Ok, I’ve been using it for a while and can honestly say it’s a mixed bag. First, it does not always load at startup. Two you must enable it after evoking it. That is rather stupid. The default should be on not off. Thirdly, and this is a rather large problem, every time I evoke it it re-installs. This is simple ridiculous. And now for the fourth problem — the amount of standard keywords is quite small.
I am referring to %shortdate% and %time% and %date%. I would like to be able to shorten the full date to just, Monday, Jan 7th or whatever I would like for showing the date. The same argument of course goes for the time issue. Also I would like a keyword that changes my timezone or sets it for the program…I don’t want it using the system timezone I want it to use Californian timezone.

Well those are the bulk of my problems. Nick

I use the Freeware PhraseExpress which is even more powerful at ZERO cost.

Check out the beta. It’s a killer!

I thought this a great idea unfortunately after installing, which is did flawlessly, when I rebooted my machine,it was no longer usable. So I can’t give this that kudos I had hoped.

I think this program was somewhat ok, but I this site(giveawayoftheday) is ridiculous, its only a trial period. Why do I say that? If your software is uninstalled for any reason, forget about reinstalling. It will not register. I think this site is a waste of everybody’s time. It should close down now, toda!!!!!!!!!!!.

Don’t you just love it when people get passionate about a subject? Even though I am not downloading this particular program because I think it is overpriced and too small and simple to be commercially viable in light of a number of similar products already available, some for free, I still enjoyed reading all the back-and-forth in the sixty (60!) comments above. Keep it up (but please keep it civil)! P.S. What do I do when my previous comment was apparently deleted or otherwise did not make it onto the posted comments? I did not get any notification that anything was wrong when I submitted it to you.

I found that i spent too much time setting up the sentences and codes for it to be a time saver. I write varied phrases and sentences and like to create new modes of thought so it didn’t suit me. Maybe for a customer support service?

There’s a problem with the thinking and pre-conception of this Jitbit AutoText app – it is the assumption that you will always be using the same phrases or sentences in your writing. I like to vary my writing with more creativity so it is not really a time saver for me.
