What is Reddit's opinion of Breevy?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

All the stuff I use at home has been mentioned, but I couldn't bear to do my job without two tools I use almost every minute:

• Breevy - a text expander. I tried a few others (they had to be portable, narrowing the pool) and it was the only one that worked flawlessly. One day I may put in the time to learn autohotkey, but Breevy is so much easier for simple text expanding. Its not free, but I would say the hours its saved me at work are invaluable.

• Ditto - totally free clipboard manager. Lets me go through my copy-paste history and find stuff I copied previously so I never have to worry about overwriting important info I've just captured. Has saved my butt, my time, and my sanity.

I work in a call center where capturing info quickly is important and if I didn't have the tools above, I would loath my job.

Actually, I do. But not often, because I mostly enter those with Breevy, so I can just type cc[NumPad +] and it expands it to my credit card number, or phone[NumPad +] to enter my phone number.

AutoHotKey is very powerful, but if you are just looking for text expansion there are Breevy and Phrase Express which can be a little easier to setup.

Edit: is -> are

Check out Breevy if you're on Windows or TextExpander on Mac. They both have libraries of common typos. Should help out a bit.

the autocorrection is an option in breevy's setting

Good Luck !

The site says it's not secure, but it is kosher.

It is an easier way of setting up 'autocorrects' but basically macros as you type rather than having to 'record' them in Word. I can't work without it!

Have a look/play but happy to explain how I use it further if you like it. I spend my day typing up documents so I've loads of short cuts on it.

:-(

Seems unfair they have changed it.

Another option is to use Breevy. Have a look and see if doing an 'if this is typed put it to this'. There's some other magic in there too, so it could be that if you insert a citation, you can get it to input it with () rather than [].

Transcribing is all about accuracy. But often the accuracy comes together when you are proofreading and checking your work. Transcription mistakes aren't necessarily typing mistakes. It can be you miss out a word or you type the wrong word. You have to bear in mind that you need speed as well, as in being able to transcribe 15 mins (approx min) of audio in an hour (so four hours for a one-hour file) so it might be more worthwhile building that. It can then take you another hour to proofread, make corrections, and, if you are being super good, checking it against the audio at the same time. You can speed things up and make sure you're not increasing errors in tricky words or common phrases by using shortcuts via something like Breevy . http://www.16software.com/breevy/ Good luck!

OK GUESS WHAT !!
Today I saw a compelling work-related reason (not related to this topic) to learn Linux.

I would not have said this yesterday, but YES I am game to try Linux on my X1 Extreme.

2 questions:

1) Can Breevy, an awesome text expander app in Windows, still work on it?

5 minutes after using Breevy for first time , I couldn't live without it. I now have hundreds of snippets saved and a ton less typing needed.

​

2) Does a flavor of Red Hat Linux work on the X1 Extreme?

I use breevy (http://www.16software.com/breevy/) a text replacement app (more information on text replacement here), so that when I type something like

section--

It replaces it with

§

​

It also comes in handy if you write blocks of text frequently, like when I write

casebrief--

It replaces it with

>*Facts
>
>*Procedural History
>
>*Issues
>
>*Rule
>
>*Holding
>
>*Analysis
>
>*Questions

The only caveat is that since it's done by a 3rd party app, you won't be able to use during an exam.

So there are a couple of options:

You can use a Text Expander app like "Word Expander" or "Breevy" to autocomplete any phrase you want. You set the abbreviation you want and it will fill out the rest. Both apps will work in any Windows program (Word, OneNote, Notepad++, Evernote, etc)

Note-Taking apps:

I'm a fan of OneNote & Notepad++. But there are tons, just depends on what OS you're using, if you want syncing across multiple devices, and if you're willing to pay or not.

Yes just search for text expansion. PhraseExpress is a nice Windows app for this. Lifehacker also has their own program: Texter. If you are willing to pay then consider Breevy.

Checkout Breevy. You can create your own abbreviations for WP snippets, so you don't have to constantly type out long strings, or copy/paste them from other files. I actually have whole blank templates stored as abbreviations, so I can conjur them when/wherever I need (notepad, dreamweaver, online editor, etc.). Also doubles as a handy program launcher, too.

When I ordered it, I searched for a discount code, and was happy to find "REDDIT" got me a considerable amount off. This was over a year ago though, so I'd imagine that probably has changed.
