Engst Houdah Software has updated [1]Type2Phone to version 2.4, adding a welcome compose window to the utility that lets you type on your iOS devices from your Mac. We haven't covered minor releases since my review a year ago (see '[2]Type2Phone: Use Your Mac as a Keyboard for iOS Devices,' 10 April 2013), but most of the new features until now have revolved around automatic device connections and keyboard shortcuts. That said, new in 2.2 was a Send Using Type2Phone option that's available from the Services menu when you select text in many applications. Type2Phone 2.4 goes one step further and adds a compose window (look in the Window menu) that enables you to write on your Mac and then send the results to your iOS device with the click of a button. ($4.99 new from the [3]Mac App Store, free update, 800K) References 1. http://houdah.com/type2Phone/ 2. http://tidbits.com/article/13691 3. https://itunes.apple.com/app/type2phone/id472717129?mt=12&at=10l5PW .
