If you are a writer or an office manager, then you know how hard, boring and tiring is to write 5000 words in a single day. If you want to have more free time instead of hitting the keys endlessly, then why not try this small program, published by Bartels Media.

PhraseExpress AutoText combines autocomplete with macros in one versatile free tool that can type phrases, sentences, and other text automatically when the program detects certain keystrokes or manually via hot keys. The AutoText feature lets you designate abbreviations for frequently used words and phrases that you use or will use often, such as your address.

When you type the abbreviation, PhraseExpress automatically enters the expanded text. To access the program and all the settings just use the small tray icon. Here you can open not only the settings page, but enter new phrases as well, access the last used entry, and clear the clipboard cache. The settings menu actually consists of two pages: a main page for managing phrases and folders and a more detailed page of options that you can access via the Tools menu. On this second page the user is able to configure everything from pop-up behavior to expert options such as delays and advanced text prediction settings and also choose audio files for system sounds, configure network proxy settings, and set paste and e-mail delivery methods.
The AutoText feature integrated in this program will be familiar to anyone who has used autocomplete, but PhraseExpress offers several useful options, including manual confirmation, delimiters, and expert options.
It is free to use and supported by Windows XP/2003/Vista/Server 2008/7.

Check it out at PhraseExpress.
