You can find the version history here: |
Lintalist is a context-sensitive text expander with abbreviations, shortcuts, plugins, and scripts. It allows you to store and (incrementally) search and edit texts in bundles and paste a selected text in your active program. Entered text can be interactive, such as automatically inserting the current time and date, requesting (basic) user input, or making a selection from a list, as well as running a script.
The program supports keyboard shortcuts or abbreviations to paste the text (or run a script) without opening the search window, and allows images and formatted text, including HTML, markdown, and RTF.
A 64-bit version is also available. Written in AutoHotkey

Doesn't work unless I'm missing something. Change any setting, restart and it crashes.

Finally got around to taking a closer look at this software and I'm totally blown away with just how good it is. You need to spend a bit of time with it, but wow, such a timesaver. I can consolidate 3 or 4 other programs I use into just this one. Excellent. |
Beeftext is a text substitution tool that automates the entry of frequently-used text, functional in any application that supports copy/paste. Text automation is achieved via "combos," or a text snippet substituted via a user defined keyword that serves as a trigger for the snippet. These combos can be organized into groups or individually disabled.
Additional features include playing a sound on execution, automatic backup, export and import, pause, tray control and more.

"Runs on: Win7 / Win8 / Win10": it does not. I could not get any of the versions from 12 to 14 to run on my Windows-8 laptop. |
AutoText offers in a small tooltip window saved words, texts, phrases, snippets etc. during typing in any other program and will insert the selected item directly to the cursor position. In case of unsuccessful search, Space, Return, PgUp, PgDn etc. closes the small window, so that fast and liquid typing is not disturbed. Three different search methods can be set.
In addition AutoText monitors the clipboard and saves the last X text entries of the clipboard, which can then be retrieved as well.

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.

TypingAid 2.20.0 has been released. It's a total revamp of TypingAid... new database backend, new settings GUI, etc. |
Click-N-Type is a on-screen virtual keyboard for anyone with a disability that prevents him or her from typing on a physical computer keyboard. It features word prediction/completion, macros, audio/visual feedback options including spoken keys etc. It also includes a keyboard designer and many user designed layouts.
Unlike many similar tools, Click-N-Type is able to get text into uncooperative places like browser URL "Address:" fields, Email "To:" addresses, Email "Subject:" fields, dialog boxes like "Open" and "Save As...", and many more.

luojie, Are you sure you have the correct French Language Pack installed on you portable device, as described in the "Special considerations for Click-N-Type Portable:" section at http://cnt.lakefolks.com/portable.htm ? There are several for different countries. Also, be sure the correct Input Language has been installed in Windows, and is being used by the current target window. Address questions to Click-N-Type@LakeFolks.com .

John, We see the possible problem and have eliminated the need for that module, not distributed with Windows 7. However, we still need some more time to sufficiently test Click-N-Type on Windows 7. Please watch the http://cnt.lakefolks.com site for the next revision (newer than 3.03.387). Address questions to Click-N-Type@LakeFolks.com . |
iSpace mimics the iPhone function of interpreting a rapid double space as a period-space, which can greatly improve typing speed. The program also provides optional capitalization of the following character. iSpace is useful for any typing procedure where speed is essential, such as dictation or transcription.

Very useful application for those versed with the iPhone shortcut as suggested by the developer. For those who are not so familiar, it will be provide less typing than ordinarily supplying a period, space and a capital. Works well across MS Office applications, notepad apps (Notepad, Notepad++, etc), graphic apps like Paint.NET, Fotografix etc.

This is a good idea. I have incorporated it in my computer through an AHK script. |
