TextExpander 6 from Smile includes some incredibly powerful tools to increase your productivity when typing on your Mac. In this Foundation tutorial, Allison starts out slowly introducing simple text expansion snippets to bring the beginners up to speed. Then she quickly accelerates and moves into advanced topics such as nesting snippets, doing math on dates, and fill-in snippets.

You learn how to subscribe to other people's shared snippet groups as well as sharing your own. Each step of the tutorial builds on previous knowledge in a way that brings everyone up to speed for maximum productivity. TextExpander is likely to provide you with the highest productivity boost of any app you can install on your Mac.

Text expansion is one of the best ways to increase your productivity. Just type abbreviated keywords and have them expand into words, sentences, paragraphs or whole pages of text. Expand into images or formatted text, or use fill in snippets to prompt you to complete boilerplate text. These are just some of the options available using TextExpander and other text expansion utilities.



In this episode, we take a look at the newly released TextExpander 6 as well as some other alternative apps.


Time for an update on two of my favourite productivity applications - TextExpander 5 and Keyboard Maestro 7

This week, I take a look at an invaluable application that has been enhanced with some pretty significant new features - TextExpander touch - now at V2.

Now with full support for rich text snippets, fill in snippets, range selection snippets and much more!

A new type of tutorial this week - an App Update show.

Invariably, the applications I cover on ScreenCastsOnline get updated over time. New features and new capabilities are regularly introduced by developers.

So this week's tutorial brings you up to speed on updates to three great applications - Aperture, TextExpander & Moom

New In TextExpander 3 is a new Fill-In snippet, allowing you to create snippets which prompt you with special fields to fill-in when expanded.

TextExpander 3 has been significantly updated both with enhancements to it's core functionality as well as some radical re-engineering of the application. It's now a full blown cocoa application rather than a System preferences pane option.

In addition, the menu bar icon has a host of new features as well as lots of new keyboard shortcuts to both create and edit snippets.
