Texter : An easy way to type faster and avoid SMS language

Texter is a text replacement utility which can help you to type faster as well avoid using abbreviations. As far as i have tested it seems to work well, though since its based on a script, it might be a little off the mark.



Here's how to use it :


I have attached the video demo as RAR and ZIP files,

Rar -- Video in EXE format (1.71 MB) Attachment 5196
Zip -- Video in SWF format + and htm file with the swf embedded (1.61 MB)Attachment 5198

---------


1. Download :

Download the software from the page ,

Texter (Windows)



2. Installing

pretty much nothing to explain.



3. Adding hotstrings :

Adding a word to the program's list of "hotstrings" ~the words which need to be replaced.

Use the "+" and "-" to remove the hotstrings.

Attachment 5197




4. Hotstring window :

In add hotstring , enter the abbreviation on the left side and the replacement text on the right side.

below , check any one of the triggers to replace the text

Instantly - as soon as you type the text will be replaced. Better to assaign this to unique words.

For example : If 'r' is abbreviation of 'are', then typing 'race' will
result in 'arece'

Tab,Enter, Space : the words will be entered only when whichever of
these assigned keys are pressed after typing the
hotstring.




5. Testing :

run any program which requires text input and test it out !



Notes :

1. I haven't extensively used it either, i found that sometimes, the print screen key wasn't working when it was enabled,so if you are facing any such problems , close the program.

2. It would be nice to enable it to run at windows startup for convenience because it does not create any shortcuts, however you can create one yourself from the program files directory.

I hope use sms language will be reduce by using this software .Good thread prouser

Nice find NPU. :thumbup1:

Too bad it's not smart. It's will take some time for SMS posters to configure. They will have to add alternatives to every words they are going to use. A better option for them is speech recognition software. :tt2:

This is ridiculous
Why can't people learn to spell and type correctly in English?
Why do they have to rely on software as a crutch for proper
language and communication skills

some people need much more than a texter to achieve that ;-)

-F

IT is difficult to understand most of the abbrevations so this software could be of great help but some abbrevations in text language seem to be pretty cool like GN TC & so on........

If autohotkey works in linux, you can get the source from the link and use it in linux.

Softwares help in avoiding mistakes. For example, spelling checker will help in correcting spellings. But you have to make an effort to learn from the mistakes.

The goal should be to avoid dependence on any "crutches".

i dont know why guys out there making such silly text thingies...

one who has incorporated a good vocabulary in his bloody mind can stay far off from mistakes..

Too bad for them. Unfortunate part of the Darwin law of natural selection.

I am not saying that it is nice but those who will not adapt will not survive.

+1
instead of using scripts and softwares, please use your hands or fingers rather. Is it so difficult to type correct english. There is no 160 character limit on your keyboard or IBF or almost anywhere over the internet for that matter.

Exactly what I have been saying all along.

I never use SMS text unless I am trying to post something humourous or that, and it justifies SMS text.

Why would someone need an app to type full and proper English, unless they are illiterates or are just learning English, but the blurb of the app saying it is to help people stop typing in SMS is very ludicrous, as it's only the people that can help themselves.
