Computers are supposed to make us work faster and more accurately. However,there are times when we find ourselves typing the same text over and over,slowly and tediously. In some cases, it is possible to avoid the redundant workvia templates. In other cases, mail-merging skills or fancy programming know-howare needed. Luckily for the casual user, in some situations specializedsoftware like Typinator is all that you need.
Installation
Installing Typinator means mounting the disk image and dragging the applicationicon into the Applications folder, or wherever you want to keep it. Typinator'sdocumentation consists of a PDF file that also shows up on the disk image. (Toobad it's not built into the application.) My personal preference is to create aTypinator folder and keep the PDF and the application itself in that folder.Once you enter the license number, you are no longer restricted to having onlyfive abbreviations. Lastly, you'll probably want to select 'Automatically startTypinator at login' from the Preferences window.
Usage
I use my Mac mostly for e-mail and Web surfing, with some dabbling withPhotoshop and other specialized software that makes photos artsy. Untilrecently, I was lucky not to have to deal with repetitively typing the sameblocks of text. Late last year, I became involved with my high school's reunioncommittee and all of a sudden found myself sending the same e-mail messages tomany people. It has been over 24 years since I graduated, and even though themany social networks out there are useful, not everyone keeps the same namesince high school. Many of the women took on the husbands' last names whileothers, perhaps for fear of identify theft or running away from the law, havenames that don't match the yearbook. I would tell these people about thereunion, then ask them what their names were in high school. Reaching out viathe social networks means filling out some Web forms, so using mail stationeryis out of the question. Typinator comes to the rescue!

Ms excel 2007 version. To use Typinator, you first setup an abbreviation, say NHS, short for 'NewtownHigh School.' As shown in the screenshot, I enter the text equivalent of theabbreviation in the Expansion box and the type of expansion to plain text. Thenext time I need to reach out to someone who might be interested in the reunion,I would go through the usual mouse-clicking to get to the e-mail Web form,just typing 'NHS' and the whole form would be filled with the expanded text.Typinator has been lurking in the background watching every keystroke andpounces when a recognized abbreviation is seen.
To be exact, I could have entered 'nhs' and the expansion would still happenbecause I selected 'Case does not matter (~)' in the Typinator window. Daisy disk 4 0 1 download free. Note alsothat I checked off 'Whole word,' so that should I try to type the abbreviationfor Nathaniel Hawthorne State University (a name I just made up), the 'word' is'NHSU' and not 'NHS,' so the expansion won't happen.

Another nifty feature of Typinator that I made use in our example is theplacement of the cursor. After the introductory greeting, I had the special code{^}. I didn't type that but rather chose Cursor from the pop-up menu to theright of the expansion text. Not only is the text inserted, but the cursor isalso placed after 'Hi ' so I can type in the person's name. Other options arepictures, formatted text, and clipboard, although for my simple need of fillingout Web forms they were not used. Midnight 1 1 – dark theme sketch plugin download. Typinator wisely supports the use of prefixand suffix to indicate when to expand text.

Back to my example, to avoid expanding text whenever I type 'NHS,' I enabled theuse of the forward slash (/) as a suffix, so that 'NHS' no longer inserts anytext, but 'NHS/' does. Prefixes and suffixes can be applied to any one entireset so you don't need to update each entry manually. If I want to have aone-time suspension of Typinator, I can choose Pause from its icon in the menubar.

You can have multiple Abbreviation Sets, and Typinator comes with a fewpredefined sets, too. With these extra sets, Typinator not only functions as atext expander but also as a system-wide spellchecker. There are AutoCorrectionsets for American English, British English, French, and German. For those whotype in English, there is also the TidBITS AutoCorrection set in American and British English. Thestandard AutoCorrection sets contain only 831 entries. With 2,302 entries, theTidBITS set greatly reduces the chance of making common typing mistakes, likeentering '10-BaseT' instead of '10Base-T' or 'anser' instead of 'answer.' If youalready use a text expander like TypeIt4Me or TextExpander, you can import setsfrom those applications
With Predefined Sets, Typinator can serve as a system-wide spellchecker.
Crowded House
The market that Typinator is in is a crowded one. Features and price play animportant role in influencing the buyers. Price-wise, Typinator holds its ownwell against TextExpander and TypeIt4Me. Mac miller kids album torrent. Typinator can be bought alone for €20or about $28, at the time ofthis writing. Both TextExpander and TypeIt4Me cost in the neighborhood of $30 aswell. Typinator can also be bought as part of the Mactility Bundle, which runsat €44 or about $60. The bundle includes KeyCue, PopChar X, and Typinator.Depending on how you value PopChar X and KeyCue, Typinator may cost less thanthe competition. I just reviewed PopChar X in the July 2009 issue of ATPM.
While Typinator runs bug-free, has a decent set of features, and iswell-documented, what it really needs is a way to expand text by selecting froma list. I only use a few abbreviations so I have no problems memorizing them. IfI use multiple sets with each set having many entries, I am sure I will easilylose track of what the abbreviations expand to. I would need to bring theTypinator window forward to read the abbreviations and their definitions, butthen would go back to my document and type the proper keystrokes. Why not justallow me to click on the entry and carry out the expansion right from theTypinator window? TypeIt4Me already has the feature. While it may be true thatTypinator has other advantages over TypeIt4Me, for Typinator not to haveclickable expanding is a serious omission.

Conclusion
Typinator 8 36 Cm
Typinator works well as a text expansion utility. Creating abbreviations iseasy, and Typinator is flexible in executing the expansions. It can becase-sensitive and can detect whole words. The use of prefixes and suffixesmeans you can change all the abbreviations in a set together and not have toedit one by one. The inclusion of predefined sets like TidBITS AutoCorrectionis a plus. Unfortunately, Typinator is in a crowded market and lacks a crucialfeature that a competitor already offers, namely the ability to expand text byclicking on items in a list. The best rating I can give Typinator is Good.
