the program development going. It has also been featured in many popular sites before, such as MaximumPC.AutoHotkey is a multi-purpose free, open-source utility for Windows, capable of

A little while ago, we were doing some light scripting tasks without using any IDE (integrated development environment). We found ourselves kept typing the same commands again and again, so it was a good idea to look for a Text Replacement utility or Abbreviation Expander to help us cut down repetitive typing. What this utility does is that it lets us define an abbreviation for a group of words or a phrase, so that when we type out the abbreviation, it turns into the group of words or the phrase. For example:

 

afaucs -> as far as you can see

 

So instead of typing the complete phrase "as far as you can see", we can just type 'afaucs' and have it automatically replaced by "as far as you can see". That saves some keystrokes especially for those who frequently type the same words or phrases. This can simplify typing alot.
