If you find yourself typing a lot on a daily basis, and the same expressions keep coming up, you might want to use a third-party software solution that can simplify the task, such as LetMeType.

When launching the utility, it begins monitoring your keyboard input in the background and after a while, it generates a list of your most typed words. Next, you can rearrange the items alphabetically, by number of occurrences or by the time they were added to the database.

The advanced features, which will be presented later on, are accessible only though the menus, resulting in a clean main window.

One of the strengths of the program lies in the fact that it works with pretty much any text input field, be it in a save window, in a word processor, in a browser and so on. Moreover, you are able to configure it to only react to certain applications while ignoring the rest.

You can compile a list of words that will be ignored, thus removing the risk of suggesting them later on. It's a nice addition, considering the fact that the program saves all its items without any encryption.

A downside is the fact that the application's predictions are limited to only one word at a time. This might be handy for long or complicated lexemes that need to be typed repeatedly, but LetMeType can't save phrases or expressions.

When you start typing the first few letters of a word that is present in the utility's database, a small pop-up, with the predicted items, should be displayed close to your mouse cursor. Sadly, this is not always the case. Sometimes, the utility fails to recommend any autofill elements, even though all the prerequisites are met.

The idea behind LetMeType, a program that learns your most used expressions and suggests them the next time you are typing a document, is indeed a good one. Unfortunately, being limited to only one word at a time greatly reduces the potential of helping you become more productive.

What's new in LetMeType 1.81:

  • Instead of inserting the suggestions by simulating keyboard input, LetMeType now uses the clipboard. This makes inserting special characters which are not available with the current keyboard layout more reliable.
  • The task bar symbol is displayed permanently again. By clicking on it, suggestions and the learning of new words can be toggled.
