Hi there, I'm very interested in this app. Can you help me with the installation of this app. I have an iPhone 4s running the latest ios and ahp laptop running windows 7 and latest jaws. I clicked on the link in your original message. A diologue popped up asking me to allow the internet to open itunes. I allowed and then I clicked on free to download the app. A diologue popped up asking me to sign in with my apple id, which I did and then I clicked get. Now call me dense but now I'm lost what do I do next? Do I connect my iPhone where is the app how do I get it onto my desktop? You talk about pasting some url into somewhere, sorry I forget where, what url is this and where do I find it? Have I really confused you? I hope not because as you can surely see I'm very very confused maybe its just not my day, please help. Regards Zoe

This app allows you to type whatever you want on your Windows computer and have the text instantly show on your iDevice. You can send text from your iPod or iPhone with or without your iDevice being attached to your computer and you do not need iTunes running. Here's how you use this app. You type in a url into the Run dialogue of your Windows computer (you only have to do this once and save the path as a shortcut on your desktop etc). You are then presented with a very simple and easy to use screen with a single edit field. You type in your message into the edit field then down arro to a send button, and your text will instantaneously show on the TextSync app on your iOS device. You can now use the "Copy" button in the TextSync app to copy the text to the iOS clipboard and move the text into any other app. I launched Internet Explorer on my Windows desktop computer and copied a Wikipedia article with 137,000 characters and pasted in the desktop version of the TextSync edit field, and it took only a couple of seconds for the text to be copied to my iPod--it is definitely a fast little app. Again, it is important to Note that your iDevice does not have to be physically connected to your desktop at all. <Nice!>. Since I want to be able to fill my iPod with very important private information, I contacted the app developer to inquire about the security of his app. Here is his reply/explanation: "Hello, The security is ensured by P2P direct link via IP, thus there is no chance to perform a mid-person attack (which happens when you attempt to connect to a server by entering domain name, which need DNS servers to resolve the IP address). The direct link need no DNS server, and all your data stream remains on the local network, not over the Internet. You can rely on the Wi-Fi connection." Here is the link where you can read up on this app including a very good audio podcast on how to use this app. http://www.applevis.com/apps/ios/productivity/textsync-typing-computer Here is the link to the apps store: TextSync - Typing from computer on the App Store on iTunes https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/textsync-typing-from-computer/id866535807?mt =8&ign-mpt=uo%3D8 Oh yeah, though this app is $3 I'm using the free version, after the initial ad when starting the app, the additional very small ads at the bottom of the screen don't interfere with the use of this app at all. For $3, this is a great buy and sure to be one of my most used apps when I make the purchase. Joseph -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.
