    This looks like a good program if you use repetitive paragraphs, lengthy phrases, letters, vs one-liners. The term combo= trigger phrase. Beeftext has some emoji and Powershell capability. Saves and exports to .json. .Json is tougher to edit than .txt in TyperTask, and BeefText won't do multiple choice like Espresso, but it doesn't have popups like Espresso which can get in the way of typing, and it has a good GUI unlike TyperTask. BeefText will play sounds after typing the snippet.

Works well, but not as fast and streamlined as Espanso in my opinion. Yeah, this is a GUI, but an elementary student could figure out Espanso, which also has tons of packages you can install.

But this one still seems to work very well.

Perfect, easier than hotkeys (fewer options too) and brings me only what I want, a text expander.

What is Beeftext?

Are you tired of repeatedly typing the same text over and over again?

  • The custom email signature you only use for your close friends.
  • The markdown snippet you use 5 times a day.
  • The text emoji you like so much (/) (°,,,°) (/).

Beeftext is made for you. Define a combo - a short word that you are unlikely to type in a normal situation - and associate it with the long or complex text you often type. From now on, every time you type the combo, in any text area of any application that support copy/paste (99.9% of them do), the combo is automatically replaced with the substitution text you defined. And thanks to unicode encoding, this text can be in any language.

Beeftext is:

  • Free.
  • Open Source.
  • Ad-free.
  • Available in a portable format in addition to the standard installer.
