Spell Catcher vs. TextExpander vs. Typinator vs. TypeIt4Me, etc.

rweisman | Sep 13 2007

Has anyone used more than one of these apps who could describe the advantages and disadvantages of each or the difference in how each one works?

Also do any of these programs import Microsoft AutoCorrect files because I have built up a huge library of shortcuts in mine and wish there were a way of exporting it to a universal application.

Thanks.

Robyn

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »
