Check that conversion works

  1. Open TextEdit, Notes, or any app where you can type and select text.
  2. Switch to another keyboard layout and type hello. On a Russian layout this usually appears as руддщ. For Ukrainian, try Привіт while the English layout is active; it usually appears as Ghbdsn.
  3. Select the mistyped text and choose Convert Selected Text from the TypeSwitcher menu. The result should be hello.

If the text converts correctly, TypeSwitcher is installed and configured.
