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.

In case you're still interested
I too use Typinator. To Kevin’s complaint, I had the same issue before I found this: http://www.ergonis.com/products/typinator/TypinatorWithoutDockIcon.pdf. There’s also an option to play a sound on every replacement, but I switched it off about a minute after installation.
As far importing from MS Word, I don’t think it supports that. However, the developer recently pushed out a huuuge auto-correct dictionary (bigger than the default one) that’s linked from Typinator’s front page.
