The Good
* Has multiple typing assisting features, such as learn commonly used phrases, allowing user to create custom phrases/abbreviations, correcting typos/spelling errors, and pasting recently copied words/phrases.
* Has a "skilled typist" and a "unskilled typist" mode.
* "Unskilled typists" allows user to take advantage of a 75,000+ English dictionary for word suggestions.
* Full Unicode support.
* Application independent - works with most programs that involve typing.
* Has the ability to exclude specific programs so Typing Assistant won't give suggestions while typing in those programs, or the ability to set Typing Assistant to only work with specific programs.

The Bad
* Does not have the ability to make anything truly "automatic" - you must use the pop up menu every time.
* Sometimes it works (gives suggestions like it should) and sometimes it doesn't.

This is improved over the earlier versions given away. See their website for upgrading instructions. Whether it's useful depends upon how well you type and whether you like this type of interface. As with most utilities, default hotkeys will conflict with other applications.

This doesn't directly compare with some of the alternatives mentioned, they all have different feature sets.

tinySpell (free or paid) has the as-you-type spelling suggestions, but only for misspelled words.

PhraseExpress (free or paid) is more sophisticated but doesn't actually have a dictionary for checking spelling.

ActiveWords (paid) and Nagarsoft Direct Access 2 (paid) have text expansion and automation features but no dictionaries.

Keybreeze (free for personal use) has pasting and launching abilities.

Numerous clipboard extenders, from free to paid ones like Thornsoft ClipMate, have pasting abilities using abbreviations.

Today's game giveaway had to be cancelled due to technical difficulties, so I've posted some excellent alternatives over in the forums that include a tram and motorcycle simulator, a fututistic basketball game called Jetball, A space orientated platform game called Helillom Planet and an unusual RPG done in the style of a old comic book.

you can find details of each with download links over in the game discussion forums. I've not yet posted any images, but will later today.

Thanks to GAOTD and Typing Assistant developer. This software is very useful for me.

I like the Alt + Left/Right/Up hotkey very much. You needn't define and remember the hotkeys for each pieces of text. For example, just press Alt+Left you can get all the abbreviations list. Then type letter(s) to filter the list. This is better than other text expanders.
