Frequently Asked Questions

How do I type type an accented character with Type Accents?

To type an accent, press and hold the Type Accents trigger key (normally the right hand Alt key) and then press the letter key.  It is a bit like typing capital letters - you type a capital letter by pressing the Shift key and the letter key at the same time - Type Accents is very similar, just press the right hand Alt key instead of the Shift key.

What languages can I type in with Type Accents?

When you install Type Accents you'll find 35 languages that we have set up for you, but you can also set up your own languages with as many characters as you need.

The 35 standard languages are Albanian, Catalán, Croation, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Esperanto, Estonian, Faroese, Finnish, French, Gaelic, German, Greek, Hawaiian, Hungarian, Icelandic, Irish, Italian, Latin, Latvian, Lithuanian, Maltese, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Slovenian, Sorbian, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish and Welsh.

The different character types available are Latin, Cyrillic, Greek, Fractions, Box Drawings, Numbers, Currency, General Punctuation, Mathematical Symbols, Accents, Symbols & Dingbats, Arrows and Block Elements & Geometric Shapes.

Can I choose more than 1 language to type in?

Of course, you can use Type Accents to type as many languages as you need.

How do I know which letter to press with Trigger Key (normally right hand Alt key)?

You should use the letter key that looks most like the character you want. e.g. if you want é, use e or for ä use a. Some characters are less obvious but we try and make it simple, for example to type æ you can use either a or e. If you are really not sure what letter a character belongs with press the space bar to see all your characters.

How long does the trial last for?

The trial period lasts for 10 days and lets you type an unlimited number of characters. The 10 day trial period will only start once you have typed 20 characters using Type Accents. You have an unlimited amount of time to type the first 20 characters. We've made the trial work like this to make sure that the trial does not run out before you've had time to properly use Type Accents.

What is the difference between the trial version and the full version?

The trial is a fully functional version of Type Accents Ultimate, the only difference is that the trial will only work for 20 characters + 10 days and displays a message warning you when the trial will expire - everything else is the same.

Is is safe to install the trial?

Absolutely, Type Accents is completely safe and will not harm your computer in any way. You can download in confidence.
