Use AutoCorrect Plus to: * Correct typographical errors on the fly. AutoCorrect Plus provides a mechanism for automatically correcting typographical or misspelling errors as a user types, without having to run SpellCheck for those errors. AutoCorrect Plus corrects common errors such as TWo INitial CAps, lowercasing of days of the week (monday, etc), first letter capitalization of sentences, and accidental cAPS LOCK being held down. This feature includes a default list of common typing errors and a dialog interface that allows a user to add personal typing or spelling errors and their corresponding automatic corrections. * Replace boilerplate text with a text shortcut for fast typing. A user can assign frequently used phrases, paragraphs, e-mail addresses... for short abbreviations (text shortcuts) and then whenever he/she wants to type the original text, he/she just types in the assigned shortcut and AutoCorrect Plus immediately replaces it with the complete, expanded text. The replaced text can be as long as 4096 characters, and even can contain control characters such as or . * Type extended characters which are not available directly on US keyboards such as ©, ®, À, Ç... AutoCorrect Plus substituted complex Alt key combinations with simpler, more intuitive and easy-to-remember shortcuts, for example A`` for À, C,, for Ç, (c) for © or O^^ for Ô... Of course, a user can change these preset shortcuts to whatever he/she wants or is familiar with. Other features include: * Fast downloading because of its small size. It is a very simple and easy-to-use utility. * Smoothly working with almost all Windows 95/98/NT applications. Thus AutoCorrect Plus provides users a consistent error correcting and text replacing mode regardless of what application they work with, not only in large word processors but also in simple text editors, e-mail or diary applications. * Adding, removing or modifying assignments easily. The entries can be imported from a tab-separated 2-column ASCII text file. * Hotkey for temporarily turning on/off its activity. * Hotkey for undoing unwanted replacements. AutoCorrect Plus requires Windows 95,98,NT. See the online help for details.
