Typinator in Action

Typinator is the best thing since sliced bread!

Michele DeFilippo
(Book designer) Typinator is the BEST utility I have purchased in a very long time. I tested a couple of other products before purchasing yours and only Typinator was 100% rock-solid.

Hugh Nagle, Ireland I love Typinator. I have tried the others, but Typinator is the easiest – by far. It is one of four essential productivity apps I could not live without.

Typinator is faster and less wonky than TextExpander. Looks like I have a new macro program.

Jon Stokes,
San Francisco, CA Typinator is a killer app to save time and increase productivity! I could not think of working on my Mac without it.

Fred Colantonio
Marketing and Internet Consultant By far, the best Mac text expander I've seen. I've tried others, and Typinator easily rises to 'best in class.'

Jim Cole, Jacksonville, FL One of the most useful programs for the Mac. I use this program hundreds of times a day. It's a HUGE time-saver.

Wilma Keppel, macupdate.com I'm here to say I'm totally loyal to Typinator! I've got a real speed up coding with it and consequently more spare time.

Erik Patrick,
web developer This product is brilliant. I got so spoiled within the first hour that I can't quite figure out how I got along without it so many years.

Mary van Bronkhorst
Online Game Designer
First Mac software ever that convinced me to register after a trial period of 5 minutes. Good job!

Hans Trygve Jensen

As usual with Ergonis's products, simplicity and reliability are the watchwords.

Have you ever experienced the tedium and frustration of having to repeatedly type your name, e-mail address, home page url, or other words or phrases again, again and again? Do you frequently need to quickly insert images like your signature, location plan, or company logo into documents? Do you often misspell words when typing?

Typinator boosts your productivity by automating the process of inserting frequently used text and graphics and auto-correcting typing errors.

With thousands of predefined corrections for common typos and misspelled words for US and British English, German and French, Typinator is not only a typing assistant that speeds repetitive typing tasks, but also a system-wide auto-correction tool that automatically fixes typing errors and misspelled words.

Setup is easy: You just define an abbreviation along with its replacement text or picture.

Usage is even easier: Whenever you type one of your abbreviations in any application, Typinator inserts the corresponding replacement.

Words cannot describe the huge benefits Typinator offers to you.

We therefore invite you to view a short demo movie.

Typinator is a MacUpdate favorite ...

Bryan MacUpdate"Typinator is one of those apps that I talk about to my non- tech friends. All of us at MacUpdate use it without fail for coding, content editing, technical support, and internal and external communications. It is lightweight and reliable, and the new feature that allows users to share ‘.tysets’ has opened up even more possibilities for how we use this powerful utility at MacUpdate.
I cannot emphasize enough how different (and terrible) my work would be without this app!"

Typinator 7 - with over 40 improvements more powerful than ever


"With powerful input forms, publish, subscribe, assistants, and more than 40 other improvements, Typinator 7 is the best text expander in town."

 

Typinator 7 comes packed with more than 40 new features and improvements. The changes do not only affect the big "power features", but also many places in the user interface of Typinator.

In Typinator 7, we dramatically enhanced the power of Typinator's input fields. You can now create sophisticated forms for entering placeholder items in expansions. Until now, only simple text fields were possible; in Typinator 7, you can now also use multi-line text fields, pop-ups with predefined contents, checkboxes for optional text fragments or for selecting one of two choices.

Although the input fields have become so much more powerful, Typinator 7 makes it easier than ever to define them, as it now comes with "assistants" that give you full control over all the available possibilities in a simple way.

Typinator 7 can now simulate arbitrary keyboard combinations in the middle of an expansion. These can be simple tab keystrokes for jumping to the next form field, but also formatting keystrokes for toggling bold format by "typing" command+B.

Another power feature is the ability to subscribe to existing sets that someone else has made available on the Internet. All our AutoCorrection sets are now provided as such "live sets"; whenever we improve these sets, Typinator automatically updates your local copies. And if you have a cool set that you would like to share with others, you can use Typinator's new publication features.

See the feature page for descriptions of the most important new features and improvements. For a complete list of all the changes in Typinator 7.0, please see the version history.

Migration from TextExpander to Typinator


Typinator
is THE TextExpander alternative

During the past, we could welcome many former TextExpander customers who switched to Typinator because they were unsatisfied with TextExpander and wanted a more robust and speedier solution.

Since TextExpander switched to a subscription-based pricing model, more and more TextExpander users are now switching to Typinator. We have create a special page with helpful information for seamless migration from TextExpander to Typinator.

And starting with Typinator 7.0, migration from TextExpander became even easier, as Typinator now comes with an improved import function for existing TextExpander snippets.

Read testimonials about the switching experience of former TextExpander users.
