TextExpander for Productivity

I started working with an author, who is a devotee to TextExpander. After using this product for his items, I realized just how essential it is for my other clients. It is high on my list of "suggested applications", which I submit to my clients upon onboarding.

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

For those who type the same blurbs on a daily basis. Or have a boilerplate document they copy and paste from: This is about the most essential software you can use. All you have to do is create a text snippet and use your set code to auto-pop your words into an email, report, document, etc.

Cons:

More of a caution than a con: If you are using this software across devices, make sure that they are all within the same update. Otherwise, your snippets will not sync properly.

Complicated and hard to fit into workflow

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Value for money

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

The promise of textexpander is great. Whatever repetitive tasks you have may be automated by creating templates of what text to provide and recalling these templates during your various workflows. If you are committed to setting it up properly and forcing yourself to adapt to use the various shortcuts required to recall these templates throughout your work-day, it can work great for you.

Cons:

I found the software too inconvenient and difficult to use as part of my daily workflows. I found it easier to just create a few email templates (save them as drafts) and use them when needed. Perhaps for someone with more advanced needs, the softeare would be more useful.

How did I ever live without this?

The whole concept was foreign to me when I first started using it, but after a short while, it becomes a routine, and then a few months later -- you will never, ever, ever be without it again for the rest of your professional life. If you find yourself typing things over and over again, you must have this app. It is simply awesome!!!

Pros:

This software makes me super productive and saves me SO. MUCH. TIME. I love it and I love showing people how it works -- it blows their mind that you can produce 500 words of a pre-written response by typing a tiny code! This is the best kept secret out there for productivity.

Cons:

There isn't a lot I don't like about this software! The only bad thing happened when I subscribed to some user groups and received weird messages. I just unsubscribed and they were gone.

An essential app for writers and editors

Functionality

Pros:

This app saves me so much time in generating content so I don’t have to constantly type the same things over and over. In fact, the app enables me to create content once and use it endlessly in different ways. It’s a huge time-saver!

Cons:

Sometimes, snippets don’t seamlessly work from one platform to another. Sometimes, the snippets produce weird results depending on the app I’m using at the time. While I like it’s use of AppleScript to create executable actions, I wish more had been focused on how to customize and call up different snippets in various contexts.

Time Saver and Efficiency Booster

I work with several projects that require a large amount of text to be entered, mostly all the same, and TextExpander has created a great solution with their snippets and the ability to customize what's sent out. In an effort to sound less robotic, we're able to add different salutations and provide contextual information in our shortcuts, while saving time and increasing efficiency. The product was so successful in my launch that it has been adopted or considered for review with other departments and projects.

TextExpander Teams

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Value for money

Functionality

Pros:

I really like how teams allows us to share snippets with the team. It saves a tremendous amount of time when you take redundant text you type frequently and make it happen in the blink of an eye. The ability to create small forms and fields for yourself is also tremendously beneficial.

Cons:

This isn't really a reflection on the company or the software. But you have to get yourself into the mindset of recognizing when there are repetitive bits of text you are typing and how you could leverage this tool otherwise its value is dubious. It is what you make it essentially.

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

It saves me so much time, maybe a couple minutes a day but over the course of a month or a week or a year TextExpander will save you hours. I also really like how easy it is to use and how we can share snippets as a team.

Cons:

It's hard to add new snippets, yes they'll suggest snippets here and there but that over bombs you with notifications, most of which aren't good.

Pros:

In our company, we end up typing the same thing A LOT of times, since we have 250+ clients each and we have to send updates to all of them every few days. Text expander is such a great/easy way to have emails templates that you use a lot available quickly with just a few letters. A lot of us use text expander daily.

Cons:

I sometimes forget what text I have for each expander, that is my only issue haha so I wish I had a better way of remembering each one
