Scan & Fix 50 registry issues FREECNET Editors' review
TypeIt4Me is a text-expansion and autocorrection utility, an app that can save you tons of time (and wrist strain) by automatically expanding frequently used words, phrases, and even images with just a few quick keystrokes.
Users have several good apps to choose from in this category, and TypeIt4Me is one of the best and longest-lived (with a successful track record that stretches past two decades). As with similar apps, you just type in a few letters to access your "clippings"--or you can even choose an abbreviation from TypeIt4Me in the menubar. You can set abbreviations to work system-wide or just in specific applications, and an AutoCue feature lets you use clippings with variable data (for example, a commonly typed sentence but with an embedded number that you can change on the fly). TypeIt4Me also gives you a fairly reliable AutoCorrect (using your Mac's spell checker), and you can easily define corrections for your most frequent errors.
TypeIt4Me still lacks some capabilities we'd like to see (such as easier, integrated syncing among machines), but overall it has an extremely useful and flexible feature set and--important for a pervasive app like this--proven stability.
Publisher's Description
From Riccardo Ettore:
Available since 1989, TypeIt4Me is the original text expander for Mac OS. Anytime you enter text in your Mac by typing it at the keyboard, TypeIt4Me can help you do it faster and more accurately. First you define a number of abbreviations and the full text (or picture) clippings that they represent, then you watch the Mac expand them on the fly even as you continue typing!
What's new in this version:
- Added ~ and ` to triggers in response to TappingBPP's comment on US Mac App Store.
- Fixed a bug that could potentially lead to saving clipping edits over contents of another abb.
- Fixed crash when expanding in apps that don't have the Edit menu.
- Restored "Strip 's' for plurals" functionality.
- Restored showing of licensee name in About dialog.
- Now handles adding esc and nbs when clicking All in the Triggers preference tab.

"Does the job"
Version: TypeIt4Me 5.0.6
Pros
Excellent text expansion
Cons
Autocorrect has to be turned off: too many "corrections" of unusual words.
Summary
I like for the text expansion.
-
"My most valued utility!"
Version: TypeIt4Me 5.0.6
Pros
I've been using Typeit4me for many years. It has saved me many, many hours of drudgery. I use it to type long technical terms that I always misspell as well as entire paragraphs of frequently used boilerplate. It works in every application I use.
Cons
I really cannot think of any downside to this application.
Summary
A god-send to those who write manuscripts. If you use a word processor you need Typeit4me!

"Indispensable tool"
Version: TypeIt4Me 5.0.6
Pros
Easy to use, fool proof, great time saver. What a perfect application. I use it numerous times every day to save hours of repetitious typing, and I'm a fast typist. I can't imagine not having it.
Cons
None, but if your bought this from the App store then that is where the updates must come from, not from the TypeIt4Me's web site.
Summary
Thumbs up! Get it. You won't be sorry for this solid and totally trouble free app.
