Introduction

What is Textpander?

Textpander is a utility that helps you type more efficiently and more accurately. Textpander listens to what you type and inserts predefined text snippets on the fly whenever you enter their corresponding abbreviations. Here are a few examples for what you can do with Textpander:

• 

Insert standard greetings, text fragments, and signatures — including formatted text and pictures.

• 

Insert the current date and time in any format you prefer.

• 

Use editor-independent code templates and have Textpander position the cursor just where it needs to be.

• 

Type special characters without having to launch any special characters palette.

• 

Have Textpander correct typos automatically.

Textpander is controlled from its own preference pane inside your System Preferences. Being designed for easy handling, Textpander blends in perfectly with your operating system.
