Typinator

Less typing, fewer mistakes

Writing customer e-mails can be a boring task sometimes. Common issues are addressed the same way, and you often find yourself typing in the same phrases again and again. Typinator is a small software for Mac OS that helps you save time by expanding the most frequent text blocks you use in your communication.

To do that, you just define a list of abbreviations and once you use them, Typinator expands them automatically while you type. For example, if you usually end your support e-mails with "Please let me know if there is anything else that I can do for you", you just can type "plmk" and the software will expand that into the full sentence. Another cool feature is that, besides words, you can also expand pictures such as a logo or a map.

You can organize your abbreviations by categories (just in case you need to remember what they mean) and choose which in applications should Typinator be active.

Typinator can be integrated with DropBox for a consistent set of abbreviations across computers in your office.
