AutoLearn animation

You will be amazed by the accuracy of the suggestions. It also works perfectly hand-in-hand with the Autotext feature.

Clipboard Cache

The Clipboard Cache provides quick access to the Windows clipboard history. This allows to create many draft phrases by simply copying highlighted text snippets to the clipboard in one go and organize them later:

Last used phrases folder

PhraseExpress can store the last used phrases in a separate folder. This is useful if you e.g. have you to fill in similar web forms with the same input.

Network Cache

The PhraseExpress Network Edition now caches the network phrase file on your local computer while you are abroad. Once back on the network, PhraseExpress automatically switches back to the network phrase file.

Roaming profiles

Wherever you log on a networked computer, you always get your personal phrases as your phrases are now associated to your computer user name.

Access via internet

Remote users can now connect to the PhraseExpress Server via the internet. Password protection and encrypted data transmission ensures high data security. Proxy servers can also be configured

Support for Terminal Server
