Best Text Expander software for Windows
Josh:
+1 to 40hz comments. I absolutely despise the use of "edition" terminology when it is not appropriate.

Would love to see a comparison of Breevy and PhraseExpress.
Breevy continually adds new things- did you know that you can make a folder full of abbreviations pop up as a context menu in any window for you to choose an abbreviation?

PhraseExpress does this since 2006:
It also has some unique extra features:
* PhraseExpress automatically offers a popup menu when you re-use the same Autotext for multiple phrases.
* You can also assign a hotkey instead of just an Autotext which offers additional options to quickly select the desired item from the popup menu.
* The popup does not interrupt your typing flow when it is shown. If you ignore it, it automatically disappears after a few keystrokes.
* You can make any popup menu a "floating menu" that stays on the desktop for easy access.
* Phrases can also be selected via a customizable quick-key.
* A preview of the phrase contents is shown if you hover over items in the popup.
* The popup menu look can be configured in detail.
Here is a list of features in PhraseExpress for comparison.

Is it just me, or is some of this thread starting to read like an ad? ;)
