You spend all day on your computer and you type thousands of phrases, but did you ever think about how many of those phrases and keystrokes are actually repetitive? Zack demonstrates how to use the app TextExpander to outsource and create hot keys for some of your most commonly repeated phrases so you can save time in your day.
- [Instructor] If you can't already tell,…I love to geek out about productivity.…So far, we've covered a lot of cool tips…and cool apps…as well as larger systems that you can put in place…to become a productivity machine.…Now, I'm going to demonstrate a must have app…that I can't live without that's called TextExpander.…In my opinion,…this app is a jaw dropper.…TextExpander is similar to apps…that you can use to program multiple commands or macros.…But, imagine being able to apply that…to any phrase or keystroke that you can come up with.…
And the length of what you type is infinite.…Let's dive right in.…So you'll see with TextExpander,…it's a very simple interface.…And what I've also done…is I've opened up a very simple text edit document…so I can demonstrate how the process works.…Unlike keyboard macros…where it's just going to be a specific string of keys…that might be hot keys or commands,…with TextExpander,…the options for what you can create are virtually limitless.…So I'm going to show you the basic theory…
