Typinator 8.5

Type a little. Typinator does the rest.
We’ve all faced projects that require repetitive typing tasks. With Typinator, you can store commonly used text and images in quick keywords and abbreviations. From email templates to code snippets to website URLs, there’s no easier way to recreate repetitive text at a moment’s notice.

Workflow-friendly features

Uncomplicated configuration. Quickly and easily create abbreviations and assign replacement text and pictures.
Simplified migration. If you already use TextExpander, TypeIt4Me, or a similar app, you can migrate to the highly praised Typinator using simple drag-and-drop importation methods.
Conversion options. Instantly convert currency values, measurement units and more.
Extensive app compatibility. Your text expansions function in all of your OS X apps with lightning-fast precision.

What’s New:
