If you are using an application without the TextExpander integration, you can compose a text in TextExpander Compose section and then do a copy paste after you’ve finished. For a complete list of all applications with TextExpander support, check TextExpander currently supported apps.

I kept on adding my libraries as I realized how many times I typed a certain word many many times. Since I type a summary of the sermon every Sunday at church, TextExpander has saved me big time when I needed to type long and fast notes. I can’t imagine how many times TextExpander has made me more productive, especially when I need to write long notes. When you type “ty”, for example, your text will automatically be replaced to Thank you! in an instant so you can keep on typing while TextExpander does its job smoothly in the background. For example:Ĭontent: Can you call me back please? Thanks. TextExpander works by specifying the Abbreviation and the Content. If you are the one who normally write meeting minutes for your company, you might want to create a group containing custom words for that purpose, such as your company’s name, employees’ initials, and so on. In TextExpander, these custom snippets can be categorized by groups. Some examples of these wordings are email signatures, your email address, your phone number, or perhaps some words that you type almost every day on a text message to your friends. With TextExpander, you can create a list of wordings (or even paragraphs) that you’d normally type repeatedly on your iPhone or iPad.
TextExpander is a nifty app because it lets me create my own auto completion libraries (doesn’t have to be in English) and takes it even further to turn my laziness into productivity It’s probably because most of the time, I’m writing texts in my own language (Indonesian) rather than English (except when I’m replying emails related to Craving Tech but even then, I’d still prefer to type my emails on the PC’s keyboard). I’m not sure if I’m the only one who turns the Auto Completion feature off on their iPhone (and iPad).
