I try to practice my French by keeping in touch online with my Francophone friends. On my laptop keyboard I used to have so much trouble adding accents that I would sometimes copy and paste them from French websites. EasyType French Accents has really made typing in French very easy! I would recommend it to anyone who needs to type in French.
— Kathleen M., Thunder BayJ'enseigne le français langue étrangère depuis plusieurs années. Mes étudiants avaient toujours du mal à taper en français sur l'ordinateur à cause justement des accents qu'ils n'arrivaient pas à saisir facilement.

Here is a simple chart that shows all the possible accents:
