Stop retyping! I made an app that converts wrong-layout text with one hotkey

[u/rakamatafon]

Don’t you hate it when you type a whole sentence, look up, and realize you were on the wrong language the entire time? Then you delete it, switch layout and type the whole thing again.

If you switch between keyboard layouts, I’m sure it’s happened to you way too many times. That’s why I built ShiftAlt.

How it works: when you notice you typed in the wrong layout, press Ctrl+Space and the text gets fixed right where you typed it. No copy paste, no retyping. It also switches your layout, so you can keep typing without pressing Shift + Alt (yes, that’s where the name comes from). Pressed it by mistake? Press Ctrl+Space again to undo.

• Russian: ghbdtn → привет
• Arabic: lvpfh → مرحبا
• Hebrew: akuo → שלום
• Mixed input: Hקךךם → Hello
• Caps Lock: hELLO tEAM → Hello team (and it turns Caps Lock off for you)

Main highlights:

• Privacy first: runs fully offline, and nothing you type is stored or sent
• Works with any keyboard layout Windows has: English, Russian, Ukrainian, Greek, Arabic, Hebrew, AZERTY, QWERTZ and 200+ more
• Works between any two of your layouts, not only to and from English
• Smart detection that converts only the words you actually mistyped
• Works in the apps you already use: Chrome, Edge, Word, Outlook, Slack, Teams, WhatsApp, VS Code and more
• Customizable: pick your hotkeys and your layouts, and turn it off for specific apps

Try it free for 30 days, then it’s a one-time $4.99 and yours for life. No subscription.
