Are you looking for ways to pop in faster?
TypingAid is a clever and nearly fully automated AutoHotkey script that provides word suggestions as you throw in.
Here’s how it’s possible for you to use TypingAid as your typing assistant.
What Is TypingAid for Windows?
Why spend the time on such an endeavor when there’s TypingAid?
TypingAid is an AutoHotKey script that compares what you’re typing to a database of words and suggests matches.
This way, not only can you eliminate typos, but also pop in much faster.
How to Download & Install TypingAid
Download the script/app fromTypingAid’s official Github page.
By default, it comes in a compressed archive.
Note that TypingAid is also available in its original AutoHotkey script format.
If you download this version, you’ll also need to have AutoHotkey installed to use it.
You’ll find that atAutoHotkey’s official site.
With AutoHotkey installed, extract the archive with the AHK version of TypingAid.
In this case, instead of an executable, the file from which you might launch the app isTypingAid.ahk.
For that, though, you’ll need a wordlist.
you’re able to make a wordlist from scratch with your favorite text-editing app, like Notepad.
TypingAid automates this process, adding any words you jot down over X times to its wordlist.
Still, it’s best to use an existing wordlist with popular terms to jump-start TypingAid.
it’s possible for you to find many wordlists onTypingAid’s GitHub page.
Rename the file toWordlist.txtfor TypingAid to recognize it and import its contents.
Then, run TypingAid.
Right-select its Windows tray icon and selectSettings.
Let’s see the essential configs worth tweaking in TypingAid.
General tweaks
On theGeneral Settingspage, you’re free to tweak TypingAid’s “behavior”.
Wordlist Box
The options on theWordlist Boxpage affect how TypingAid presents its suggestions.
Programs
TheProgramspage lets you choose the apps and windows where TypingAid will be active.
There are separate fields for defining where TypingAid will be either enabled or disabled.
If that term sounds alien, that’s precisely why most people won’t have to tweak anything here!
In other words, if you need the options here, you’ll also know how to tweak them.
If not, leave them as they are.
Try entering some text in Notepad, Microsoft Word, your favorite web app, etc.
It can help you create or edit documents faster and with fewer errors.
The more you use it, the more intuitive and personalized its suggestions will become.
