Pros
Ease of use. Good dictionaries. Good customer support.
Cons
None I can think of
Summary
This program is one of the most important ones installed on my computer. I am dyslexic, so without an aid, my spelling is horrible. Typing Assistant fixes it for me which saves embarrassment. Also I am a slow typist , so this program speeds up my typing because I type fewer characters. With the text expander, I can type whole paragraphs by entering a few letters. Highly recommendable.

Pros
Large dictionaries. Lightweight. Time saving. Unobtrusive.
Cons
None to speak of.
Summary
For me, as a translator, TypingAssistant is a life saver. I spend all day at the keyboard and every extra keystroke is felt at the end of the day. So I can delegate some of the typing to TypingAssistant and let it complete words and catch typos.
Customer support is excellent. They always respond same day.

Pros
The functions Auto-Learn, Auto-Correct, and Auto-clipboard are extremely useful. It allows me to avoid some embarrassed errors that I have made from time to time before. On the top of all that, Using the hotkey Ctl+Win remembers what I said in the previous text. Like a CAT, it allows for inconsisteny of wording.
A thumb-up!
Cons
More operating instructions will get better.
Summary
Strongly recommended for freelance translators!

Pros
It worked well when I used it except for the errors.
Cons
Errors opening or saving files.
Summary
I installed the Desktop version first, but I got error messages that say "Open file error". I checked the Help in the program and says to then use the Portable version. I disabled the Windows protection called User Account Control since I thought the errors had to do with access rights to the C drive. I uninstalled the Desktop version and installed the Portable version, but I still got the same errors and the program crashes.

This is great product and will save you a lot of time. You can selectively add words and phrases to the softwares text prediction library. Moreover this software is unobtrusive and is simple and easy to use. A real winner - buy it!
Cons
The only improvement I can see that is necessary is a way to have a one-click or automated removal of spelling errors picked up by the Auto-Learn feature.
Summary
I like tje product because It makes me a faster and more efficient types and save me having to type repetitive tricky words ovre and over again! It also allows insertion of customised phrases and all phrases and words can be inserted with the simple press of the number keys.
This is a great product and is well worth buying. I highly recommend it!

Pros
Works with any program (any browser, word, excel, anywhere you can type)
Has a shortcuts feature - fantastic for filling long details.
Can turn off each feature individually
Very non-intrusive with work
Can be switched off and on easily
Cons
It auto learns wrong spellings - you'll have to remove them manually.
Trial period, pricey.
Summary
Neat program with all the pros listed above. Great help in filling out long forms by using a shortcut. For instance I can write my address and give it any shortcut, say "adr". As I type adr it prompts me for my full address which I select by hitting a pre-determined key (such as ctrl or space) and my full address gets typed out.
It prompts long words when I type the initial letters, words come from its dictionary plus the words it auto-learns from my usage.

Pros
After giving TypingAssistant a chance to 'learn you', the required word is almost always the first or second entry in the pop-up menu.
Words you use often can regularly be typed in 3 strokes WITHOUT HAVING TO ENTER THEM MANUALLY.
Cons
Spelling mistakes get recorded and remembered. Not a serious problem--I periodically delete them from the list.
Summary
Great program IF YOU GIVE IT A CHANCE TO LEARN YOUR typing habits---Please note that its full functioning will not be apparent at first! After using it for a while, the required word is almost always the first or second entry in the pop-up menu, thus enabling even fast typists to type even faster. Also, knowing that words I use a lot will appear as entry 1, I now automatically type the first 2 letters and 1. Like for my email address, I automatically type em1. This is better than Auto-complete, as I often would want to write a word beginning with 'em' (ie NOT my email address), so you don't want it completing automatically. Another great plus which I use regularly is multiple clipboard entries.

Pros
It's very smart and convenient. I've tested several typing-help programmers, it's the best. Especially useful for those who have to type repeated things.
Cons
It will be better if there are more help file and demos. Before the author improving it, I think it deserved to spend some time to learn and use if you have those repeated things.
Summary
Very useful for repeated type things.

Pros
Auto learn long words or phrases, such as people's name or address. Just a single hot key to browse all abbreviation entries and select one to expand to full text. It is very well integrated with other edit windows.
Cons
It is better than the others.
Summary
The self learning function makes typing faster and accurate. The suggestions list always there when you type anywhere. Really a very well designed tool.
