For Immediate Release

Asutype Increases Typing Accuracy and Productivity

Brisbane, QLD -- FANIX Software has released version 3.3 of their award-winning typing software, Asutype, a Windows productivity tool that corrects typographical mistakes in real-time and automates repetitive typing. Asutype integrates right into the Windows input system, provides on-the-fly spell check and automatic speed typing services anywhere you type. This smart software adapts to your keyboarding habits, learns your frequently made mistakes and quickly increases your typing accuracy and productivity.

Working in the background of all applications, Asutype continuously monitors your typing, watches out for mistakes that you may make such as mistyping (e.g. you slip your fingers and hit a wrong key), Caps Lock key accidentally turned on, un-capitalized names and sentences, misspellings and many others. If a mistake is recognized as frequent (e.g. you have made it before), Asutype will correct it immediately and automatically like it had never happened. If you make a mistake the first time, Asutype will signal it, keep track of it and learn it so it can be fixed the next time if you make it again.

Asutype also watches out for repetitive text patterns and automatically expands any predefined abbreviation into a longer text. You can assign a frequently used text such as your address, your signature, a difficult technical term, a common phrase etc. for a much shorter abbreviation and whenever you want to type the text, just type in the assigned abbreviation and Asutype will automatically replace it with the original text. For example, "tyvm" can be expanded to "thank you very much", "asap" can become "as soon as possible".

Asutype watches out for repetitive typing tasks and automates them, too. You can assign a series of commands or actions that you perform repeatedly or in a regular basis for a hot key and Asutype will carry out those tasks by answering the hot key. For example, you can use a hot key to duplicate a block of text, launch a search to a search engine, write an e-mail, copy and paste multiple clipboard items at the same time.

Because Asutype works with your keyboard, it works all the time and everywhere when you are typing such as writing reports, essays or diaries, emailing, participating in online forums, jotting down quick notes, blogging or chatting etc. This unique and consistent software protects you from making annoying typos, speeds up your typing, saves you effort and makes more efficient use of your time. It is useful for all computer users who use keyboards and invaluable for those who type a lot such as medical transcriptionists, help desk staff, translators, writers, editors, bloggers, forum participants.
