14 DAY TRIAL // When it comes to productivity apps on your Mac, TextExpander has got to be in your top 5, right next to 1Password, Alfred or BetterTouchTool. TextExpander is the app that will not only help you type faster, but also zip through email replies and forget about typos.
It is not a milestone in design, but it takes a top position in the functionality category. You can set custom keyboard shortcuts and expand them into larger snippets of text. No wonder this app has won the 2010 Macworld Editors' Choice Award. If you are a writer, you will see how fast you can type canned emails or frequently used expressions. You can also set snippets for your email address, signature or anything that you may use more than once a day.
TextExpander comes with a library of common typos and you can find other AutoCorrect bundles or Common Miscapitalizations that you can add to your library for free and make use of.
TextExpander runs on OS X 10.7 or later and they will probably come out with a big 5.0 update pretty soon. If you get TextExpander as part of the StackSocial offer, you will not pay the regular $35 (€27), but less than half the price, just $16 (€12).
