About

FastFox is a text expander software used to insert your most commonly used text quickly and easily. Expand phrases, paragraphs, documents, images, and more. To add a new text shortcut in FastFox, enter both the shortcut keys and the text the shortcut will expand to. With FastFox running, simply type your shortcut and it will automatically expand to your saved text. Since FastFox runs in the background, shortcuts can be used in any program including word processors and email. Text expander software is ideal for anyone who types the same text repeatedly, improving typing speed and productivity by providing easy access to regularly used text using abbreviations or other text shortcuts. FastFox learns your most commonly typed phrases and suggests them to you as you type, so you can select and insert text on the fly. Bring the power of autocomplete to all your typing.

About

If you're working on contracts, proposals, reports, technical documents, articles and books, PerfectIt saves time on copy-editing, so that authors can pay more attention to what matters most: the words and their meaning. By helping to eliminate typos, it saves money on re-writes and changes, especially after documents have gone to press. It increases the chance that proposals will be accepted and articles will be published. It can enforce the preferences of your house style and ensure that your business is presented the way you want it to be. Abbreviations help to save space. But they can also be confusing or distracting; and when readers don’t understand them, they can get in the way of your message. PerfectIt brings clarity by linking every abbreviation to its definition. It can automatically generate a Table of Abbreviations and it can check every abbreviation in your text to make sure it’s defined on first use.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Easy to learn, easy to use. What more do I need to say. The fact that I have to write a minimum 100 character overall evaluation is a disincentive to use this platform.

Cons

  • Limited # of abbreviations to ~999. My office needs more, so worked around by deleting some less frequently used ones. No way to buy or create a larger database of abbreviations.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • It's an add-in in Word - no security issues and really fast and easy to use - you just click 'launch' from the ribbon inside the document and then 'run PerfectIt' each time. I run it several times when I'm working on proposals. It saves me hours checking long documents for minor errors. Literally, hours. And it gives me confidence that the document I submit has had a through quality control check. The 14-day free trial is actually free - no credit card details required It's just really clever - runs 27 checks across the whole document and points out inconsistencies. Eg if you have capitalized a heading on one page and not on another or if you have used US spelling here and UK spelling there. It can even eliminate double spaces after periods and remind you to define acronyms. It can be customized for House Style - eg preferred spellings. It's cheap - it's only $70 per year, and with my APMP discount I get 30% off.

Cons

  • I wish there was an option to pay monthly rather than annually but I appreciate that PerfectIt don't take credit card details and automatic renewals because I'm the type of person who always forgets to cancel!
