PhraseExpress is a great solution for reducing the time spent typing and minimizing spelling mistakes.
PhraseExpress is a very useful tool intended for users who often need to type the same phrases or expressions, coordinates or character names in a script or a play, helping them to increase the speed of typing. It is used to send the favorite expressions and also the macros (such as entering the date, creating an email or opening a URL).
To send an expression, you can use either keyboard shortcuts or choose expressions menu located on the system tray. PhraseExpress supports up to 100 user-defined expressions. The software allows to combine these expressions to any string that will detect and replace it with that expression .
Some options include displaying a pop-up window or play a sound when detecting a " AutoText " , or view statistics on the productivity gains resulting from the use of the software. In addition to the correction available in several languages, it will even allow you to calculate your typing speed per minute.
