   SO much better than PhraseExpress!

   This setup is a little more hands on to install and setup, but it is worth it. No weird glitches, crashing or other issues, it just a simple system works as it should.

   It doesn't have all the same features as PhraseExpress, but if you are like me and just want a text expander, they are features you will never need or use anyway.

   The setup instructions are clear and concise. They do take a minute to get your head around compared to other software installs that I am used to, but as the instructions are on point, it is not difficult.

   I am using this on macOS and will be trying it on Windows soon too.

   🏁 Competitors: PhraseExpress

   👍 Pros:    Works perfectly|Cost effective|Great, clear setup instructions

   👎 Cons:    Requries some more setup beyond the usual 'double click' and done

• Suggest a text expander/ Clipboard app for my use case

  Typeit4Me: The original expander, I think. It's great and offers features not offers on others. Maybe more importantly, the crew behind it (a father and son) are great. The next major version (7) is in the works, and will hopefully offer some improvements in the UI department. It's not bad at all but needs a bit of a facelift. Source: about 1 year ago

• Clipboard like menubar app for copying and pasting info

• Predictive Text app

  Typeit4me: the original text expander for macOS. The feature set is the best I’ve found for my needs and text expansion is very fast. The UI is a bit long in the tooth, but version 3 with an updated UI is in the works. Also, customer service is great. It’s a family business and inquiries are answered quickly and comprehensively.

• Fellow comment copy/posters, what’s your go-to software for compiling?

  I use a text expander (TypeIt4Me, but there are a lot on the market). I can divide up the comments into active sets, so I can have sets for a particular class or homework, a set for grade grubbers, etc. I can even include variables and hyperlinks in my expansion. Completely saved my sanity. Source: over 1 year ago

• Has anyone tried to automate replies to common student emails?

  I don't do an auto reply, but I do use a text expander for common answers. (I use TypeIt4Me, but there are other good ones out there.). Source: about 2 years ago

  Huh, didn't know abbrev had that limitation (wonder why?). Gave it a go in espanso (https://espanso.org/), and it does work there. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Show HN: I automated 1/2 of my typing

  I use a tool called "Espanso" to accomplish something similar at work. It only runs locally, so no weird data scraping issues to worry about. And it's easy to update as things changes becauase everything lives in a simple yml file. https://espanso.org/ It can do simple text replacement, so I have words, phrases, and sentences I use frequently compressed into a few keyboard clicks. It can also grab what is in your... - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago
