## ActiveWords Reviews
  ### 1. Maybe I'm not the user this program is meant for?

**Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Aly N. | Content Strategist, Internet, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 17, 2016

**What do you like best about ActiveWords?**

It's a very efficient program and definitely cuts typing time. If you're using repetitive language or need shortcuts for terms you use a lot in your line of work, then this is probably a good addition to your software collection.

**What do you dislike about ActiveWords?**

There's not a lot that I necessarily dislike about it, but it's a very niche program. I found it annoying after a while, but I'm sure that it's convenient in some cases. I just have yet to find out what that case is.

**Recommendations to others considering ActiveWords:**

All things considered, this is great if your work requires repetitive language. Definitely increases productivity, convenience, etc. If you write different stuff all the time like I do, however, it may not be your first choice.

**What problems is ActiveWords solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I believe the benefit of this program is to save time for people who do a lot of technical work or technical writing in order to avoid repetitive and unnecessary typing. It's a shortcut program, ultimately. I've kind of realized through using it that I, personally, don't have a reason to use it in my line of work.
