      Hi, just wanted to say to the above poster, Shamim:
      I recently installed 16.04 and also couldn’t get typecatcher to work.
      I was able to use the trusty “force” command to get it going…

      sudo add-apt-repository ppa:andrewsomething/typecatcher
      sudo apt-get install -f typecatcher

      Hope this helps you.
