"TextExpander Saves Hours with Quick Snippets and Simple Keystrokes"

5/5

What do you like best about TextExpander?

I'm in a technical support role. There are a lot of instances where I need to type the same thing multiple times throughout the course of a day. From responses to customers, to internal forms and documentation. When I notice I continue to have to type something over and over, I can quickly create an entry in TextExpander with a couple of clicks in a matter of seconds. From that point on, I have an easy way to generate the text I need with a few simple keystrokes. TextExpander has at this point has probably saved me hundreds of hours and makes me much more efficient at my job. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TextExpander?

There isn't anything I dislike about TextExpander. It's awesome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Thanks, Josh, and wow, hundreds of hours saved is the kind of result we love to hear, especially from someone creating Snippets on the fly the moment they spot something they keep retyping. Since you’re handling customer responses and case notes all day, Fill-in Suggestions could make those quick Snippets even more useful by turning placeholder text, like a customer name or ticket detail, into Fill-ins in a few clicks. That way each reply stays fast while still feeling personal. Really glad TextExpander is helping you respond quicker and document with less effort.

"Convenient, Customizable Snippets That Streamline Sharing Information"

4/5

What do you like best about TextExpander?

Convenience is the biggest benefit for me. In my line of work, I have to share a lot of information, so being able to create small coded snippets for recurring details is fantastic and makes the process much smoother. Especially since the snippets you create are so customizable from simple text to modifiable fields, formatted text, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TextExpander?

I wish the formatting was a bit better for things like bullet points/sub categories. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is TextExpander solving and how is that benefiting you?

In my line of work as a coach, I often have to send training & diet plans. Instead of copying and pasting the same text to send with the plan, I can create one stock response tied to a singular snippet that handles it all for me, including editable boxes where I include necessary links, their name, etc. The same goes when I'm explaining mechanisms and all else, creating one stock response and getting to send it multiple times saves TONS of time so I can do what I really want to do: coach. Not type long emails with the same information over and over. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Lucas Leung of TextExpander

edit

Thanks, Nick, and it's great to hear one Snippet can handle your training and diet plan emails, editable boxes and all, so you get more time to actually coach. Sorry the formatting for bullet points and sub categories hasn't been where you'd like it. If you want to try something in the meantime, the editing bar has formatting options you can use inside the Snippet editor, and our Support team can help you get your lists looking right at supportteam@textexpander.com. If you aren't already using Conditional Sections, they could also be handy for coaching, since you can build the variations of a plan explanation into one Snippet and pick the one you need as it expands.

"Huge Time Saver with Easy Snippets and Helpful Weekly Usage Insights"

4.5/5

What do you like best about TextExpander?

It has saved countless hours of typing/typos for things that a repeatedly need to say to customers and has increased exponentially my processing speed and efficiency. The new features and suggestions are also excellent and its easy to create and update my snippets. I use text expander in my work extensively but also in my personal realm as well. I like the weekly reviews that show how much I've used slack and saved time, this really feels worth the price. Getting set up and going was a breeze and there is readily available training, which is always improving, I look forward to seeing how I can fully utilize this tool in slack or the AI features which I haven't explored yet. There are so many ways to utilize this features, I need to learn more! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TextExpander?

There have been a few issues where I can’t reliably open the app or access editing, but it’s usually only a day or two before it gets fixed. I feel like I’ve only seen the tip of the iceberg so far. Features are being improved and added, but it isn’t always easy to find out what’s new. Since I mainly use this for work, I don’t have a ton of time during the workday to explore and learn everything on my own. I’d love it if the emails (not more of them—just more inclusive) highlighted a feature I might not be using, with a quick video showing what it can do. I’d also love the option to add a few words that I frequently misspell (because of typing habits). The app already includes a lot, but there are a few more I’d suggest. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is TextExpander solving and how is that benefiting you?

I’m a fast typist, but I don’t like having to say the same thing over and over. Text Expander has helped me increase my speed even more, be more precise, and explain things much more clearly. It’s improved my performance at work, saved me a lot of time, and it keeps getting better as new features are added. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hi Dahlia,

Thank you for the review and the 4.5 stars. We’re glad TextExpander has sped up your processing work and that the weekly usage insights make it feel worth the price. It’s great to hear you use it at work and at home.

You gave us a lot of useful feedback, so here’s where we landed on each point.

Reliability: We’re sorry you’ve had trouble opening the app or reaching editing. We’ve flagged it with our Product team. If it happens again, please contact our Support team so we can dig in with you right away.

Finding out what’s new: Good news: an in-app feed of what’s new is coming soon, so you can see the latest features at a glance without leaving your work. We’ve also shared your idea with our Product team about emails that spotlight one feature you might not be using, with a quick video of it in action.

Frequent misspellings: You can set this up today. Create a Snippet with the misspelling as the abbreviation and the correct word as the content, and TextExpander fixes it as you type. We’ve also passed along your request for a built-in list of common misspellings.

Since you spend your day answering customers, a few features may be worth a look:

Conditional Sections: Build every version of a customer reply into one Snippet, then pick the one you need as it expands, instead of keeping a separate Snippet for each scenario.

AI Recommendations: Surfaces the right Snippet from your library automatically, based on what you’re working on. No searching required.

MCP Server: Build and manage your Snippet library through conversation with AI tools like Claude or ChatGPT, which is a quick way to start exploring the AI side.

Thanks again for taking the time to share all this. Your feedback helps us make TextExpander better.

Best,

Lucas

"TextExpander Saves Me Time with Consistent, Efficient Messaging"

4.5/5

What do you like best about TextExpander?

What I like best about TextExpander is how much time it saves me throughout my workday. I send a lot of messages and repeat similar information daily, so having shortcuts for frequently used responses makes my job easier. It helps me stay organized, communicate more efficiently, and keep my messages consistent without having to type everything out each time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TextExpander?

One thing I dislike about TextExpander is that it can take some time to set up and remember all the shortcuts. Sometimes I have to go back and update my saved responses when information changes. Overall, it works well, but I wish managing and organizing shortcuts was a little easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is TextExpander solving and how is that benefiting you?

TextExpander helps me save time by reducing the amount of repetitive typing I do throughout my workday. Working in healthcare, I send a lot of similar messages, reminders, and follow-ups to patients. Instead of typing the same information over and over, I can use shortcuts to respond faster while keeping my communication clear and professional. It helps me stay productive, manage my workload better, and spend more time focusing on patients instead of typing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Lucas Leung of TextExpander

Hi Mandy,

Thank you for the kind review. We’re glad TextExpander saves you time on patient messages, reminders, and follow-ups, and that it frees you up to focus on patients instead of typing.

We hear you on setup, remembering shortcuts, and keeping saved responses up to date. For remembering shortcuts, Inline Search lets you hover to preview a Snippet and click to expand it, so you don’t need to recall the abbreviation. On Mac it’s Cmd + /, and on Windows it’s Ctrl + /. For updates and organizing, the TextExpander MCP Server lets you build and manage your Snippet library through conversation with AI tools like Claude or ChatGPT, so asking for a change to a saved response is as simple as describing what you need updated.

If you’d like help getting set up or organizing your library, our Support team is happy to help at supportteam@textexpander.com.

Thanks again for taking the time to share your experience.

"Lightning-Fast Snippets Across All Devices—Easy to Customize"

5/5

What do you like best about TextExpander?

I love that at my fingertips I have all the macros I need with short memorization. For emails, addresses, responses ready for many types of communications, and more. Using over a 100 snippets at this point. It's lightning fast and works well on all of my devices. On Windows, MacOS, and iOS. The app is very easy to use and customize to your liking. Having never dealt with support, I'd say I've had no reason to! The application is fluid and simple, anyone can get the most out of it in a short time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TextExpander?

The only thing I would change that I don't like about TextExpander is when the application doesn't load properly at startup and the macros stop working because the app isn't up. It's seldom, but it happens every once in awhile, even when the settings are turned on to run in the background and at machine start up. Could be sleep settings, but it's not common enough to be a major problem, I would just restart the app and I'm good to go! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Lucas Leung of TextExpander

edit

Thanks for the great review, Justin! Love that you’re running 100+ Snippets across Windows, Mac, and iOS and keeping the clipboard out of your day. I’m sorry TextExpander occasionally doesn’t load at startup, even with the background and startup settings on. If it keeps popping up, our Support team at supportteam@textexpander.com can help track down the cause so you don’t have to restart it.

"Streamlined Clinical Documentation and Faster Workflow with TextExpander"

4/5

What do you like best about TextExpander?

TextExpander has been a great tool for improving my daily workflow, especially as a therapist who spends a significant amount of time on clinical documentation and administrative tasks. I regularly use snippets for commonly used phrases, note templates, and repetitive responses. Being able to type a short abbreviation and have it expand into a full paragraph saves me a considerable amount of time.

The interface is straightforward, and I like how easy it is to create, organize, and update snippets. It also works across different applications, which is helpful since I use multiple systems throughout my workday. However, there are times when TextExpander doesn't work as expected, and snippets fail to expand. This can be frustrating, especially when I'm in the middle of documenting something and have to stop to troubleshoot or type everything manually.

TextExpander works well with most of the applications I use daily, including documentation systems, email, and other work-related platforms. I like that I can use the same snippets across different applications without having to recreate them. However, the experience isn't always consistent. There are times when snippets don't expand or TextExpander doesn't respond in certain applications, which can interrupt my workflow. Overall, the integration experience has been positive, but I would like to see better reliability across different platforms.

In terms of value, the time I save on repetitive documentation makes the subscription worthwhile. There is a bit of a learning curve when first setting up snippets and figuring out how to organize them, but once everything is in place, it becomes second nature.

I primarily use TextExpander for text automation rather than AI features, so I can't speak much to its AI capabilities. I also haven't needed much customer support.

Overall, TextExpander has helped me work more efficiently, maintain consistency in my documentation, and reduce repetitive typing. While I would like to see improvements in reliability, the benefits still outweigh the occasional frustrations. It's a tool I find valuable and use regularly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TextExpander?

My biggest frustration with TextExpander is that it doesn't always work consistently. Sometimes snippets don't expand as expected, even when they have worked previously, which can be frustrating when I'm trying to complete documentation quickly. I've also noticed that it doesn't always function the same way across different applications. Having to stop and troubleshoot interrupts my workflow and takes away from the time I'm supposed to be saving. I would like to see improvements in reliability and compatibility across platforms, especially considering it's a paid subscription.

The automated text expansion is definitely the feature I use the most. I can create shortcuts for frequently used phrases, clinical notes, and templates, which saves me a lot of repetitive typing throughout the day. I also like being able to customize snippets based on what I need. I haven't really explored the AI features, so I can't comment much on those. My only frustration is that the automation isn't always reliable, and sometimes snippets don't expand as expected. Overall, it's a useful tool that makes my workflow more efficient when it's working properly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is TextExpander solving and how is that benefiting you?

Before using TextExpander, I spent a lot of time repeatedly typing the same phrases, clinical documentation, and responses throughout the day. As a therapist managing a busy caseload, this became tedious and time-consuming. Now, I can use shortcuts to quickly insert frequently used text and templates, which has made my documentation process much more efficient. Instead of typing entire paragraphs, I can complete certain sections in just a few seconds. Although I haven't measured the exact time saved, the difference is noticeable throughout my workday. It has also helped me maintain consistency in my documentation and spend less time on administrative tasks. While occasional issues with snippets not expanding can be frustrating, the overall benefits have made it a valuable tool in my daily workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Thank you for such a detailed review! Glad TextExpander is cutting down your documentation time and keeping your notes consistent. I’m sorry Snippets don’t always expand, and that it behaves differently from app to app. That’s a real interruption when you’re mid-note, and it’s not the experience we want. Our Support team at supportteam@textexpander.com can look at the specific applications where it falls short and help get it working consistently.

"TextExpander Saves Hours with Fast, Reliable Snippets Across Mac and Windows"

5/5

What do you like best about TextExpander?

TextExpander has been a huge time-saver for me, especially when dealing with repetitive emails, customer communications, and order processing. I use it daily to simplify my workflow, whether I'm reaching out to new customers, requesting information, gathering order details, or responding to frequently asked questions.

Instead of typing the same information over and over, I simply enter a short code, and TextExpander instantly fills in the information I need. This saves me several minutes on almost every email, which really adds up throughout the day. It also helps me standardize communications and make sure I'm asking customers for all the information needed to process their orders.

One of the things I really appreciate is how simple and unobtrusive the user interface is. It doesn't get in the way of what I'm doing, and once everything is set up, it's pretty much a "set it and forget it" solution. You just type your codes, and it works! Creating and sharing snippets with your team is also incredibly easy, making it a great tool for keeping everyone consistent and saving time across the organization.

I use both Windows and Mac, and TextExpander works seamlessly with Chrome and across both operating systems. It's fast, reliable, and doesn't bog down my computer or interfere with my daily workflow.

The customer support has also been excellent. Whenever I've had a question, the support team has been responsive, helpful, and quick to provide answers. It's nice knowing that help is available when you need it.

I haven't explored the AI features extensively yet, but the little I've used them has already been helpful. I'm looking forward to seeing how much more they can improve my workflow as I start using them more.

The pricing is very reasonable, especially when you consider how much time it saves throughout the day. For anyone who sends a lot of emails, works with customers, processes orders, or repeatedly requests the same information, I highly recommend TextExpander. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TextExpander?

At this time, I honestly don't have any dislikes. TextExpander has been one of the easiest tools I've integrated into my daily workflow. The setup was straightforward, the learning curve was minimal, and everything has worked exactly as expected. Once it's configured, it just works without getting in the way. It's rare to find a tool that's this simple to implement while providing so much value. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is TextExpander solving and how is that benefiting you?

TextExpander solves one of my biggest daily challenges: the amount of time spent typing repetitive emails, requesting customer information, and communicating the same details throughout the ordering process.

As an Account Manager, I regularly work with new and existing customers, and many of my emails require the same questions, instructions, and information. Instead of rewriting everything or searching through old emails to copy and paste, I simply type a short code, and TextExpander instantly fills in what I need.

This saves me several minutes per email, which adds up to a significant amount of time throughout the week. It also helps reduce errors, keeps my communications consistent and professional, and ensures I don't forget to ask customers for important information needed to process their orders.

Another major benefit is being able to share snippets with my team, allowing everyone to use consistent messaging and follow the same processes. This makes onboarding new team members easier and improves efficiency across the organization.

Ultimately, TextExpander allows me to spend less time on repetitive administrative tasks and more time focusing on customers, building relationships, and generating sales. It's a simple solution that has made a noticeable difference in my daily productivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Thanks for the detailed review, Max, and for the kind words about our Support team. Since you're just starting to explore the AI features, try AI Recommendations in Chrome, which surfaces the right Snippet from your library based on what you're working on, so no searching is required when you're juggling customer emails and order details.

"Easy-to-Use Snippets Anywhere with Customizable Hotkeys"

5/5

What do you like best about TextExpander?

TextExpander is great for admin roles. I can call up my snippets from any text field. I don't have to cut and paste from other documents anymore. I can customize my hot keys, and I can modify my snippets as needed. It's so easy to use, the interface is quite self-explanatory. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TextExpander?

I've used TextExpander for both Mac and Windows platforms. I've found that when I use my hotkeys on my Windows computer, it doesn't always come up, or at the very least, it's slow to come up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Boosts Efficiency with Shortcuts, but Occasionally Misses Auto-Population"

3.5/5

What do you like best about TextExpander?

I have a lot of shortcuts, and TextExpander is able to contain all of them. I like having it run in the background while I work without having to open it repeatedly to use it. It definitely makes me able to work more efficiently, so I am able to complete more reports during my shift. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TextExpander?

Occasionally when I use a shortcut it won't auto populate what I have entered, which can be frustrating because it slows down my work flow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is TextExpander solving and how is that benefiting you?

There are quite a few phrases I use daily in my work, and TextExpander saves the time of having to write an entire phrase out and instead just use a few letters and it pops in exactly what I need. When TextExpander was not ready to use on my machine, I really could tell a difference in productivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Lucas Leung of TextExpander

edit

Thanks for the thoughtful review, Jessica, and I’m glad TextExpander is helping you get through more reports each shift. I’m sorry to hear some Snippets aren’t expanding when you use them, since that’s the kind of thing that breaks your flow. Please email our Support team at supportteam@textexpander.com with the app where it happens and an example abbreviation, and they’ll help track down what’s going on.

I like the UI and its so easy to use. It integrates really well with all the apps that I use on my laptop without any delays it just copies my snippets in a few seconds. the best part of it being free to use and has already got so many AI features inbuilt which helps me to be more productive at my work. I really like how easy is to use and was to set up initially with all the help available to create snippets and use them Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TextExpander?

I would say accidental expansion shortcuts can trigger when you don't intend them to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Lucas Leung of TextExpander

edit

Nelson, thanks so much for the kind words, and we're glad the AI features are helping your workday! To cut down on accidental expansions, try adding a prefix to your abbreviations, like a semicolon or another character you rarely type on its own. You can also check Advanced options on a Snippet to control how and when it expands. If it keeps happening with specific Snippets, our Support team can take a look at supportteam@textexpander.com.
