do you use any system to read/write faster(speed reading/autocompleter)?

JaneDC:
For speed reading I use Zap Reader. It is invaluable when I am trying to catch up on my RSS feeds. It is highly customizable for a simple web app. I showed it to a buddy of mine, who showed it to a school teacher, who now incorporates it into her grade school reading curriculum. There is a introductory video on the Zap Reader home page.

I just tried to zap read this forum and it took about 2 minutes just to get to the actual posts. Useless!  :P

Darwin:
Although I have an intellicomplete type proggie installed (a number of them, in fact), I don't use this feature as I "read and type plenty fast already"  :P

urlwolf:
ok, ok, maybe I should have said 'autocomplete in places other than code'. everybody uses autocomplete with code, what I mean is to use autocomplete with any text you write (emails, word processor docs, etc).

I've left a comment about Speech Dasher on the article in your link. I really would love something that would allow me to transcribe recorded speech faster.

IMO, Dasher is the easiest and most pleasant predictive system to learn, but it's not really fast.


Dasher disambiguating speech recognition would be really cool.  :P

I've tried the autocomplete in Word and OpenDoc, but sometimes it's more trouble than it's worth. What I'm looking for is a batch appraoch - a little program that takes a plain text file written in abbreviations, together with a file containing expansions, and displays the expanded text with the expansions highlighted allowing me to click on any that are inappropriate and revert them to the original text.

Some sources for abbreviations:
