Comparison would be nice
I wonder how the latest version of TextExpander holds up against the other competitors in the market.
Right now, because I’m cheap, I use the old, free version of Textpander. They dropped the “e” for “saveings.”
It is invaluable, partly because the academic program I coordinate has a title that is 63 letters long. There are also a number of words related to our work that are not easily spelled and a little long that I type again and again and again.
However, Textpander does sometimes not respond as someone else noted above and the abbreviation has to be retyped. A bigger problem is that if you err while typing the abbreviation and fix it, it doesn’t work. You have to retype the abbreviation from the beginning for Textpander to recognize it. I wonder if this has changed in TextExpander.
