PhraseExpress Text Expander

PhraseExpress Text Expander

Autotext Text Expander and Boilerplate Template Manager for Windows. PhraseExpress manages frequently used text snippets for quick access and eliminates repetitive typing with the text replacement feature. Boilerplate templates can be stored together with bitmaps and Microsoft Word-, RTF- or HTML text formatting.

The text prediction feature watches out for repetitive text patterns and offers to auto-complete such phrases. Smart algorithms analyze and learn your writing patterns, and suggest the most relevant ways to complete phrases and sentences.

The Autotext feature allows assigning a frequently used text such as your address, your signature or a common phrase to a much shorter abbreviation. Whenever you type in the assigned abbreviation PhraseExpress will automatically replace it with the original text. For example, "ty" will be expanded to "thank you very much. Existing MS Office AutoCorrect entries can be imported for use in any Windows program, not just MS Office.

The Clipboard Cache enhances the native Windows clipboard functionality by remembering all items that are copied to the clipboard and storing them for later pasting.

PhraseExpress can optionally remove any text formatting from the clipboard contents.
Powerful macro functions can add dynamic contents to static phrases such as the current date, counters or additional manual input. Phrases can be linked or nested. Macros can also launch programs or open documents triggered by shortcuts. Entering 'calc' may open the Windows calculator program or pressing the hotkey CTRL-F8 may offer a Google search query of a highlighted text on-the-fly.

The PhraseExpress Freeware Edition is free-of-charge for personal users. A separate USB installer allows to run PhraseExpress from USB memory devices.
