Or have a boilerplate document they copy and paste from: This is about the most essential software you can use. All you have to do is create a text snippet and use your set code to auto-pop your words into an email, report, document, etc. > > **Cons**: More of a caution than a con: If you are using this software across devices, make sure that they are all within the same update. Otherwise, your snippets will not sync properly. > > I started working with an author, who is a devotee to TextExpander. After using this product for his items, I realized just how essential it is for my other clients. It is high on my list of "suggested applications", which I submit to my clients upon onboarding. ----- ### "TextExpander saved me HOURS" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *13 May 2022* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Shortcuts are easy to use and very customizable. Loved the suggestion features and time saved tracking features. > > **Cons**: No much really, it did a very good job at what I needed to do. > > I loved it, and I recommend it highly to anyone in a role where you need to type and send a lot of emails\! ----- ### "Complicated and hard to fit into workflow" — 3.0/5 > **Ravi** | *20 November 2018* | Professional Training & Coaching | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: The promise of textexpander is great. Whatever repetitive tasks you have may be automated by creating templates of what text to provide and recalling these templates during your various workflows. If you are committed to setting it up properly and forcing yourself to adapt to use the various shortcuts required to recall these templates throughout your work-day, it can work great for you. > > **Cons**: I found the software too inconvenient and difficult to use as part of my daily workflows. I found it easier to just create a few email templates (save them as drafts) and use them when needed. Perhaps for someone with more advanced needs, the softeare would be more useful. ----- ### "How did I ever live without this?" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *15 October 2020* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: This software makes me super productive and saves me SO. MUCH. TIME. I love it and I love showing people how it works -- it blows their mind that you can produce 500 words of a pre-written response by typing a tiny code\! This is the best kept secret out there for productivity. > > **Cons**: There isn't a lot I don't like about this software\! The only bad thing happened when I subscribed to some user groups and received weird messages. I just unsubscribed and they were gone. > > The whole concept was foreign to me when I first started using it, but after a short while, it becomes a routine, and then a few months later -- you will never, ever, ever be without it again for the rest of your professional life. If you find yourself typing things over and over again, you must have this app. It is simply awesome\!\!\! ----- ### "An essential app for writers and editors" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *11 March 2021* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: This app saves me so much time in generating content so I don’t have to constantly type the same things over and over. In fact, the app enables me to create content once and use it endlessly in different ways. It’s a huge time-saver\! > > **Cons**: Sometimes, snippets don’t seamlessly work from one platform to another. Sometimes, the snippets produce weird results depending on the app I’m using at the time. While I like it’s use of AppleScript to create executable actions, I wish more had been focused on how to customize and call up different snippets in various contexts. > > Love it. It’s an essential part of my daily workflow. ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/196195/textexpander?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/196195/textexpander) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
