Re: [Oscarmcmaster-bc-users] Firefox and Textexpander

[John F. <drj...@gm...>]

The software allows you to make coded key entries like "tthank"....which then writes: "The patient returns happily to your care.  Thank-you for the kind referral.".

I can also, for example, type in "ggang".....and then my whole ganglionectomy procedure is typed out for me with Bold words that I can quickly change in terms of gender, etc., etc.


You can make "snippets" like this as often as you want, and insert the current time, day, date, etc., etc.

I find it invaluable for quickly typing out letters for surgical procedures - especially the repetitive parts.  I have found that the software saves me literally hours per week.  

The Mac version of the software synchronizes with every Mac that you own through the cloud.



The Mac version is here:

There is an open source version for windows under the GNU that can be found here:

A proprietary version for the PC can be found here:

And lastly, there is a version of similar software for Linux that is here:

Hope that helps!
