TypingAid is a fast and simple auto-completion utility that suggests words and phrases in any window. The program supports European languages with accents, suggestion tooltips, and the ability to add words and phrases to word list with shortcut key.
The program can help with writing in a language different than the available keyboard, with highly technical or medical terminology, or to help cut down on typing for touch or disabled typists.
The program was compiled using an AutoHotkey script and the .AHK source included.

Found a bug when generating new Preferences.ini files. If you've started anew with TypingAid since v2.19.7, it's probably best to delete your preferences.ini, but it will fix the TerminatingCharacters entry IF you have not modified that entry since the Preferences.ini was created.
*2.19.9 12/18/2014
** Fixed bug when creating TerminatingCharacters when generating preferences file. Broken TerminatingCharacters will be repaired if not already modified.
** Added "Threading" during the input loop to cause less missed keys
** Auto-launch 64 bit exe if present and launching a compiled script (name 64 bit script "64.exe")
** Fixed some poorly named variables

v2.19.7
Thanks!
v2.19.7
@ Maniac: Thanks ... and updated ;)
BTW: I changed the Icon, too.
The icon was 'Photoshop Feather Tablet Icon' ( http://iconbug.com/detail/icon/2598/photoshop-feather-tablet/ ).
I think joby_toss (who added the entry) changed it on his local machine, because he likes it more, than the AHK-icon.
That's may the reason, why it came into TPFC's database.
