A Tip to Translators.

Post by SkyFrontier »

It may or may not make a difference for you, people, BUT PhraseExpander and Typing Assistant were of invaluable help to me, as well as some basic scripting (see here for some hints: http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic. ... 600#p79600).

You should really give them a try, particularly when it comes to ensure consistency as well as shortening typing of repetitive sentences.

How did you manage to get Typing Assistant to work with ITT?

It works for everything for me except XYplorer, despite the settings.

Version 5.4, on a XP notebook.
What are yours...?

Alternatively you may want to try http://www.donationcoder.com/forum/inde ... ic=23643.0 - reduced functionality but still auto-completion support.

I have version 5.4.
The strange thing is: it works everywhere else…

Are administrative rights a possible cause, both on XY or TA side...?

I doubt it since I have stupid habit to always work on admin account (WinXP here).

Nope. I've only tried few already mentioned applications.

Although I tested a lot of typing tools few years ago, I don't have as much time I'd like to, to explore them again. And last time… most of these couldn't handle Polish characters well (main issue was differencing between left and right Alt keys).

On the other hand: most of the time I use tools which have some sort of auto-complete built in (be it Visual Studio, Notepad++ or even Dreamweaver). Because of that I rarely need Typing Assistant type of software (I have TA licence thanks to translation I did). The only place I would use these are emails but The Form Letter Machine covers that.
