![]() Allows you to set additional options like "Whole Word", and adding a description.Will ensure that both abbreviation and expansion fields have data in them.Selecting the checkbox "RegEx Set" (checked by default) will verify that the abbreviation has at least a basic RegEx formatting and prompt you to correct it if it finds errors.Allows you to enter your abbreviation using RegEx formatting or not.Now a little more about the macro itself, as well as the new features it has: Therefore I am posting it separately from the other macro so as to (hopefully) not cause confusion. It is quite similar to both my Redesigned: Quickly Create an Auto-Correction Expansion With Typinator (Using Aspell and Typinator's AppleScript dictionary) macro as well as my original Quickly Create a Regex Expansion With Typinator macro, but is far superior to the latter since it too (like the former) uses Typinator's AppleScript dictionary instead of relying on GUI scripting. Typinator updater costs are usually 50% of new.Howdy folks, here is (yet another) Typinator macro, but this one will add any abbreviation to any set you have, be it a RegEx or normal set.Both have options for selectable sound cues.If hacked, both could become keyboard loggers. ![]() ![]() Both cease operating when entering passwords.Both have good Tech Support, but Typinator may be a bit better.Both have DropBox support, though TE was preconfigured.TE has an auto suggest, but not Typinator.Typinator can be customized per application, not just “all”, “all except”, or “only these”.Both have predefined scripts with indentured Automator, Macro, Java script-like functions.Typinator exports to accomplish the same thing. TE has an automatic backup feature with an easy restore.TE’s Auto Correct is better 2400 words vs, Typinator’s 865 (American vs European firm).(You should also disable TE in Accessibility system settings.) But if you do not have duplicate abbreviations, I’m reasonably certain you could run both simultaneously. Typinator recommends you quit TE after the import so both aren’t trying to run simultaneously.Typinator easily imports TE’s snippets - but DO NOT immediately delete TE after export wait a few weeks just in case a snippet did not import as designed.On the other hand, Typinator supports subscriptions. TE’s new OS is more Cloud like and supports Groups & Teams.Download and install are easy-peasy for both.Typinator Mac OS 4.5 stars onMacUpdate, but no iOS. TE Mac OS (2.5 Stars on MacUpdate) iOS app (2 Stars, App Store, $5.00). The cost was the predominant rationale for my switching to Typinator. Operationally, it is indeed a five star application, but because of the cost I give it 3 stars. I used Text Expander for years and never had an issue with it. Typinator gets better reviews, is significantly faster, and cost less.Īll things considered, I prefer & recommend Typinator. NOTE: Using System Preference/Keyboard/Shortcuts can accomplish many of the same capabilities, but it is not as full-featured as either TE (Text Expander) or Typinator. Cost: Subscription plan, about $40.00 per year.
