Spell Catcher vs. TextExpander vs. Typinator vs. TypeIt4Me, etc.

Submitted by rweisman on September 13, 2007 - 2:00pm.

Has anyone used more than one of these apps who could describe the advantages and disadvantages of each or the difference in how each one works?

Also do any of these programs import Microsoft AutoCorrect files because I have built up a huge library of shortcuts in mine and wish there were a way of exporting it to a universal application.

Thanks.

I’m a user of Typinator

I’m a user of Typinator and I used TextExpander for awhile. I wish I had forked over the money for TextExpander instead, but one of these guys, maybe it was Daring Fireball, had a discount offer for Typinator and I impulsed it. My only real complaint is that Typinator won’t run in the system tray – It has to sit in the dock. Otherwise it’s fine. TextExpander felt a little nicer because of the cool sound effect it would play when it replaced something.
