But alas, we have to make do and save from what we have.
For us net workers, the straightforward way would be to just punch in faster.
One of it is avoiding repeated typing of the same text.
Some programs switch it on by default.
We see it in browsers when they auto-complete saved log-in details.
It comes into action in Office documents, when the tool suggests days, dates or words.
Auto-completion works by completing a word or a phrase when we key in the first few letters.
Long words or phrases can be filled in with a few keystrokes.
So we have to punch in less and the whole thing is an example in productivity.
Why Auto-Complete?
The benefits of auto-completion don’t just have to do with less typing and more productivity.
Auto-completion wards off boredom to a small extent and RSI (Repetitive Stress Injury) to a larger one.
RSI is an almost invisible but real threat to people whose occupation has anything to do with typing.
So this is where a speed typing program likeTypingAidfits in.
It is a simple tool for a simple task.
But how simply does it do it?
Let’s try it out.
TypingAid is a small and free download at 209KB.
A sample text file (wordlist.txt) is given in the program’s folder.
It’s as easy as typing your " auto-text' in successive lines.
The Operation Of TypingAid Is As Simple As 1-2-3… All entries that match the first three inputs are offered for selection in the tooltip.
Pressing the corresponding number beside the entry will auto-complete it in the place you need it.
The simple working is mentioned in the ReadMe.txt file in the program’s folder.
The size of the tooltip can be changed from Windows properties like for all regular tooltips.
The speed typing program needs no installation and is completely portable from one system to the next.
It works in all programs both offline and online.
The program is tiny and takes up very little memory.
But I guess a few runs around the block will solve that.
Phrase ExpressandTexterare two similar free speed typing programs we had covered a long while back.
Where do you think TypingAid stacks up against these two or any one in your toolset?
