As you are well aware, we all make typical typing mistakes. In so far as these mistakes are recurrent, they can be anticipated and automatically corrected. This is the first job of the Atlantis AutoCorrect feature.

We also perform typical operations routinely. These can also be programmed in advance and performed automatically with minimal intervention on your part. This is the second job of the Atlantis AutoCorrect feature.
