OVERVIEW:

Correct Spelling Errors On The Fly with As-U-Type!

As-U-Type is a Windows utility that works with Windows programs 
to increase typing productivity and decrease typing errors.  
With the spell checking and macro capabilities usually found 
in high-end word processors, As-U-Type lets you polish the 
e-mails that you send, the newsgroups messages that you post, 
and all of your text documents, quickly and easily.

As-U-Type corrects spelling errors on the fly.  In addition 
to automatically flagging errors in spelling, As-U-Type will
correct double capital letters at the beginning of sentences
as well as typing errors caused by turning the cAPS LOCK key
on.  Unlike traditional spell checkers that examine your 
document after you've completed typing it, As-U-Type gives 
you real-time feedback about your typing errors.  And unlike
spelling programs that are locked into a single word 
processor or other application, As-U-Type works with nearly 
all Windows programs to correct your typo's and make you 
look smarter.

You can customize As-U-Type to detect and expand any short 
sequence of text into a long text string.  For example, 
"tyvm" can be mapped to "thank you very much" so that every 
time you type "tyvm", As-U-Type will expand it automatically.
The expanded text can be up to 32,000 characters long, and 
the number of shortcuts that you create is limited only by 
your system resources.  As-U-Type saves time by reducing the
need to retype repetitive text.  It also increases accuracy 
by allowing you to type things carefully once, and letting 
you retype them with just a few keystrokes.

As-U-Type also makes it quick, easy, and accurate to fill 
online forms.  By clicking on a pre-defined list of fields, 
As-U-Type will quickly paste the information into forms on 
web pages.

As-U-Type also enhances your editing productivity by its 
multi-clipboard feature.  You can now keep up to 10 
clipboard items simultaneously and ready to copy/paste them 
in any application you work with.

As-U-Type's spelling and correcting dictionaries are 
expandable and customizable.  The program features date and 
time support, typing error tracking, manual spell checking, 
and hotkey support.  Whether you're a hunt-and-peck typist 
or a touch-typing power user, As-U-Type will speed your 
typing tasks and increase your accuracy.

Other features include:

* Automatic error detection and correction.  The auto-
  detection mechanism is fully customizable to best suit to 
  your typing style.
* Highlighting misspelled and corrected words.
* Expandable spelling and correction dictionaries.
* Replacement of boilerplate text.  The text can be saved to
  a file and reload on-use basis.
* Smart feature to fill online forms.
* Multi-clipboard feature.
* Date and time support.
* Undoing unwanted corrections/replacements.
* Keeping track of typing errors.
* Manual spelling checker.
* Hotkey support.
* Affordable and comes with unconditional 30-day money back 
  guarantee.
* And much more...

As-U-Type seems to be the first and only software that 
provides such features on the market today.
