TypeEasy V2 Preview

We are excited to announce the upcoming release of the brand new version of our software, TypeEasy V2, coming very soon in spring 2023!  As we are now in the final stages of polishing up this new program, we would like to invite all interested typists to download it and begin trying it out on real live jobs.  Any and all feedback is welcome to help us get it in top shape before the official release.
