If guessed by SB correctly, you need to just press Insert/ Alt key to get that auto-suggestion auto-typed. Newer auto-suggestions may even be auto-learnt from the user's written texts (along 20 user-paths or 80 languages). Defining & using up to 10,000 direct 3-key shorthand are also possible. Also able to auto-form usual symbols & even South-Asian 'conjunct-consonants' (juktakshar), and displaying font-specific onscreen keyboards, SB is even more useful for non-English typing. SB exports its typed text as HTML-output, to be copied using any Internet-browser into any word-processor (for final use therein). SB v5.8.3 is simpler, faster and practically a freeware!
