From Easy-Key Manual

Initial Comments

Here are some initial comments from those using the program for the first time:

• "We have now viewed the demo fully and read the release notes in full so are going to get cracking with Easy-KeyEdit in earnest - we think that it is a brilliant idea." (R&L)
• "I opened a current file (Sotho 89) in Easy-KeyEdit and was impressed with the keycode/Unicode conversion - I can see that it will be very useful when we can use it 'for real'." (AS)
• "I have managed to successfully download Easy-Key, and have keyboarded my first paragraph using it and the font Charis SIL - I have found it very good." (B)
• "Congratulations on the new program! It's good to see the actual thing on the screen, its not so cluttered." (E)
• "I have used the program and it works great." (D)
• "I find it very user friendly and prefer it to Notepad, as diacritics are seen in the way they will be finally printed." (R)
• "The main thing I found out with Easy-KeyEdit is that it makes your copy look a lot neater." (S)
• "Now that I am used to using Easy-KeyEdit I think its biggest advantage is that you actually see what you have typed therefore the checking process is much easier." (L)
• "I love the program. It is so much easier to proof because you are comparing the original to the typed and not having to mentally figure out the substitutions." (A)
• "I have found it quite straightforward to use. What I like about it is you can see the text as it really is and not be cluttered up with all the coding signs. This is a real boon for checking work as you go." (E)
• "It certainly has made it a lot easier to insert words into the translation. Certainly a lot more straightforward than using Keyman!" (A)(Translator)
• "Having had a brief look at Easy-Key I found it very easy to use and, having been involved with this work for over ten years, it was amazing to see text appearing as it should look!" (S)

Later Comments

• "I find it very easy to use! I don't know of any way you can improve it." (B)
• "I really like Easy-KeyEdit." (Several users have made this comment.)

• "Very easy to use, and user friendly." (R)
• "I'm very happy with Easy-KeyEdit. As its name says, it is easy to use and so far I've not had any difficulties. It's a great help to see the characters on screen the way they look in the text: it makes checking that much simpler. I can't immediately think of any improvements." (J)
• "I have found it to be very useful and very helpful to my keyboarding, and, at this stage, I cannot think of any possible improvements to suggest." (B)
