Getting started

From download to typing in four steps

  1. Step 1: Open the installer

    Open TypeShort_V3.0.10.0.exe from your Downloads folder, or from your browser’s list of downloads.

  2. Step 2: Install TypeShort

    Follow the installer’s steps and leave “Run TypeShort after installation” ticked. TypeShort starts right away, and with Windows from then on.

  3. Step 3: Start your free trial

    TypeShort asks for your email address and emails you a one-time code. Enter it to start your 30-day trial. No credit card needed.

  4. Step 4: Type without the spacebar

    Open Word, Outlook, Gmail or any app and start typing. Press F3 to turn TypeShort on or off, and right-click its icon in the system tray for settings.

Questions before you start

Is the TypeShort download safe?

Yes. You download TypeShort's installer from typeshort.com: an .exe file for Windows or a .pkg file for Mac. Both are digitally signed by TypeShort, Inc., so Windows and macOS can confirm who made them and that nothing has changed since. On a Mac, TypeShort asks for Input Monitoring and Accessibility permission, because it has to see your keystrokes to add spaces and capitals as you type. What you type stays on your computer, and you can uninstall TypeShort at any time.
