Lightkey Recensioni e dettagli del prodotto

more efficient, quick to respond in email

the license ends and you need to renew :)

auto-complete repeating text in emails

As I type this, Lightkey's "Anywhere Technology" is predicting my next keystrokes (and correcting the ones I mistyped). This feature is new, and it goes to illustrate how innovative the program is. Sure, the program itself is based on machine learning, but the company is always updating the program with new features to maximize its potential. As a tax attorney and legal author, I spend my life researching and writing. Before, I used dictation to increase my efficiency. I lost the precision that comes with thinking through a sentence while typing. Once I tried Lightkey, however, it bridged the gap between efficiency and precision. I save, on average, 2 hours a month drafting with Lightkey enabled. This may not seem like much, but multiply that by my billable rate, and my annual Lightkey license has paid for itself a hundred-fold since I bought it. The program is unintrusive, intuitive, and such a pleasure to use. I had to switch computers, and I had an issue with deactivating my license on the first computer to reactivate it on the new one. I emailed Lightkey's support team, and less than twenty-four hours later, not only had they replied, but they had taken care of the issue on their end, and I could easily activate it and import my data from the previous computer. They even followed up to make sure that I had been successful. What a great product, and what a great company!

The only issue I have encountered is using Lightkey when Microsoft's text prediction features are enabled. It is absurdly easy to disable Microsoft's predictive typing, which is far inferior to Lightkey's AI learning program. So the fix was simple, and I have not experienced any issues since disabling it. I cannot think of anything that I dislike about the program or wish that it featured. Every time the company pushes out a new update with new features, I find something I didn't know I needed, but which is invaluable to my typing efficiency, nonetheless.

As noted above, Lightkey has bridged the gap between being efficient with my time and being precise with putting my thoughts into cogent, well-intentioned sentences. Dictation offered maximum efficiency on the front end, but then I would spend far more time editing and revising what I had dictated. With Lightkey, I do not sacrifice the efficiency on the front end of drafting, and because I am typing rather than dictating, my thoughts are expressed much more clearly the first time around. This means that I save substantial time on the back end with editing and revisions. It is ideal for my practice and my writing articles for journals and other publications.

As a professional writer and editor, I find the program extremely helpful and easy to use. It updates it's dictionary on the fly, and takes the work out of typing repetitive words and phrases.

The program tries guessing every word you type, which makes the pop-up suggestions at times annoying. But after I got used to it, it wasn't a big deal.

It helps me type faster, with less effort.

After a very easy and quick installation, I am asked about my preferred topics and industry. According to my answers, dedicated dictionaries are imported. Using Lightkey I can save a lot of time and stress when writing fast and reducing spelling and grammar mistakes. English is not my native mother language, here I benefit most. I can also backup and save my profile which is trained over the years. I also like that it not only helps in my Outlook Email but also when writing on the web, in Microsoft Applications, Gmail, Linkedin, Salesforce and much more.

I am working on multiple devices and my Pro License is only assigned to one machine. Multi machine support for one single user seems to be on the roadmap.

slow writing, auto-completion with phrases I use very often, reducing spelling and grammar mistakes

I think Lightkey is a fantastic product that helps me to type much faster and more accurately; picking up on all my typos and grammatical errors.

There isn't anything I dislike about Lightkey. I think it's a great product.

I have dyslexia and find that Lightkey is a great support in correcting my errors as I go and it makes it much quicker to complete my written tasks.

Lightkey predictive text software has made my life so much easier when drafting emails and documentation. Working in IT for a very long time, but using this software gives me the ability to type with confidence. Allows me to complete a draft of work (documentation) in less amount time than I would usually take.

No negative feedback, software just works. The only comment I would make is this product would be even better if updates auto-updated in the background.

Typing, in general, is very efficient and quick.

Obviously it's great for improving the spelling in my documents, but what I really love is the facility to predict my most commonly used text, such as email opening sentences. I'm not a great typist (or speller) and it saves me work, and minimises my mistakes. The Productivity Metrics really reinforce the fact that it's actually helping me, and more than offsets the small amount of effort it takes to get used to using Lightkey.

Nothing to dislike, just wish it was on all my devices.

Lightkey makes me more efficient and accurate, which is great for productivity and professionalism.

I installed the app on my PC and was amazed at how many places it suddenly started working - LinkedIn, Slack, Word, etc. Basically as I was typing a few words or even sentences would show up and with one keystroke I could take the suggestion. I would say it was about 50/50 in terms of what I accepted but as you use it (I specified technology when I installed it so I assume it sets its suggestions based on my industry) the app gets smarter and more accurate.

I have to admit, it takes some time to get used to. I've been typing a very exact specific way for decades now so to shift my typing in real time and accept/reject suggestions really took me a couple of days to get used to. I don't know how that could be overcome, the implementation is very good, it's just a 'break in period' where you need to be patient for a couple of days while you adjust to this new way of forming sentences (faster).

Not so much a 'problem' but basically I send 100+ emails a day, anything I can do to get things typed faster makes me more productive. The benefit of course is being able to do more with less time and fewer keystrokes.

I’ve been using Light key for almost two years now and I can’t imagine writing without it. I feel like Lightkey already knows me so well that it literally completes all my sentences.

No downsides that I can think of. It’s very unobtrusive and you don’t have to accept the predictions, but very quickly you’ll find that you will.

Productivity and speed in writing.

Best of all, you can use it without having to open a separate piece of software. The app works flawlessly with Microsoft Office and Google Chrome, and you can trigger the Lightkey Anywhere function to have it humming along in any application. Compatible with more than 80 languages, the program is also available offline—removing any concern your work will be uploaded to the cloud.

pricing is a little steep i dont think i'd want to pay 30-50 dollars for a text editor where there is alot of sublime text with dev packages achieving the same thing

Used it and gave it a try when finalizing one of my projects internally and tried it out. It is a good tool to play around with but totally upto the user what they find fit.

It also corrects grammatical errors and suggests interesting words. Also, often you don't need to enter full text; just by pressing 'enter' the whole word is written automatically

None so far. Every feature has been very useful to me.

Helps me make less mistakes, and write faster

As someone who spend a lot of time typing out extensive summaries of educative books, writing articles and too many E-mails (as of late), Lightkey.io is a blessing since I discovered and implemented it about two years ago. Since Lightkey keeps track of how much time you have saved literally, by using the suggested words and combination of words, it is astonishing to see the saved up time after a few months. It takes a short bit of time to use Lightkey to its full potential due to my old typing habits, but I have come to the point that I feel I waste precious time typing E-mails and notes on other devices without Lightkey installed. I am always looking for ways to improve my knowledge, my efficiency, my routines. I am always looking for ways to automate tasks work- and not-work-related. With the features Lightkey offers, Lightkey has become an essential cogwheel in my system.

There is not much to dislike, but if I have one suggestion for improvement it is this: As someone with the luxury of an extensive set-up of devices (3 Desktop PC's, 1 Laptop, 1 Surface Pro Tablet and 2 Smart Phones) I really wish there is a more friendly subscription option for one sole user available. To make use of Lightkey on more than one device you are required to buy additional licenses for each device on which you want to make use of Lightkey. I understand the business model completely. Although I can only be active on one (or two including my phone) devices at a time. Personally I do not want to purchase more than two licenses because of that. Especially when it is for devices I make use of only a few days a year effectively and incidently. There are different other-related software products (e.g., Evernote, Netflix) out there with a subscription plan which gives the consumer the option to make use of a product on additional devices with 1 license, 1 subscription fee. That said, Lightkey offers really affordable lifetime subscription plans. And 1-year subscription plans with discounts for more multiple (2-10) devices.

I decreased the time between words forming in my head and generating the words as output on screen! Repetitive lines and words are suggested c.q. auto-completed with just a keystroke (TAB), resulting in a significant increase in productivity and output. I make less mistakes with the spelling of complex business-related research terms since Lightkey auto-completes what I am aiming for.

This software considerably shortened and improved my typing. In my line of work I send out a lot of email and write a lot of documents and reports, and Lightkey has allowed me to get this done faster, and with a higher quality of writing using its predicitions. I have the Pro version, and it's completely worth it.

Migrating Lightkey licenses to another computer.

It allows me to quickly draft up email answers, and improves my language in documents I write at work.

Two things: 1) the prediction quality and 2) the way it fixes typos. Item 2 especially is a game changer. I've increased my typing speed substantially due to how good it is.

It'd be great if the product was available on multiple sites and apps that it's not on today. Perhaps a bigger issue is that it's windows only, so gettting a Mac is off the table for me for now.

Making me type much faster and fix my errors in a split second. It can handle almost any typing speed and precision relatively trivially.

I find Lightkey is super smart and adapting.

Nothing comes to mind. I know it's not compatible with Mac.

Lightkey quickly adapts to my style and the content I'm working on. I get much more writing done in short periods of time. For some of my more repetitive emails or documents, I hardly type anything at all.
