QuickScript is a word expansion tool designed to help production typists and transcriptionists increase their productivity (and earnings) by saving keystrokes.

QuickScript allows you to create abbreviations for the words and phrases that you use most often. In conjunction with its auxiliary program, SuperClip, QuickScript can retain font and format information and even embedded graphics that you can recall by typing in your chosen abbreviation.

QuickScript also keeps track of which words you use most and suggests abbreviations for you to use. If you don't like an abbreviation that QuickScript creates for you, you can change it to whatever you want. You can also ignore it, in which case QuickScript will automatically delete it.

Word Endings allow you to create words with suffixes you define and use endings to create different forms of the same word. For instance, if you abbreviate the word "enjoy" with the letters "enj" then you can type "enjA" to get "enjoyable" or "enjM" to get "enjoyment." QuickScript also gives you Smart Endings for the endings "s", "ing", and "d".

Smart Endings allow QuickScript to follow some basic rules of English so that it can intelligently add endings to many words. For instance, if you type "writeG", QuickScript is smart enough to know to drop the "e" and expand this to "writing".

Smart Endings

Smart Endings are the Word Endings "S" for "es", "D" for "ed", and "G" for "ing" that require special handling. When you use one of these Smart Endings in your document, QuickScript will follow some simple English rules to add the proper ending. For instance, if you type "upsetG", QuickScript will know to double the "t" and expand the Short Form to "upsetting".
In the English language, there are exceptions to every rule. If you abbreviate a word that is one of those exceptions, QuickScript allows you to enter the correct spelling. This corrected spelling will be stored as part of your Word List. For instance, if you abbreviate "child" with "ch", typing "chS" will usually cause QuickScript to expand that to "childs". Using the Smart Endings option from the Edit menu, you can tell QuickScript to expand "chS" to "children."
