TypeIt4Me Testimonials & Reviews

I’ve discovered that this program is absolutely great as far as writing is concerned. Having built my data file one word at a time, I can for the first time write as fast as I can think. Or, to type those two sentences with expansion turned off: iv dscvd ta th prg s absl gr afa wrig s ksnd. Vg blt my data file one word at a ti, i c f t first ti wri as fast as ic tq.

Thanks for making TypeIt4Me. Among my non-Apple software, your tiny application has consistently proven to be the biggest, best, most-used workhorse in my software arsenal. I can’t even begin to fathom the amount of keystrokes I’ve saved over 18 years — but I can wrap my head around how much stress I’ve avoided thanks to TypeIt4Me. TypeIt4Me is incredibly personal, yet universally helpful — Thanks, and Bravo!!!

Your app has been an enormous benefit to me and I love it. I just completed a major scientific field guide, 10 years in the making, and since the demise of SpellMaster I ported over my British English shorthands which contained all my shortcuts for the families, genera and species, and also did some quite complicated “scripting” with things involving tabbing, backspacing, moving the curser and so on. It’s a wonder, really, considering I am hampered (enhanced perhaps?) by the red wine diet and all.

I just used TypeIt4Me for the tenth time today, and it reminded me how much I depend on this program! When I first bought TypeIt4Me, I used it for signatures, addresses and other very short clippings. Then, I realized I could enter as much text as I wanted. Since then, I have more than 25 boilerplate emails, anywhere from one to six paragraphs, that I can send with no effort. I could not believe the number of times I was retyping text until I got this program.

It seems I write for a living, whether it’s patient reports, medical journal articles or responding to baskets-full of daily emails. TypeIt4Me allows simple abbreviations to be converted into snippets that can be one word — or one page — long. TypeIt4Me is especially helpful when I need to include often-used technical phrases or quickly respond to emails containing frequently asked questions. I’ve used TypeIt4Me for five years and its “Stats” say that the program has saved me 44 hours of typing and nearly 1,000,000 keystrokes. I say TypeIt4Me has increased my productivity, decreased my stress and saved my sanity.

This is a product that I literally don’t think about until I get on a system that doesn’t have it. Then I miss it. I miss it like a missing thing that’s missed. It’s that handy and useful… If you type a lot and you aren’t using TypeIt4Me, you’re wasting more effort than you know.

I have had your app for so long, I feel that I almost know you. What an absolutely indispensable app. I have used it so much over the years, I don’t know what I would have done without it.  You’ve saved me countless hours and I just want to say THANK YOU!!!! :)

I really like your product. I teach educational and psychological assessment at a university.
Responding to student work often takes hours, particularly when there are a number of things that need to be said. TypeIt4me has probably cut my grading time in half while allowing me to make very specific recommendations about things that tend to be recurring problems for my students.

Riccardo Ettore’s TypeIt4Me is a more powerful and systemwide autocomplete utility that has been around for a while on the classic Mac OS, and more recently on OS X — and my fingers haven’t been quite so happy in a long time.

If you use TypeIt4me diligently for a few weeks and begin to realize its benefits in your efficiency, you will NEVER – read me, now – you will NEVER want to go back to a machine that doesn’t run it.

TypeIt4Me is one of the best programmes I have ever purchased. I use it all the time and it must have saved me many hours of typing time over the years.You are welcome to use that as a reference anytime and I hope sales are good!

TypeIt4Me as you have noticed from how long I have been using it, is for me a Mac staple. It is the one indispensable utility that has kept me company in my computing through the many iterations of the Mac from the days before Mac OS X. I can’t remember when I discovered it, but it filled an immediately recognised need and got better. So it is one of the first things that goes on my Mac when I get a new one.

This is a great, time-saving application for anyone who has a lot of repetitious text to type, especially in word processing applications. I highly recommend it!

Guy Kawasaki said TypeIt4Me changed his life; I’m not sure I would go that far, but I *really* don’t see how I could live without it. ;-) It truly is one of the most helpful applications anywhere.

[ TypeIt4me ] for me is…. “a wonderful Game Changer.” I have a learning disability, and have suffered my whole life from a personal embarrassment of not being able to spell, so for me TypeIt4me is nothing short of a revolution in my dysfunctional life and I use it all the time… I highly recommend this simple but powerful tool to anyone, it has really helped me… thank you TypeIt4me. PS… I used TypeIt4me 3 times in this one sentence.

I ran the support for SplashData for four years and TypeIt4me actually became the core Technical Support response system. I developed a taxonomy for issues with over 400 modular snippets that I could mix and match to build custom email responses. I was able to single-handedly run the support organization for SplashData thanks to TypeIt4me.

We have 5 copies of TypeIt4Me and we have been using this little app since the mid-nineties. During that time this utility has probably saved us thousands of hours when inputting repetitive but different pieces of information into databases and other applications. This little application is a hero and we thank Ettore for his development and continued support of this wonderful little utility.

Thank you Riccardo for, in my opinion, the best Mac application ever. #2 is Filemaker Pro.
