Autotext in Any Application

...not just in Word or Outlook.

The autotext feature expands text shortcuts into longer, predefined phrases or sentences. When typing a shortcut or a specific keyword, PhraseExpress recognizes this input and replaces it with a longer, pre-set text snippet. Automatically or on demand. This feature saves user's time by typing short codes instead of full phrases, making writing more efficient and reducing typing mistakes.

While many programs and even operating systems include a basic autotext feature, also called "smart phrases", PhraseExpress provides many additional features:

  • Support for longer text blocks up to several hundred pages of text.
  • Text formatting, tables, and images.
  • Cross-application and even cross-operating system compatibility.
  • Import from third-party programs.
  • Autotext generation from XLS/CSV/TXT files.
