AutoText

AutoText is a lightweight Windows utility built specifically for helping you get rid of repetitive writing tasks, as it is able to automatically type commonly used phrases for you.

It boasts a clean and intuitive layout that gives users the possibility to enable the keyboard monitoring process.

A new keyword can be added to the list by specifying the characters and phrase that should be inserted each type you type the corresponding keyword.

What’s more, you can organize keywords in different categories, which can be renamed or deleted, edit, delete, duplicate, or rename the current keywords, as well as view overall statistics about the numbers of saved characters and snippets.

Other important features worth mentioning are represented by the possibility to import keywords from XML, CSV, or plain text format, as well as reassign the hotkey used for enabling or disabling the keyboard monitoring process.

When it comes to configuration settings, you can make the utility run at Windows startup, automatically start the keyboard monitoring operation when the program is opened, as well as disable sound notifications.

Since it doesn’t come packed with many dedicated parameters, even rookies can set up the entire process with minimum effort. During our testing we have noticed that AutoText carries out a task very quickly, and no errors showed up throughout the entire process.

As it would be expected from such a small utility, it remains light on system resources, so it doesn’t burden the overall performance of the computer, nor interfere with other programs’ functionality.

To sum things up, AutoText seems to be the right choice in case you are looking for an easy-to-use tool that bundles only a few configuration settings for helping you type common phrases automatically.
