Texter is an application by Adam Pash over at Lifehacker. The application, which works only on Windows, is actually a few years old, but it's new to me and has already automated some extremely repetitive typing tasks I have to perform all day at work. Basically, you set a keyword -- called a hotstring in Texter -- that, when typed and followed by the return key or the space bar, will be replaced by a full sentence.
For example, I might set up a hotstring that consists simply of the word "hubris." Then, later, when I want to tell someone how awesome I am in an email, I can just type "hubris," press enter, and the word will be replaced by the sentenced I had saved and connected to "hubris" in Texter, maybe something like "Joe is an amazing human being that displays both intelligence and wit at extremely advanced levels." All of that, just from typing "hubris." You can imagine how much time this program saves me.
Best of all, it's tiny and portable -- I run it from a USB key that I take everywhere with me. Very handy. Click below for the goods.
