How to Use It
If you struggle with spelling or want fast and accurate English typing, ProTyping Assistant is the perfect solution for you. This tool runs silently in the background and helps you type faster using smart suggestions, offline voice typing, and custom shortcuts.
Getting Started
After installing the ProTyping Assistant, it will automatically run in the background. A Settings window will appear where you can enable the assistant, set it to start with Windows, and find the instructions.
Note that you can only run one instance of this program at a time. If you try to open it again, a warning message will appear.
1. Word Suggestions (Alt + F8)
Type a word in any text editor or edit box. If you think the spelling is wrong, select the word using Ctrl + Shift + Left Arrow.
Press Alt + F8 to open a window named ProTyping Assistant with a list of suggestions. Use your Up and Down arrow keys to navigate the list, and press Enter on the correct word. Your focus will automatically return to your editor, and the correct word will replace the misspelled one.
2. Voice Typing (Alt + F9)
Press Alt + F9 to activate voice typing. You will hear a high-pitch beep indicating it is ready to listen. Start speaking in English to see incredibly fast and accurate offline typing. When you are done speaking, press Alt + F9 again. You will hear a low-pitch beep confirming that voice typing has stopped.
3. Setting Up the Custom Dictionary
If you frequently type long words like Pakistan or ProQuiz Simulator, you can set up a short code. Go to the Documents folder on your computer, find the ProTyping Assistant folder, and open the custom_dictionary.txt file in Notepad.
Type a short code of 2 or 3 letters, add a colon right after it, followed by a space, and then type the full word.
Example 1: PK: Pakistan.
Example 2: PQS: ProQuiz Simulator.
After typing the last letter of your word, press Enter to move to a new blank line, then save and close the file.

Press Alt + F12 to completely close the program. You can start it again from your desktop shortcut or start menu.
