- (2024-05-31) Zakir: Thank you, was looking for something like this for months. I did not know it was called text expander. Had to ask ai what to even search for. But this is an amazing tool for anyone using a browser for work. Documenting and signing off medical charts is a core part of my job. Finding ways to speed up work flow is a must for all providers. A lot of providers use text to speech. But I am not a fan. This extension has enabled me to set up all the common phrases, diagnosis, medications, I need for documentation and has not only speed up my work flow, it also reduces mental and eye fatigue as I dont have to constantly go back and correct miss spelled words. And for the providers uses dot phrases, this is much faster than what I have used in standard EMRs. Dot phrases are like looking through a phone book when trying to find the right one. This is instant. I can't thank you enough for this.
- (2024-05-27) Lisa Frey: It's a wonderful, easy-to-use program! Typing a double // as the hotkey is quick and natural to type. Their shortcuts work consistently. I also like that my data can be easily exported and backed up on my computer in CSV file format, then imported onto other computers I use (ex. home computer and work computer). Their tech support is fantastic, too! When I reached out with a question, they replied the same day with a satisfactory answer. They also helped me work through the process of converting my data from another expander program (150 individual snippets' worth of data) into CSV file format and importing the file smoothly into their program. It's a solid program and fantastic tech support!
- (2024-05-24) Justin: Just works! Wish they had an Android client as well.
- (2024-05-12) もか: Works perfectly well<3
- (2024-04-26) Rex Gratidian: I'm amazed by how simple and effective the extension is! No limits (at least I haven't found any), no trial periods, just simple and free tool to make your work typing routine better. I recommended it for my team and would gladly recommend again to anyone if I have a chance. Keep up a great work and thank you for an amazing product! 💞
- (2024-04-19) Jerry: My browser extension encountered an error and failed to save the edits. I emailed the CS team, and they responded quickly with super-friendly and helpful assistance!
- (2024-04-09) Maih: It's free and it works. Just wish there was a way to sort through everything. Edit: Found this works for sorting alphabetical: export, sort entries in csv, and import back.
- (2024-03-28) Justin Quinn: Worked great -- until it didn't. Now it won't let me save new shortcuts nor edit old ones.
- (2024-03-21) Qazi Iqbal: Hello, I’m really impressed with this tool—thank you! Could you tell me if there’s a method to import and export shortcuts and snippets for use across multiple devices?
- (2024-03-12) Unity soft tech: Great Extension, loving it so much.
- (2024-02-28) Joseph Gund: very solid extension, would you be able to take a look at shortcuts pasting what is also on the ctrl + v clipboard? happens randomly / infrequently (the best kind of bug) but would help a lot with relying on the tool. few other users i know that use this tool also experience the same issue
- (2024-01-23) Squalle: Seems to work some places, but not many of the places I need. Edit: After uninstalling, the helper window still appears randomly.
