If your job requires you to type for extended periods of time then a fast typing speed can do wonders for you. It can increase your productivity as well as leaving with your free time to focus on other non-typing aspects of your job. This is why people who type a lot have usually enabled the auto-complete option in their browsers or word processing software to cut back on the time taken on typing the same block of words again and again. In this respect the auto-complete feature in various programs benefits a lot of us. Moreover a job comprising of a lot of typing poses a serious threat of Repetitive Stress Injury (RSI). By enabling the auto-complete option, we type less and reduce the chances of suffering any RSI.

Today we explore a great little freeware program which lets us auto-complete our texts by predefining our list or block of words. This program is called TypingAid.

TypingAid as the name suggests, assists us while we type. It is a small 200KB program compatible with Windows XP, Vista, and 7. Installing it is not necessary; all that is required is that we extract the five files included in the downloaded archive.

Then we run the executable file titled TypingAid. A small window will appear introducing the program. Once this windows disappears,  a green icon will now be present in the system tray.

The TXT file titled WORDLIST includes the list of words which appear as auto-complete options. We can add or remove the word in this file by simply editing it in Notepad.

When we type the first three letters of a word or block of words in the WORDLIST file, our auto-complete options immediately appear.

We press the number corresponding to our option and it gets entered.

In this extremely simple way, TypingAid makes typing easier for most of us whose typing speeds are not as fast as we would like them to be.
