What is Smartype?

Smartype, the pioneering predictive typing system also known as automated word completion, was developed by Joe and Maria Weber, with its patent filed in 1990 and granted four years later in 1994. This innovative tool has gained recognition as one of the 56 most important inventions to originate from Massachusetts, joining the ranks of other significant advancements like the telephone, the Internet, the founding of the first college, Facebook, and anesthesia. For an extended period, Smartype has been available at a price of $150, mainly attracting medical transcriptionists who have experienced a remarkable increase in efficiency, achieving a reduction in keystrokes by up to 70%. Recently, however, Narratek has chosen to make this software available for free, allowing a broader audience to benefit from its speed typing features. Users who have enjoyed the advantages of Smartype are encouraged to spread the word to their colleagues and friends so they can also experience the software's exceptional capabilities without any cost. It is important to note, though, that Narratek will not provide extensive support for the program moving forward, which could influence how users interact with the software. This shift not only democratizes access to the technology but also has the potential to revolutionize how people approach typing tasks in various fields.
