![]() But that's not a fault of LightKey so much as it is a restriction of autocomplete software in general.įor what it does, LightKey performs very well with smart resource consumption and an overall smooth experience. The average typist will likely find this software to be a miracle and the boost of confidence in spelling correctly is worth the effort to get used to the software. In fact, the more frustrating part is that if you know what you are typing ahead of the time, then you likely won’t find much use for LightKey. This results in some much needed formatting time afterward. If you hit the tab button with a delay, it will act as normal and leave behind chunks of white space. Much of the time, it suggests words that have nothing to do with what I’m typing. If you’re typing under a time limit, LightKey makes it possible to see the spelling in advance before you’re even finished. The added precision finishes more accurate words quicker, but that’s not LightKey's only use. Nevertheless, I have found that the software can be very useful upfront. Of course, for a more accurate conclusion, the user would need to regularly use the software over a long period of time to see significant time saves. In fact, 3.9% of my LightKeyed words saved me approximately half a minute. Sure enough, shifting the settings towards the precise end to limit suggestions did improve my experience. The boost in saved minutes seems minimal but it does exist. Fast typists could take the slider to the right side to get suggestions only when there is a high probability of match and therefore boost their typing speed on targeted events. Lightkey has a built-in mechanism that allows the user to choose the level of confidence in which Lightkey will offer suggestions.So over time one might find himself enjoying fast typing with less spent energy. Fast typing requires energy, and Lightkeying requires less energy.However, as a fast typist myself I found the following: Regarding your conclusion about fast typists, you are right and fast typists will feel less empowered by Lightkey upon initial use. Guy Katabi, CEO of LIGHTKEY SOURCES LTD responded to our inquiries about his software and our concerns about the efficiency for the more experienced. That's why we decided to reach out and see if we were missing something important. Typing at the Speed of Lightįor faster typists like myself, it seems that we’re more subject to just keep typing than to wait for the LightKey to spell anything out for us. Initially, it can seem like a time waster but ultimately can be adjusted to and will improve your own typing if not solely for correct spelling. For those who need to be quicker than usual, this software is a double-edged sword. The average person normally writes around 50-60 words per minute. Typing with LightKey is surprisingly smooth and feels like it is well-integrated with Microsoft products. At first, it was random stuff, but as I began to get a feel for the software I decided to give it the ultimate test: a feature post for WinBeta (OnMSFT). With Microsoft Word open and LightKey running in the background, I began to start typing.
