Typing Club
Are you still hunting keys while typing? It is high time that you learn ‘touch typing’! So while your fingers type, you can review the matter on the screen.
Typing Club is a cute and friendly website that can teach you just that. It will increase your productivity, reduce shoulder pain and give you relief from the stiff neck (as you stop looking down).
Start with their typing speed test.
Cost: Free version available
I learned how to type with typing club – my speed is 25 wpm (and increasing) …. and I rarely look down 😊
Communicate Faster with Textexpander
TextExpander is literally your shortcut for writing fast.
Once you install it, this tool speeds up your writing/typing. Here, you save any frequently used block of text with a single word shortcut key. Then you can recall the block of text just by using the shortcut key in MS-Word, Outlook, Facebook, or any application.
Cost: Free version available for 30 days
After the 30-day trial, I have moved to the paid version. Now, I write my profile summary, usual follow-ups, contact details, bank a/c details, etc., with their respective single-word shortcuts!
Slice and dice PDFs using ‘Online2PDF’
A friendly utility that lets you convert your office files to PDF and vice versa.
We typically have only a PDF reader but not the editor.
I use this tool often to:
- Split a PDF file into multiple files
- Combine 2 or more PDF files
- Remove or provide PDF password protection
- Rotate or reorder the pages
