TypeWell Software

• Natural spelling-based abbreviation system works the way most typists think, to reduce learning time and increase the automatic use of the abbreviations when transcribing. This ease of abbreviation recall leaves more mental time for clear and accurate processing of the meaning of what is being heard.
• The only system that comes with a full 200,000 word dictionary that allows abbreviation of not just every-day English but also medical and specialized terms. 
• Polished software has streamlined startup and automatic linking to the reader computer(s) for fast set-up and transcribing.
• Abbreviation system is mathematically designed to minimize the number of keystrokes needed for real-world transcribing.
• Provides twice the typing rate increase of other standard-keyboard systems, as well as of optimized systems like the Dvorak keyboard, yet is much easier to learn. 
• Is designed for lower system costs and increased cost effectiveness by supporting the highest typing rates on even the slowest, least-expensive computers. 
• Has the most comprehensive set of linking options: to a second computer, projector, handheld device, or Braille writer.
• Reader can use linked computer to take notes, customize font for visibility, or use screen reader.
