#68, Typing Assistant suck. I tried it before, it’s just one big bug (as usual for a Chinese software). You’re an author right ? You’d better make it work before promoting here.

I have tried this program, but I prefer Typing Assistant more. http://www.sumitsoft.com

#66, canyon, learn something about computer security. Decent firewalls are designed to prevent just the sort of scenario you described. Type Booster doesn’t access the Internet via any method.

54: Malware can tunnel through the browser at port 80. Your Firewall won’t recognize it unless you would inspect ANY web access of your browser.

I checked the TypeBooster website and it is really shady. No sign of identity whatsoever. Completely anonymous. There is always a questionable reason when a ‘company’ hides their origin/location.

+1 for PhraseExpress. It is free and has all the features of TypeBooster, Ditto AND Clipmate combined. At least the functionality I need.

people download this, it’s useful! believe me, it helps you type better, if you have problems with spelling or do not know many words, meaning that you need to build your vocabulary, or if you just wish to be reminded of certain words, people this is the right tool for you!

i’m an author and poet, i know that this program works and i’ve already installed and tried it

so far i’ve not encountered any problems, except that it may feel kind of bothersome for some who don’t like having words appearing before them as they type

people this little program does what it says

ok that’s all i wanted to say

although it is about to expire,

take care

If you know how to type you have no need for this program unless you are one that has to do the same thing over and over again. If that is the case then there are much better programs for that.

Remember there are different keyboards for different uses that can be of great help to apecial types of writing.

This program is more trouble to a typest than it is worth.

I am not a real good typest but the lady across from me is very good and she has three different keyboards attached to her computer as I type this. She types faster than I talk.

nevertheless, I won’t give this a thumbs down just because I don’t need it. Instead, I didn’t vote, because I feel that it would be wrong to vote positive when I didn’t try the program, and it would be wrong to vote negative for the reason given above.

The one typing assistant program that was a GAOTD that I found truly useful was Comfort Keys Pro. When I broke my wrist, its onscreen virtual keyboard was “virtually” a lifesaver.

I agree that typing assistants are good for people who use the “hunt and peck” method of typing or type slowly for other reasons. I don’t know what my typing speed is now (except that I’m used to typing almost at the speed of thought) but in 9th grade I hit 120 wpm no errors on a test and hate having to wait on any program to try to catch up!
