I use a text expander, a little program called PhraseExpress (basic version is free for non-commercial use). It lets you type a few characters and expands them into a long word or phrase, or corrects typos (like Word's autocorrect, except everywhere - and it can import Word's autocorrect list). It's also very handy for typing special characters. Depending on what you're typing, it could save you a lot of time.
