SmileOnMyMac has released TextExpander 2.0.5, an update to its customizable typing shortcut tool for Mac OS X. With TextExpander, users can define abbreviations for frequently-used text strings and images, also known as snippets. When an abbreviation is typed, it expands automatically to the full snippet. This update corrects a problem with the Dvorak keyboard layout, as well as bugs in registration and program launch.
A 30-day fully-functioning demo of TextExpander can be downloaded at https://www.smileonmymac.com/textexpander/download.html. The price is $29.95. A Family Pack license is available for $44.95, which covers up to five computers in one household. Mac OS X 10.4 is required. TextExpander 2.0.5 is a free update for registered users of TextExpander 1.x and 2.x.
