Huge productivity boost, exceptional value
FastKeys Automation is a Text Expander. You can assign a few characters as a shortcut, and when you type the shortcut, the program replaces it with a few words or a few paragraphs. It is worth the exceptionally low price just for that. But it is far more sophisticated. You can assign variables for user input during the Text Expansion. You are prompted to type your input, select from a list, or even pull data from an Excel spreadsheet. In addition to the Text Expander, the program includes modules for keystroke macros and customizable popup start menus. All this in an easy-to-use program. I was productive in less than 30 minutes. Time savings come in small pieces (5 secs here, 30 seconds there) but add up over the course of your day. It paid for itself in less than a week. This program is a Gem.
