Alternative for LetMeType under Windows 7? Thread poster: Wolfgang Jörissen
|
Up till now, I am an avid user of LetMeType (http://www.clasohm.com/lmt/en/) and although it has not been developed any further since 2006, it was working fine for me under Windows XP. Unfortunately, it does not work that well under Windows 7, so I had to deinstall it. Is there any alternative software that basically does the same thing? I'd even be willing to pay for this. | | | Ulf Samuelsson Mexico Local time: 08:54 Member (2007) English to Swedish + ...
AutoHotkey works perfectly even in Windows 7. It's easy to use and easy to update as you work, if you need to add any expressions to the list. | | | Nothing more automatic? | Sep 16, 2010 |
Hi Ulf, thanks for your reply. I know, like and have AutoHotkey und I use it for different purposes. However, I do not think that it is the perfect replacement for LetMeType, since I would have to add every expression by hand, while LetMeType always updated itself automatically, just putting all the words that I am typing into a list, without me having to do anything (correct me if I am wrong). Is there nothing more in that direction? | | | Ulf Samuelsson Mexico Local time: 08:54 Member (2007) English to Swedish + ... What about installing in XP mode? | Sep 16, 2010 |
Unfortunately, I don't know of any other program that can add to the list automatically as you type. Have you tried to install LetMeType in XP mode? It might work. Or simply selecting compatibility mode Windows XP for the installation files (right click and select Properties > Compatiblity) before you do the installation. Sometimes that can take care of minor compatibility problems. | |

I use this application on occasion and it is far better than LetmeType. Unfortunately I don't know if it works under Windows 7, haven't tested it yet. A lot of applications I used to work with seems not to work under it. Anyway, I hope this helps you.

I have to say that I got so used to this little helper that when I recently made the transition to Win7 I was concerned about the issues you reported. Then I decided to give it a try and installed it. The only thing I had to adjust was to grant my user full access to the programs directory. Ever since it has worked like a charm - even better than on XP, where it sometimes looses "focus" on the program I want to use it with so I have to "refocus" it to, say, my CAT tool. So I would e...

So I would encourage all who like this tool as much as I do to try installing it. Cheers, Jan ▲ Collapse | | | Attila Bielik Hungary Local time: 16:54 Member (2009) English to Hungarian + ...
