KeyText
Do you find yourself typing the same texts, pressing the same buttons, or carrying out the same procedures on your computer again and again? How many times do you reply to an e-mail with a response you've typed dozens of times before? Save time by letting KeyText do it for you.
KeyText can store hundreds of boilerplate texts, ready to be typed or pasted into any application by a simple hotkey press or menu selection. Whether you type your address in online forms a few times a week, or work at a busy support desk answering e-mails, if you type the same things over and over - make life easier by using KeyText. Improve accuracy, and reduce the strain of all that typing!
Trigger text lets you set up abbreviations for your favorite texts. Type the abbreviation and KeyText expands it with the text you require. Use it for boilerplate text, difficult-to-spell words, or even for symbols/accents - set #half to type ½ or e// to type é.
KeyText can automate much more than typing. Your texts can become like macro scripts by including fields to fill in the date, run programs, click buttons, ask for input, change windows, select menu items, play a sound, display a message, visit Internet sites and more. KeyText has its own programming language, and easy wizard-based dialogs help you set it up.
Imagine - you select text in a browser or document, press a hotkey, and if it's...
• a zipcode, Google maps goes there
• an email address, a new email is started
• a web site, your browser opens it
• 2 or more words, a phrase search starts
• one word, an online dictionary finds it.
One of the KeyText samples lets you do just that!
Use the built-in Scheduler to set programs to run, or reminders to display, at specified days or times; for example, 9:00 and 17:00 every day; on the 1st and last Friday of a month; on the 15th of every second month; or on an anniversary each year. Tell KeyText to watch for windows, dialogs, or password requests appearing, and it will fill in or button-click them away.
If/then/else logic - choose different actions depending on the contents of the clipboard, currrent selection, window title, process name, variable value, pixel color and more. Use Regular Expressions to match text, or in replacement expressions to give advanced text manipulation.

I just thought I would let you know that I have just upgraded my Surface Pro 3 to Windows 10 and KeyText 3 works perfectly.

I can't live without Keytext. It is an extension of my fingertips. A simple install that turns me into a level 20 mage. You have no idea how broken a person would be if they lost their magic macro spells!
Whitney, Rutland VT, USA -
Not just 'useful' - indispensable is my word for it :-)
Keith, Leicester, UK -
You should know - and take as a great compliment - that the main reason I still use a PC instead of a Mac for my desktop computer is because KeyText isn't available for Macs. Thank you for all of the time saved over the last ten years or so :)
Matthew, Seattle WA, USA -
I am still making very good use of KeyText and have been doing so for more than ten years. It is still the best, in my opinion, in its class.
Robin, Singapore -
Over the years I've found it to be indispensible. So very useful, easy to use, I can't imagine using my PC without it.
David, Acworth GA, USA -
Thank you very much for your prompt response. Long live KeyText!

KeyText is the best program for me I cannot use computer without it.
Eiko, Hamamatsu, Japan -
I feel lost on a new machine when I don't have KeyText! I don't see how people that work online every day do without it. I know I'm lost without it.

We have a really small office and there are only two of us - we LOVE Key Text, I can't imagine working without it. So much of my work is repetitive and it makes my life so much easier.
Brenda, Richardson TX, USA -
Definitely I am still finding this software useful. It has helped me immensely in various job roles from entry-level depot administration for a help desk all the way up to service manager.
Gerald, Morristown NJ, USA -
I use Excel to arrange a schedule for a mainframe, and KeyText does all the typing. It saves me so much time it is unbelievable. I hear my co-workers hammering at the keys while I click one button and voila. 1 keyclick instead of 30. Multiply that by over 100 and I do a three hour job in 10 minutes.
Nick, Lakeside CA, USA -
Here's the solution: KeyText 3, an extraordinary convenience that makes it easy to slam down routine phrases with just a few keystrokes. That's just the beginning of this powerful utility's prowess...
Mashable Tech -
I actually have told every keyboard lover I've ever met about this software. I was even thinking of leaving my new job if they didn't let me use it!
Whitney, Rutland VT, USA -
Your software is amazing. My employer does not understand how I get a weeks worth of work done in less then a hour. I just have to be careful not to KeyText myself out of a job!
Joe, Chalfont PA, USA -
KeyText is one of the most useful and best little programs that I have installed and have been using every single day for several years! I wouldn't do without it. To my mind it's really an award-winning piece of brilliant software. Worth every penny, and much more!!
