We are excited to announce the release of a brand-new version of TypeEasy. This version is entirely self-contained, meaning you do NOT need to own a copy of Word. It also rectifies some of the clunkier aspects of the old program and more seamlessly integrates with the updated Typist Dashboard.
We are thrilled to be able to share this version of the program with our typists. In the coming weeks, all typists will need to start transitioning to the new platform. The older version of TypeEasy will be decommissioned on September 1, 2023.

If you see a dotted line appearing under your text, you may have accidentally turned on Hidden Text. This feature should never be used in SpeakWrite work for two reasons – 1) it doesn’t show up when Show/Hide is off or when the client tries to print the job, and 2) you won’t be paid for it because it isn’t counted in the word count of the job. In your document, Hidden Text looks like this:   To turn this off, highlight the hidden text (anything underlined with the dotted line) and use the key combination ctrl+shift+H. |

If you have third-party antivirus software (McAfee, Norton, etc.), it may be interfering with TypeEasy V2’s ability to display properly. Try disabling and/or uninstalling your antivirus software to see if the issue is resolved. If so, you may want to stick with Windows Defender (the pre-loaded antivirus protection software that comes standard on Windows machines) rather than using the third-party antivirus. |
