This may not be where I need to ask this, but I'll go ahead as I'm not finding what I'm looking for anywhere else.



I am looking for an AutoText program (similar to MS Word's autocorrect application) - but what I want is for it to type out several sentences/phrass at a time with the combination of hotkeys and letters. I don't think MS Word Autocorrect will work for me as I want to use this OUTSIDE of MS Word.

Anyone know of something like this? I used to use something similar to this when I transcribed for a physician's office, but haven't seen anything since then. If you know a reputable software, please advise the name.

Doing a google search will reveal tools like this
http://www.phraseexpress.com/

I haven't used any of them though so I don't know how good they might be.

I did see that - there's an interesting YouTube video on it also. Has anyone tried PhraseExpress?

Used sensibly Phrase Express is excellent. I use it for holding links etc for use in forums, but if you are not careful it can be rather intrusive. I tend to preface all my trigger commands with '#' e.g. '#web' will insert my web address - http://www.gmayor.com

You can use the same trigger to provide a dropdown menu of simiilar items and the output can be formatted or not.

If you have a lot of texts that are repetitive or you consistently make the same spelling mistakes, it can be very useful.
