TypeIt4Me
The very first text expander for Mac of its kind, TypeIt4Me speeds up your typing. It does this by instantly replacing your short abbreviations with longer snippets of text and/or pictures. Once the app is installed and launched, leave it running quietly in the background to help you type more quickly and accurately. Find yourself typing the same things over and over? Build up a set of abbreviations and the full text/image ‘snippets’ that they represent. TypeIt4Me will automatically expand them while you continue typing. This works systemwide, in almost any app in which you can type. As well as expanding the abbreviations you type, TypeIt4Me offers a handy point-and-click option. If you ever forget what abbreviation you assigned to a particular snippet, or even if you simply don’t feel like typing it, just scroll through the TypeIt4Me menu list and click it. The snippet contents will be inserted wherever the cursor is in whatever app you’re using.
