TextExpander 3.0 - On-the-fly typing accelerator. (Demo)

TextExpander (formerly Textpander) is a customizable typing shortcut tool that saves time and keystrokes. With TextExpander, you can define abbreviations for frequently-used text strings and images, also known as snippets. When an abbreviation is typed, it expands automatically to the full snippet.

Here are a few examples for what you can do with TextExpander:

• Insert standard greetings, phrases, boilerplate paragraphs, and signatures - including formatted text and pictures.
• Correct typos automatically

• Add predefined snippet groups, including HTML, CSS, Autocorrect, Accented Words, and Symbols groups.
