Great app, needs work though!

Great app no doubt but there are some issues. There are times when one or all of the following happens: - text doesn't expand - a part of the text is inserted - a part of the snippet remains even after the text is inserted - a part of the text is executed but then disappears if there is a keyboard shortcut included

Avoid this. Look for something different.

DO NOT UPGRADE PAST v.1.33!! You will now get Ads! I have and paid for the Mac version - $5 for the lifetime version. It works great which is why I came here for the windows version. His price is outrageous - he wants either a subscription of $5 per year or $25 for lifetime. That was too much for a platform I use only occasionally. Now, I applied the update to 1.3.4 and what is NOT mentioned in the change log is the addition of ads which gives you a splash screen for about 20 seconds. This product just get's worse and worse. This is to force you to upgrade. If you put a reasonable price, I'm happy to pay. If you try to force me into doing something, I'm going to look elsewhere.

Review title of BrianaText is great, Windows version is getting there

Pretty good overall, I like that it syncs with the aText file I use on my Mac. Occasional glitches on Windows still, needs a restart to recognize snippets for some reason.

This is a one of a kind tool for Windows 10. I haven't found anything comparable if you are wanting to take full advantage of your shortcuts, similar to the way they work on your cell phone. Great, reliable application!

Review title of JeffDoes exactly what it needs to do

Excellent program for transcription. Better, simpler, and more streamlined than anything else out there if you're just wanting to type things faster. Had a few issues, but the developer was quick to address my concerns, and now I'm having no problems whatsoever with my workflow. Highly recommended over pretty much all other options.

Review title of tamiI just gained about an hour a day using this!

This is a life-changer! No more copying & pasting the same phrase or url over and over from notes or virtual post-its. Just type in my predefined minicode and Voila! my text/url/paragraph appears. Thank you for this!
