Cecil,
Years ago, I came across some software that someone was developing, and I believe it was Asante Twi. I saved it somewhere but this was more than 5 laptops ago. I have no idea where it is.
I am sure things will get better for these producers and artists.
If I were in Ghana, I could help them out. Really, I could.

The kumawood movie script are very weak in acting and narration.poor lighting effect and sound quality. For the fact the some one is comical doesn't necessarily makes him or her an actor. I will also remember my favorite Love Brewed in Africa Pot. This is where the Ghana film industry should and assist with script writing and give it a professional touch.

Sincerely those films make me puke. The sad part of it is that it carries Ghana's name with it. Such awful distasteful lack-luster infantile nonsense that will not pass as a primary school child's video presentation in Togo or Burkina is flagged as the best thing that ever happened to the film industry in Ghana. Ekow Smith is my hero.

You are also gratuitous in your use of words. Sometimes, you throw them in to score points, but in the process only end up rendering the entire sentence ineffective.
Surely, you can do better!

Kumawood? I don't think the Ghana movie industry has officially nicknamed the industry as such. last time I read here on ghanaweb that they were looking at doing that with some voices in the industry opining that it doesn't have to be 'wood' anything and calling for originality. it appears the author has unilaterally decided to call it as such.

This article is apparently english, but is so poorly written that it is incomprehensible. Ironic that the reporter is commenting on spelling and grammar.
For example:
"Although what pertains in the movie industry is not his funeral, he argued sensibly on its issues."
What is this supposed to mean?
And:
" However, he thinks we all must help bale the waters of pitfalls of the industry before it gets to the kneel level."
Wow - one bales hay but should bail water. What is the "kneel level"?
Better stick to twi. Please!

You are right of course. And MSword will prioritise the most frequently used characters. I don't know how, but one probably can create one's own keyboard shortcuts to avoid travelling to the Insert Symbols box.
