Lightkey integrates seamlessly into Microsoft Word and provides the right suggestions almost every time. It feels intuitive and doesn't get in the way when I am writing. I always feel in control unlike the grammar and word suggestions of other programs.

Pros

The AI word engine. The light touch of the program The ease of integration with Microsoft Word.

Cons

I cannot at this time think of any cons with this software.

A part of what we generally do on a daily basis is writing custom proposals to a few prospective clients a day. Having 7 different people writing is 7 different styles makes the message a little complicated. Having the AI trained to predict a set pattern of words makes our emails a lot more professional. On top of having the ability to predict words on the fly, make corrections to spelling and grammar - it makes sending out emails a breeze. We also deal with a lot of written contracts that need to go out at quick turnaround times. Lightkey makes it possible to do this without having the clients wait for more than a reasonable amount of time. It really does let you have the cake and eat it too.

Pros

The AI learning feature is by far the most important feature we're paying for. Over time, it learns our writing style and also helps with improving the way we write. From emails to blog posts, productivity has gone up multiple folds. The spell-check, grammar correction and text prediction make it an extremely useful piece of software for any business.

Cons

We haven't really found anything wrong with Lightkey yet. When this happens, be sure of an update.

Kind of a larger (in MBs) download but went fast, really professional installer, seameless integrated - I literally downloaded, it installed and next thing I know everywhere I went it was just working.

Pros

I love the fact that a) you get to select your industry and it apparently uses some kind of set of logic and language applicable to that industry and b) that I did a single install and suddenly it was showing up in Office, LinkedIn, Slack, etc. etc. All over the place. And, of course, after 3-4 days of getting used to it I love that it saves me keystrokes - I spend all day at the keyboard so something that actually significantly reduces my keystrokes is a big deal to me. When you get to hit a single key and 4-8 words that work perfectly are inserted as your are typing in real time it definitely gets your attention!

Cons

Hmm - I think just that it took 2-3 days for me to get used to. I didn't realize it but after typing a certain way (with nothing predictive happening and not making a decision about what's coming next but just streaming it directly from my brain to the keyboard) I was more fixed in how I type than I understood. So as a result it took me upwards of a week to really get used to both typing my thoughts but also at the same time looking at the suggestions to make snap decisions.
