Typing tools that increase your efficiency are all the rage for anyone who has to type more than their name and credit card number on a daily basis, and ergonis just upped the ante with the release of Typinator 2.0. Competing directly with similar tools like TextExpander and TypeIt4Me, this new version of Typinator brings a virtual boatload of new features to the table, including:
- Sets allow convenient organization of abbreviations
- Import and export of abbreviation sets
- Comes with auto-correction sets for English, German and French
- Import from Textpander, TextExpander and TypeIt4Me
- Application-specific set assignment
- Typinator can be disabled in individual applications
- Clipboard insertion within expansions
- Streamlined user interface for improved conformance to Apple's guidelines
- The abbreviation table can be sorted by abbreviation, expansion, options, and conflict status
- Expansion of abbreviations is much faster now, even while typing extremely fast and with thousands of defined abbreviations and auto-corrections
- Significantly reduced memory requirements, especially with large expansions
- and much, much more
As a paid user of TextExpander, this new release of Typinator looks quite tasty indeed. I'm actually just glad the typing tool space is getting more competitive, as I can't write or work on the web without one anymore. A demo is of course available, while a single licenses sells for about $26 (EUR 19.99).
