Type in another language

You're studying a foreign language and you need to type a paper, or you want to send an email to a foreign pen pal. You could commit dozens of keyboard shortcuts for foreign accents to memory, or you could just use AX.

This program allows you to type language accents with just one key. Open the program, select the unaccented character in Word, hit F8 and voilà! For letters with multiple accent marks - such as the Spanish U - you can cycle through the options by pressing F8 until you find the accent you want.

The program allows you to use accents from two different languages at once. A small menu sits next to your document so you can change languages on the fly.

Note: Internet Explorer 9 won't recognize this program and may give you a warning. Rest assured, your newfound language proficiency will come with no viruses attached.

Cost: Free
Systems: Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7
