Android has got a lot of useful options for quick and easy typing, like Swype, SwiftKey, A.I.type Keyboard etc, and even Windows Phone’s stock keyboard is pretty good. On the other hand, the autocorrect in iOS is notoriously troublesome. There is a rather complex way of unlocking the correction bar for iPhone keyboard, but not many people are likely to go through all that trouble to enhance their typing experience. So, if you are among those who have always found the absence of alternative typing options in iOS a little annoying, Fleksy is here for you. This app provides users with a keyboard that lets you type effortlessly and without having to think too much. With Fleksy, you just type anything that remotely resembles the word you intend to use, and then, with a single swipe, that gibberish will change into the correct word (most of the times, at least). Even if the app doesn’t get it right in the first attempt, you just have to swipe downwards and choose the correct word from the app’s suggestions list. Read More

While typing, it's common to make mistakes. If you are typing with a lot of speed, you can miss a letter or hit a wrong key, which results in the wrong character being entered or omitted altogether. Programs such as Microsoft Word, Windows Live Writer etc, have built in auto correction feature that changes a word to its correct form, if entered with the wrong spellings. Smartphones also have this feature, mostly enabled by default, that they automatically correct the words entered with wrong spellings, saving you the trouble of erasing, and then writing the whole word again. If you search for a word on Google, and you don’t know its correct spellings, Google suggests to you the word with correct spellings. However, there are a lot of other applications, like the Windows Notepad, that do not come with the auto corrections. Today, we have an application for Windows that allows you to have autocorrect with almost all applications. SecondKey is a tool that automatically corrects typos, capitalizes words and expands text, all according to user preferences. It lets you enable and disable the features on offer using hotkeys and sports a built-in typing test to analyze your words per minute and mistakes. Read More
