The average typing speed is about 40 words per minute<\/a>, which is equal to around 200 characters per minute. Also, according to research<\/a> by McKinsey, the average professional spends around 28% of the working day managing emails. Assuming that the average office worker\u2019s salary in the US is as much as $42,350<\/a>, email takes up $11,858 of the payroll per individual. That’s quite a lot! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what if someone told you there is a way to reduce the time and money spent on email and social media writing by 90%? That would definitely be great. But is this REALLY possible? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet Linguix Shortcuts, our brand-new feature that allows you to save $18 per hour and $10,600 a year on email writing by speeding up the writing process by 90%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How this works<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tired of repeatedly typing something like “Hi all, I’ve applied changed to the project. Looking forward to your feedback” on corporate emails, or “I’ve come across your profile, and thought it would be nice to connect” on LinkedIn? Now you can create a shortcut i.e. a template of an email, pitch, invite, or social media update, assign and then instantly insert it where needed by typing \/\/yourshortcut<\/strong>.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do I create my shortcut?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You will need a Linguix account. Then you’ll be able to login to our web app. In the left-hand menu choose the “Shortcut” menu. Then either browse through our system shortcuts library or create your own from scratch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the shortcut is saved, all you need to apply it on Gmail, LinkedIn, or any other website. To do this, install our browser extension (available for Chrome, Firefox, and MS Edge) and type \/\/yourshortcut<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
