Reviewed by: Jason Parker on November 10, 2009
Autotyping and autocorrecting applications can be huge time-savers, sparing you from having to retype frequently used words and phrases (and even paragraphs and pictures), and they can instantly clean up your most common typos--plus, they work system-wide, providing you with functionality that might otherwise be limited to your word processor.
Typinator is a best-in-class example of this kind of app, with an easy-to-manage interface, above-average stability, exceptional speed (keeping up with even extremely fast typists using large abbreviation sets), and the ability to handle multiple languages (with autocorrection for English, French, and German). Typinator has only gotten faster in recent updates, and the app has also added support for iDisk and Dropbox syncing and even better integration with Snow Leopard and third-party software. Built-in HTML snippets, autocorrection sets, and frequent upgrades make Typinator an even more attractive option.
Publisher's description
From Ergonis software :Have you ever experienced the tedium and frustration of having to repeatedly type your name, e-mail address, home page url, and other words or phrases again, again and again? Or do you frequently need to quickly insert images like your signature, location plan, or company logo into documents? Do you often introduce errors when retyping standard business text? Typinator boosts your productivity and eliminates errors by automating the process of inserting frequently used text and graphics. Configuration is easy - You just define abbreviations and their replacement text or picture. Usage is even easier - Whenever you type one of these abbreviations in an arbitrary application, Typinator inserts the corresponding replacement. Drag-and-drop import from Textpander, TextExpander, and TypeIt4Me makes migration to Typinator a no-brainer. Save your time and annoyance and let Typinator type repeating texts and pictures for you. You can use Typinator to...
