TypeIt4Me, “The Original Text Expander” for Mac OS, now in its 17th year
since it was first released in 1989, goes 3.0 – free download trial now
available!
LONDON, England — July 23, 2006 — Anytime anyone enters text in their Mac
by typing it at the keyboard, TypeIt4Me can help them do it faster and more
accurately. TypeIt4Me’s intuitive user interface makes it very easy to set
up any number of abbreviations and the full text (or picture) “clippings”
that they represent, allowing users later to watch their Mac expand them on
the fly as they type the abbreviation, without interrupting their flow of
typing!
Doctors, lawyers, authors, screenwriters, journalists, students and
teachers, tech support personnel replying to users’ emails, medical
transcriptionists and many more types of professionals can instantly
enhance their productivity on a daily basis with TypeIt4Me.
TypeIt4Me is easy to install, quick to learn, and can handle thousands of
abbreviation/clipping pairs, whether in one single or in separate clipping
files.
Announced and previewed at Macworld SF last January, TypeIt4Me Version 3.0
is now available for download as a 30-day-trial demo from:
