Automatic language changer program. Automatic Keyboard Switcher - Punto Switcher

Good day everyone!

It would seem like such a small thing - switch the keyboard layout, press two ALT+SHIFT buttons, but how many times do you have to retype a word because the layout has not changed, or you forgot to press it in time and change the layout. I think that even those who type a lot and have mastered the “touch” method of typing on a keyboard will agree with me.

Probably, in this regard, utilities have recently become quite popular that allow you to change the keyboard layout automatically, that is, on the fly: you type and don’t think about it, and the robot program will change the layout in time, and at the same time correct errors or gross typos. It is precisely such programs that I wanted to mention in this article (by the way, some of them have long become indispensable for many users)…

Punto Switcher

Without exaggeration, this program can be called one of the best of its kind. Almost on the fly, it changes the layout, and also corrects an incorrectly typed word, corrects typos and extra spaces, gross errors, extra capital letters, etc.

I would also like to note its amazing compatibility: the program works in almost all versions of Windows. For many users, this utility is the first thing they install on their PC after installing Windows (and in principle, I understand them!).

Add to everything else an abundance of options (the screenshot is shown above): you can configure almost every little thing, select buttons for switching and correcting layouts, customize the appearance of the utility, set up rules for switching, specify programs in which you do not need to switch layouts (useful, for example, in games), etc. In general, my rating is 5, I recommend it to everyone without exception!

Key Switcher

A very, very good program for auto-switching layouts. What captivates you most about it: ease of use (everything happens automatically), flexibility of settings, support for 24 languages! In addition, the utility is free for individual use.

Works in almost all modern versions of Windows.

By the way, the program corrects typos quite well, corrects random double capital letters (users often do not have time to press the Shift key when typing), when changing the typing language, the utility will show an icon with the country’s flag, which will notify the user.

In general, using the program is comfortable and convenient, I recommend you check it out!

Keyboard Ninja

One of the most famous utilities for automatically changing the keyboard layout language when typing. Edits typed text easily and quickly, saving you time. Separately, I would like to highlight the settings: there are quite a lot of them and the program can be customized, as they say, “for yourself.”

Keyboard Ninja settings window.

Main features of the program:

auto-correct text if you forget to switch layout;
replacing keys for switching and changing languages;
translation of Russian-language text into transliteration (sometimes a very useful option, for example, when your interlocutor sees hieroglyphs instead of Russian letters);
notifying the user about a change in layout (not only with sound, but also graphically);
the ability to customize templates to automatically replace text when typing (i.e. the program can be “trained”);
sound notification about switching layouts and typing;
correction of gross typos.

To summarize, the program can be given a solid four. Unfortunately, it has one drawback: it has not been updated for a long time, and, for example, errors often start to appear in the new Windows 10 (although some users do not have problems in Windows 10, so here, depending on your luck)…

Arum Switcher

A very skillful and simple program for quickly correcting text that you typed in the wrong layout (it cannot switch on the fly!). On the one hand, the utility is convenient, on the other hand, it may not seem so functional to many: after all, there is no automatic recognition of the text being typed, which means that in any case you have to use the “manual” mode.

On the other hand, not in all cases and not always you need to immediately switch the layout; sometimes it even gets in the way when you want to type something non-standard. In any case, if you are not satisfied with the previous utilities, try this one (it will definitely be less annoying).

By the way, I cannot help but note one unique feature of the program that is not found in analogues. When there are “unclear” characters on the clipboard in the form of hieroglyphs or question marks, in most cases this utility can correct them and when you paste the text, it will be in normal form. Isn't it convenient?!

Anetto Layout

Website: http://ansoft.narod.ru/

Quite an old program for switching the keyboard layout and changing the text in the buffer, and you can see what the latter will look like (see example below in the screenshot). Those. You can choose not only to change the language, but also the case of letters, do you agree that it is sometimes very useful?

Due to the fact that the program has not been updated for quite some time, new versions of Windows may experience compatibility problems. For example, the utility worked on my laptop, but it did not work with all the features (there was no auto-switching, but the rest of the options worked). So, I can recommend it to those who have old PCs with old software, but for the rest, I think it won’t suit...

That's all for me today, happy and fast typing everyone. Best wishes!

Hello, dear readers of the blog site. Today I want to continue the conversation about useful programs.

In fact, when working with website design, when adding new materials, we definitely use a number of auxiliary utilities - unnoticeable, but which have already become almost irreplaceable. For example, our today's hero is used to switch keyboard layouts and is called Punto Switcher. I won’t exaggerate if I say that the vast majority of RuNet users probably already have it.

Punto Switcher is a very convenient, simple and, importantly, reliable program that allows you to forget about how you actually switch the keyboard layout on your computer. But in addition to its main function, it also has a number of quite convenient functions, such as transliterating the contents of the clipboard, saving its history (the last 30 copies to the clipboard), forcing a keyboard layout change, autocorrect (you can assign frequently used words and phrases to hot keys) and much more.

Features of the free Punto Switcher program

Of course, most of the additional features of Punto Switcher are also available in other programs, but this utility is already installed on your computer and will be loaded along with the operating system anyway. Therefore, I personally find the set of features that it provides quite convenient, with the exception of only the function of saving the clipboard history. For this purpose, I use another program (Clipdiary), the capabilities of which will also be described at the end of this article.

So, Punto Switcher has always been a free program. Personally, I’ve been using it for about ten years and have become so accustomed to it that working on a computer without it not only causes me discomfort, but downright infuriates me and over time can drive me crazy. In general, I don’t quite understand why the great and terrible Melkosoft shouldn’t pre-install a similar feature in its operating system, because it’s very convenient not to bother with which keyboard layout you’re currently trying to type text in.

Some time ago the program development team Punto Switcher came under the wing of Yandex, who has since been tirelessly promoting it even on his own, and I think that Yandex has its own reason for this.

I won’t say that Bar is a bad addition, but Yandex’s interest here is obvious - to popularize its search and at the same time be able to collect statistics on user behavior on the sites they visit. Do you remember about and the associated new way of assessing the quality of content on a site? There are different Bars there and can be one of the sources of collecting this very data. But this in no way diminishes the merits of the Punto Switcher, and you can refuse to install an additional set. We have a democracy after all.

That. you can always download Punto Switcher absolutely free and at the same time, do not fear that a rootkit or Trojan may be introduced into a free utility, because it is not anyone who is responsible for this, but the “Runet mirror” itself. After installation, it will automatically be added to startup and will delight you with the appearance of the corresponding tray icon after each startup of the operating system.

That's it, now you can forget (forget) which hot keys on your computer were used to activate the keyboard layout switch. Punto will analyze the characters you enter on the fly and if such a combination of letters is statistically unlikely for the currently installed keyboard layout, then it will occur automatic switching even while you are typing word symbols.

Switching the layout will be accompanied by a sound signal, similar to carriage return on a typewriter. If, while typing a word, the Punto Switcher program fails to finally decide on the desired language, then it will definitely do so when you press the spacebar. She also makes mistakes, but quite rarely.

However, you always have the option to manually change the selected layout. To cancel an incorrect selection, simply press the key on the keyboard Pause/Break. True, this can only be done for the last word typed, until you have yet started typing the next one. This is somewhat inconvenient, but you can get used to it.

Probably, it is precisely because of the sometimes occurring errors when choosing a keyboard layout and the lack of knowledge of how this can be influenced that there are still haters of Punto Switcher who are prejudiced towards this program. But still she has many more fans. Therefore, let's try to go through its settings and consider the additional features that it provides us (besides switching layouts).

So, by default, Punto will launch automatically when the operating system boots and it will live in the tray (bottom right) in the form of an icon with a visual display of the typing language currently used. Therefore, you can deactivate the language bar that is displayed in Windows by default.

To access the Switcher settings, you need to right-click on the icon of this program and select “Settings” from the context menu:

There is nothing particularly interesting on the general settings tab:

True, at the bottom of the settings window you have the opportunity to assign your own hotkeys to manually switch keyboard layouts different from what you had selected in Windows. Personally, I haven’t used manual switching of layouts since I first installed Punto Switcher on my computer. It never occurred to me to uncheck “Auto switching”, because then why would I need this utility.

Clipboard manager in Punto Switcher and Clipdiary

The only thing I changed was to remove the check mark from the “Show helpful tips” box. On the Advanced tab, you can check or uncheck the box "Monitor clipboard":

Punto Switcher has a so-called clipboard manager that can save the last thirty additions to it. If you check the box shown in the screenshot, the program will begin storing a stack of the thirty most recent copies to the buffer. You can access the contents of this manager in several ways:

By calling the clipboard manager in one way or another, you will see its contents:

That. to paste something previously saved into the buffer into the desired place, you need to place the mouse cursor in this place, call up the clipboard history view in Punto (it is best to set it first to a hotkey combination), find the line with the fragment you are interested in and click on it mouse. In general, everything is simple.

The Windows operating system clipboard itself stores data transferred to it directly in RAM and erases an old entry when a new one is added. This leads to two main disadvantages of the standard Windows tool:

inability to add several fragments to the clipboard at once
When the computer restarts or crashes, data from the standard clipboard is lost

In fact, when constantly working with texts, it is very often necessary to use the history of the clipboard. The add-on to Punto Switcher described just above solves these problems, but I personally think the stack of thirty values is too small, and there are not enough search functions for the buffer history.

Therefore, in addition to Punto Switcher, I also use a separate program. For personal, non-commercial use, this utility can be download for free. It will automatically register itself in autoload and all you have to do is set a hotkey combination in its settings to open a window with the history of the clipboard.

To do this, left-click on the Clipdiary icon with a yellow folder and select “File” - “Settings” from the top menu.

Now everything that you copy to the clipboard using ctrl+c and ctrl+x, as well as through the context menu, will be saved on your hard drive in the Clipdiary database. In the settings, you can set the number of stored records from the clipboard and, if necessary, clean the database:

In Clipdiary you can search through the history of the buffer and, what is not unimportant, everything that you now copy into it will be stored not in volatile memory, but on the hard drive. This once saved me from re-writing part of an article when an unexpected power surge forced the computer to reboot.

Transliteration in Punto Switcher, case change and autocorrect

But let's return to Punto Switcher. So, as you can see, in its settings it is possible to attach quite a lot of actions to hotkeys, except for showing the clipboard history, which we have already discussed in detail.

I still really like it and I use it all the time - auto-correct option:

You assign a key combination and paste any text, code, etc. onto it. I personally use autocorrect quite actively and I have many combinations configured in Punto Switcher (for all occasions). For example, I can touch-type quite quickly (thanks to ), but only on the Russian keyboard layout. But I have troubles with the Latin alphabet.

Therefore, I preferred to put all the terms in Latin, which I often use in many articles, on the autocorrect hotkeys in Punto (for example, the words Joomla, WordPress, VirtueMart, WebMoney, Html and others).

I’m already almost blindly entering the given combinations to insert the desired word, while typing the same word in the Latin layout causes me some inconvenience (I need to rise from the lying position of the computer chair to the sitting position and begin the unusual process of searching for the necessary keys on the keyboard).

I also periodically add links to new publications in old articles that would be appropriate in the course of the story. Thus, I improve such an important promotion factor as internal linking. It is more convenient for me to make changes to texts in, because there is the possibility of rolling back. But notepad++ does not have a visual editor, and therefore, to insert a hyperlink, I would have to write its code every time according to all the rules of the Html language.

P.S. Now I have discovered the WebEdit plugin in Notepad++, which adds the buttons I need to the toolbar:

AutoCorrect in Punto Switcher allows you to automate this process by attaching the opening and closing Html tags of links to two hotkey combinations. To do this, you need to click the “Add” button in the settings (see the screenshot above) and enter the desired sequence of characters, which will then be replaced with the text or code fragment you need:

When you have configured all the autocorrect combinations you need, you can select in the Punto Switcher settings which button will be used to perform it. There are two options, of which the first one suits me best (Enter or Tab), because... Autocorrect by pressing the spacebar sometimes worked for me in the wrong place.

Now, based on our example, we can insert two letters X in a row “xx” in the text (or two “hch” in the Russian layout), and then press the “Tab” key on the keyboard.. In my opinion, this is very convenient. Yes, there are many programs that implement autocorrect, but you already have Punto Switcher installed and you don’t need to mess up the operating system with anything else.

Now let's go to the settings again and go to the "Hot Keys" tab. The most interesting things there seem to me to be the already assigned combinations in the first four lines:

I have already mentioned the first of them - this is canceling the erroneous switching of the layout using the “Pause/Break” key. Punto Switcher sometimes makes mistakes, and if you notice this right away, you can press “Pause/Break” to change the layout of the last entered word. If you notice this later, you can highlight the desired word or words, and then press the hotkey combination "Shift+Pause/Break"— the layout of the highlighted words will change.

Sometimes it is necessary change the case of letters in a word to the opposite (for example, if you typed text with “Caps Look” turned on) and for this, Punto Switcher provides the “Alt+Pause/Break” hotkey combinations. You will need to select the entire word(s) or just a few problematic letters, and then press “Alt+Pause/Break” on the keyboard - the case of the selected letters will change to the opposite.

And, finally, another very convenient feature integrated into this utility, which I regularly use, is the ability to translate the language (i.e., not a direct translation, as, for example, in, but namely the replacement of Russian letters with Latin ones in sound). Transliteration is used to write Russian words in Latin letters. Why might this be necessary?

The whole point is that for search engines (in particular, Yandex), using transliteration in pages is a better option than using Russian characters or words in English. No, of course, transliteration will not give you a hundred points ahead, but it may be the last straw that allows you to get and stay in the Top of the search results. You should not neglect its use.

So, Punto Switcher allows you to instantly transliterate a selected fragment of Russian text. To do this, use a hotkey combination "Alt+Scroll/Lock". Fast and easy. Personally, I use this feature to transliterate the names of image files added to my blog content.

The fact is that optimizing images comes down not only to using the necessary ones, but it would also be advisable to use a transliteration of the same keys in the name of the image file.

In addition, you can use the possibility of instant transliteration using Punto Switcher in Joomla. The fact is that upon activation, you will have to fill out the “Nickname” field yourself when writing articles. The contents of this field will be added to the Url address of the page with this article and to improve search engine optimization it is best to use transliteration.

That. you can copy the title of the article in the “Nickname” field, place a dash between the words and transliterate the entire text using Punto Switcher (“Alt+Scroll/Lock”). Although I personally prefer to use a component that does all this automatically, there are cases when using this component is either ineffective or not possible.

In general, you will probably need to use transliteration, change layout and register using Punto hotkeys. Of course, you can say that everything I described in this article is trifles and meaningless trifles.

But here it is necessary to make allowances for the fact that these little things from the Punto Switcher arsenal bring a slight simplification to the routine that any webmaster does every day. Believe me, you will feel relief immediately and for a long time you will remember the kind words of the authors of the program for such insignificant, but very trifles that make life easier.

Good luck to you! See you soon on the pages of the blog site

How does automatic keyboard layout switch work?

Punto Switcher, while in the background, analyzes the characters typed on the keyboard and, when combined letters form a word that does not correspond to the language, switches the keyboard layout and suggests a word in a different layout, automatically replacing the characters already entered. If the program mistakenly switched the keyboard layout when entering a word, just press the "Break" key. The utility runs in the system tray, does not load the operating system and takes up virtually no space on your hard drive. If necessary, this button can be reassigned in the program settings to any other one. Punto Switcher has a detailed help service in Russian on how to use the utility. The Settings menu contains many additional useful options and features of Punto Switcher. Automatic launch of a program from Windows, checking for updates, useful tips, hot keys, switching rules, autocorrect, diary and many other useful settings.

While working on a computer, we often switch input languages. Sometimes, forgetting to switch to the desired language, you have to delete the entered text, switch and type it again. The free program Key Switcher is designed to automatically switch the input language when typing. The utility saves the user from unnecessary actions on the keyboard and saves time. Key Switcher analyzes the entered characters, recognizes what language the entered word should be in, and if the user forgot to change the keyboard layout, turns the typed text into characters of the desired language.

Automatic change of input language

For example, the user typed “crfxfnm” on the keyboard, Key Switcher immediately converts the text into “download” and the following characters will be entered in Russian, as if the user had switched the input language. The program corrects text layout automatically and manually (Break by default). If the program makes an error, the user can cancel the layout changes by pressing the BackSpace key. When a new window appears, Key Switcher will briefly display the flag of the country whose language is currently selected for input in the system. Using Key Switcher, you can change the keyboard language by pressing one key (left Ctrl by default). The program is self-learning; Key Switcher analyzes user actions related to the keyboard layout and learns from them. Key Switcher can also change the first or all letters of a word to upper and lower case, as well as remember passwords to protect against accidental switching when entering a password. For security purposes, passwords are not saved; only a digital sequence is stored, which does not allow it to be recovered, but is sufficient to determine whether the password was entered. Another great feature of the program is the automatic replacement of key letters with a word or an entire phrase, according to a template defined by the user. For example, if the user types "dosv" and presses the spacebar, "Goodbye" will appear instead of "dosv". Well, if the user’s spelling is poor, Key Switcher will correct grammatical errors.

Instructions

If you are working in Microsoft Office Word, make sure you are using the correct settings. Launch the program and click on the Office button in the upper left corner of the window. In the context menu, click on the “Word Options” button (located in the lower right corner of the menu). A new dialog box will open.

Go to the “Spelling” section by left-clicking on it. Click on the “AutoCorrect Options” button in the group of the same name. An additional dialog box will open. Make sure you're on the AutoCorrect tab and uncheck the "Correct keyboard layout" box. Apply the new settings with the OK button in all open windows.

Also, switching layouts occurs automatically if a utility designed for this, for example, Punto Switcher, is installed on your computer. To temporarily disable shift language, right-click on the utility icon in the notification area on the taskbar. Do not confuse the Punto Switcher icon with the standard Windows language bar icon. The icon you need looks like either a Russian or American flag, or the letters RU and EN on a blue and red background.

In the context menu, uncheck the “Auto switch” item. After this change language will occur after you press the assigned hotkeys. To completely disable the utility, right-click on its icon and select “Exit” from the drop-down menu. If the Punto Switcher icon does not appear on the taskbar and you are uncomfortable managing the utility, set the necessary settings.

In the Punto Switcher folder, click on the punto.exe icon. The settings window will open. In the General section of the General tab, check the Show icon on taskbar box and apply the new settings. If necessary, you can create additional parameters for changing the keyboard layout in the “Switching rules” section.

automatic keyboard layout change

By default, the Microsoft Word text editor and Microsoft Excel tables have AutoCorrect mode enabled, which corrects some common user errors: two capital letters at the beginning of a word, Caps Lock enabled, and others. Not everyone likes this service, and you can quickly disable it if you wish.

Instructions

Sometimes the user needs to disable the Punto Switcher program while working. This need may be associated with entering a large number of character combinations - for example, passwords. Or with a game where you plan to actively use the keyboard. And also with passing touch typing training programs like “Solo on the Keyboard” - in it, when the Switcher is running, a problem arises related to the output of a different character when the correct key is pressed, which is counted by the program as an error.

You will need

Punto Switcher program.

Instructions

Find the Punto Switcher icon in the bottom right corner of your desktop. Depending on the program settings, it will look either like a flag or a designation of the current language - Ru or En.

Right-click this icon to bring up the list. In it, select Auto Switching, and click the left button to uncheck it. The application icon color will turn gray and the program will not automatically switch between layouts. The same action can be done in another way - left-click on the icon, and in the short drop-down list, select the same item - Auto Switch. Finally, you can simply exit Switcher - to do this, in the drop-down list that appears after right-clicking on the icon, select Exit and click on it.

You can start the program again using the shortcut; you can enable auto-switching by clicking again on the menu item of the same name.

Sometimes the application icon is not displayed. In this case:
-Use the Alt, Ctrl and Del key combination to bring up the computer lock menu instead of the desktop. Select "Task Manager" in it and left-click on it.
-Click on the “Processes” tab, which will be located in the “Task Manager” working window.
-Find the ps.exe process in this tab. Right-click on it to open the context menu and select End process.
Instead of the last action, you can also select the process by clicking the left button, and click on the "End process" button located in the right corner of the bottom part of the manager window. The application will be disabled.

In some cases, you will need to click "End Process" several times until Punto Switcher is completed and its name disappears from the list of processes.

note

In older versions of the application there will be a "Disable" option instead of the "Auto switch" item.

Helpful advice

If the application still switches the layout incorrectly, then just select the word and press the Shift + Break key combination to switch back.

For ease of use, the Windows operating system provides quick keyboard layouts between used languages. If the user considers this option unnecessary, he can disable it.

Instructions

When working on a computer, the need to switch the input language arises quite often - for example, when searching the Internet for the necessary information. Therefore, it is not recommended to disable this option. In addition, it does not interfere with comfortable work in any selected layout.

If you still decide to disable language selection, open “Start” - “Control Panel” - “Regional and Language Options”. Select the "Languages" tab, click the "More details" button. In the new window, click the “Keyboard Options” button, then “Change keyboard shortcuts” and uncheck the “Switch input languages” and “Switch keyboard layouts” checkboxes. Save the changes by clicking OK.

If you want to remove the layout indicator from the system tray, open the Task Manager (Ctrl + Alt + Del) and stop the ctfmon.exe process. Then delete the entry for this file from your startup folder. The most convenient way to do this is using the Aida64 (Everest) program. Open “Programs” - “Startup”, select ctfmon.exe in the list and click the “Delete” button at the top of the window.

You can also use CCleaner to disable or remove ctfmon.exe. Launch it, open “Tools” - “Startup”. Select the line with ctfmon.exe and click the “Disable” (recommended) or “Delete” button.

If you do not like the standard appearance of the keyboard layout switcher, replace it (after removing ctfmon.exe from startup) with the Punto Switcher utility. You can set it to display the layout by showing the Russian or US flag, which is very convenient - to determine the layout, just glance at the tray. In the program settings, select the items “Make an icon in the form of country flags” and “Always show the icon at full brightness.” You can download Punto Switcher for Windows XP and Windows 7 from the link: http://download.yandex.ru/punto/PuntoSwitcherSetup.exe.

how to change to switch

The problem of an unswitched keyboard layout literally haunts people conducting business correspondence, sending messages to the forum, and typing long texts in documents. To avoid having to retype text printed on the wrong keyboard layout, there is a popular program called Punto Switcher.

Punto Switcher: Smart Keyboard Layout Switcher

The first and, perhaps, main function of the software product, which was born almost ten years ago, is the automatic change of keyboard layout. In translation, punto switcher means “switching point.”

Moreover, Punto Switcher contains almost all the languages of the world, and it easily determines what exactly you wanted to type and in what layout. Determining the correct typing language occurs after typing 3-4 characters in an inappropriate layout.

In addition to the fact that the program switches the keyboard layout automatically, determining the desired language, letters typed in the wrong layout are also changed to the desired ones. This dramatically saves time and saves you from retyping text.

Punto Switcher is a smart program, but it's not perfect. Therefore, after installation, if necessary, you will need to learn the software a little, thereby saving yourself from false positives. The training is carried out through the settings, where you need to find a list of exception words and add frequently used abbreviations to it so that Punto Switcher does not react to them as typos.

While using the program, you can add to the list of exceptions if suddenly Punto does not recognize any of the words you type.

"Punto Switcher": an invisible spy

In addition to the function of changing the keyboard layout, the Punto Switcher program also has a diary option. It consists in the fact that the program will carefully record all keyboard keystrokes in a text file.

The diary in Punto Switcher can be useful for recovering accidentally deleted texts. For example, you were typing or working for a long time, and suddenly the electricity went out. An office program is often able to reproduce not all the text after a failure or not save the file at all, but the Punto Switcher diary “remembers” everything and will save you from having to type everything again.

The diary does not save text formatting, but this is not a big loss when restoring several dozen sheets of text that were not saved in the office package.

Some users also use the diary option in Punto Switcher to remember previously entered passwords. By the way, the diary itself can also be locked with a password so that no one but you can read your keyboard logs. Closing the diary with a password is done through the program settings, tab - “Diary”.

Gender reassignment is a complex and expensive operation that involves changing the genitals to the genitals of the opposite sex. As a rule, it is decided by adults over 30 years of age who do not have even a shadow of doubt about their true gender.

Instructions

Gender largely determines a person’s individuality; it is inherent in everyone from birth. Sometimes a child is born with congenital anomalies, that is, deformed genitals that are somewhere between male and female, or has genitalia of both sexes at once. Developmental anomalies are usually associated with hormonal imbalances, and with proper treatment they can be successfully overcome. In this case, parents or doctors immediately select the sex for him and operate. If the child's penis reaches 2.5 cm or more, he becomes a man, but if less, he becomes a woman. Even if a child has male chromosomes, it is easier for him to get used to the role of an infertile woman than to become an inferior man.

People who recognize themselves as members of the opposite sex also resort to gender reassignment surgery. For many years they have lived at odds with themselves and those around them, feeling like a different person. Since you can change gender only once, a person should not have even a shadow of doubt about this; the support of others and family is important.
