TextExpander (also known as TextExpander for Windows) is used to automatically insert commonly used phrases, text, or lines in an application. It comes in handy when you have to add text that you need frequently. Instead of typing same text multiple times, you can create a snippet using this software, and can add text in that snippet. For each snippet, you can set any abbreviation (like group of words or a single word) that helps to automatically insert text of that snippet.
TextExpander lets you insert text to almost any application, like MS Word, Notepad, WordPad etc. All you have to do is prepare snippets and use them.
Above screenshot shows interface of this software where you can create snippets and can insert text to those snippets. Snippet groups can also be created and used according to your requirement. If you want, all snippets can be exported to PC as *.textexpander file, and can import back to its interface whenever required.
Note: TextExpander is completely free for personal use and you can store upto 30 text snippets. If more than 30 snippets are used, than this product will be considered as commercial use, and you have to buy the product.
