It's so expensive that it would be great to have this one here again.

Can we see about having this run on GotD again please?

My mistake on my last post... I was rushing as I was near the deadline and entered the serial number instead of the license key. But I never did get the license sent to my first email address. Thanks... it looks like a good program.

I love this, I have been using it for years and it has saved me hundreds of hours, and I don't think I ever go a day now without it coming in very handy, avoids typos and is ideal for answering FAQ's from my customers emails, and I know my answers will be detailed and error free, and I only need to type a few key strokes

Okay. I read through the earlier comments and tried downloading the v. 4.8.1 file. Installed and upgraded to 4.9.0 successfully. Thanks! Hope it will work now!

Perfect, easy installation; key was emailed to me within minutes; intuitive setup and use. It's been working perfectly for me in emails and online so far. To those worried about forgetting your key combos, just write them down somewhere!
Thank you very much, GAOTD and Phrase Expander!!!

Works on Vista.

No more multiple mouse clicks in order to type µSD. Before it was 1) click Start, 2) type "charmap", 3) locate and click on the micro character, 4) click Select, 5) click Copy, and 6) return to my actual work window and paste "µ").

Even though I'm just a home user, I think I already like this. Thanks GOTD and Nagarsoft.

Seems to be very smart and thoughtful in walking us through our first use of the program, like giving suggestions (I took "calc"). Thoughtful in that the author(s) apparently recognize the need to gently yet firmly introduce us to their program, since most people have now interacted with thousands, or tens of thousand, of different programs and apps, so have less patience for introducing yet another into their lives.

I bought the Pro version (at a discount) after installing this giveaway around 2 years ago. It's great. I use this giveaway to install it in my tablet pc (surface pro 3) but it does not scale well with the 2k resolution (looks tiny). Is there a way to improve that?

Andrea, I have downloaded the GOTD file and failed to even get to install. I have downloaded the older version from your website, and the program is now in Program Files (86) in Windows 7 Home. But I cannot start it directly or as administrator.After trying compatibility settings and checking MS I am getting "program incompatible". This may be something you have an answer to, but I have been having trouble with two [won't install] GOTD programs in the past week or so.

I am wondering if there is some problem from Windows updates, which seem to be arriving almost daily. If you have any ideas I would be grateful.

Does the software support UNICODE or languages with accents, like French or Vietnamese? Thank you.

As I don't do social media, I typed in my email address and a 'link' was sent there, however, the link only brings up a blank page; when I went back to try again, the window said the (previous) link had already been sent, so I could not. And I still get a blank page.

OK. NOW WORKING - Thanks.

Ms I installed the program just fine, but it will not open. Please advise on what I can do to remedy this. Thank you.

I like the concept but how safe it is? Are my passwords going to end up all over my computer or, worse, somewhere on the internet?
If my clipboard has personal information can someone get that info?
How about encryption, does it have any?

This doesn't seem to work in my email client (eM Client), and is therefore basically useless to me. (It also didn't work in TaskCoach, or in this very comment text box in Google Chrome.)

Disappointing; I was finally ready to try one of these sorts of tools.

I have not installed this program but I guess as with any other software of this kind you have to remember the shortcuts. It does not seem very useful to me.

I found this program on GOTD a year or two ago and find it indispensible. Just the clipboard function -- being able to quickly choose and insert anything you've copied in the recent past -- is invaluable, and having about 10-15 frequently used paragraphs that I can insert any time, I really notice it if the program is not running for any reason. One caveat... be absolutely certain you have checked the back-up automatically box. I lost all my data once. And about two weeks ago the database crashed on me, luckily I could restore it this time from the back-up.

Installation quickly pops up a small window, Select Setup Language, and clicking OK has no effect. Installation is stuck on this window. Then it occurred to me that I recently upgraded to Windows 10. Is Windows 10 supported?

Well the older version I had worked great... But this one can't seem to open its database, not even a new one.

- Start Error message -
There was an error opening the database 'c:\Doe... ... \PhraseExpanderData.ipdb'.
Check that you have selected a valid PhraseExpander database or if it's alreeady in use by another application.

The specified cryptogrephic algorithm is not supported on this platform.

- End Error message -

OS: Windows XP Pro Sp3
Computer: Dell Precision 490, Intel Quad core

So now what?

I've been using this program for several months and it is great for creating keyboard shortcuts for things you type frequently. Like long email address etc. It's a keeper.

Andrea: What are the main differences between V11.0.121f that is on Cnet and V4.9.0? The version number difference is confusing.

Do you offer a "lifetime" purchase option for either the standard or pro version?

VERY happy to see this one returning to GOTD. I used it on my previous system and I am unfortunately not a person that can shell out $150 or $99 for software. I can and will however recommend this to the readers of my blog and site. Very usefull and easy to use. Thank you GOTD and Nagarsoft, very happy camper today

@ Andrea.
I didn't know what i can do this sofrware until you reply to one of the comments. This software is good for doctors, lawyers and customer care ppl. You should include that in your sales presentation. Otherwise, many ppl think it's just a clipboard app.

Can I save the database in a dropbox directory, so that I can use it on my Desktop and Laptop as well.

Will this work with Libre?

Program works fine and does what it says it does. I like and prefer another program http://www.asutype.com does everything this GOTD does, works on all platforms, has free trial, excellent support, easier to use and the cost is $40.00.

Have been using the Pro version for more than a year and trust me my overall productivity has increased and I can do a lot of my repetitive typings, send quotations, etc. very very quickly and efficiently.

Andrea is always there for the help and keeps adding the stuff I ask.

P.S.: The above review is based on my personal experience using my purchased license, and I have no intention to get any benefit for this.

Very nice application, highly recommend it. Thanks a lot to GAOTD and Andrea. Just one question: can users create new glossaries? Is there a tool that converts a text table file or, say, a .csv file to .ipglo format (I.e., the format of binary glossary files)?

You have to jump through a few hoops to install, but it is a very useful program. I am constantly rewriting the same phrases, email addresses, etc and this will save me loads of time
Thanks

I've using a previous version. I like how Andrea Nagar, developer of this software, answers very quicky, accurately and gently every question you make to him by e-mail (by the way, I'm not a relative nor friend of him).

I've been using this since last year, probably a previous giveaway, and it's quite handy, especially for inserting my email address via a shortcut. I'd like to upgrade to this version and possibly explore more of its possibilities, but after the GAOTD box shows up, it get the will not install message. I've started over with a second download, but that didn't work either. This has not happened before; what's the problem? And, of course, the solution. Thanks.

I tried and bought this program a few years ago. It runs daily on my pc. I can't live without. Whenever I had a question Andrea was very quick to respond and was very helpful. I highly recommend it.

Apparently installed OK but program won't complete start-up once registered, as it indicates that it can't find its database or that the program won't run on the platform (XP) (have tried restarting PC)

Does this work with MS Word .doc & .docx? Which versions of Word are compatible?

I guess I am just a lil techno stupid. I just don't get this program. How is this any more than a spell checker and clipboard? For $149 the top two reasons given for buying it are automatic backups and built in spell checker. That's what it says right up there.

Looks very good, but I wonder if this license will expire after one year - looks as if it might expire.

Good afternoon All ,
I am warmly recommending this software ,everyone should have ,it is really a MUST HAVE-. It is a wonderful tool in day by day working /using PC.

Thank you ,best regards

To register this software you are asked to visit this page to provide your name and email address....

You then receive an email and after you confirm and agree to subscribe to their list you receive the key in a second email. Be prepare to copy and paste because this is no ordinary key.

Here are the differences between the Standard version and the Professional version...

For me I would be interested in this for my computer at work. Unfortunately I do not have administrative rights on this computer so I an very limited in what I can do. If this will install I will try it. In the past a company spokesperson has been active on the site to answer questions. I hope that is the case this time. Thank you GOTD team and Nagarsoft.

The only installation issue was the demand for my Email address which, I think, is inappropriate.

However, although this app looks useful, the thing that kills it is the unannounced perversion of a vital Windows shortcut: [Alt]-[Space].

When there is difficulty with an HID such as a mouse, the only way to open the System Menu may be to use [Alt]-[Space]. Without this option, it may not be possible to recover or manipulate mal-positioned windows.

Please tell me how to restore this functionality without uninstalling PhraseExpander -- or the app is un-useable.

Many thanks,
