Version 2.0 now uses "sets" (=folders) for different abbreviation types.

RapidoWrite may be nice, but if you look at their list of unsupported apps it says that they don't support MS Office, Pages, or Firefox (and potentially by extension, other apps which use the Gekko engine, even Camino, even though that's Cocoa-based). That's a huge deal-breaker for me, since I spend most of my typing time in those apps.

What puzzles me is why Pages isn't supported, even though it's Cocoa-based and hence should work with the InputManager-based approach that RapidoWrite takes to do what it does.

I purchased Typinator when it was featured on MacZOT! I don't understand why it [version 2.0, at least] is not as popular as Textpander.

"It does what it says on the tin."

Typinator does everything I thought it would do, and does it well. Most of my comments on this site refer to programs I really like and how they "just work." This is another such comment about another such program.

I have a few handy abbreviations set up, and they were why I purchased the program but, through use, I've come to realise I most value the auto-correct feature. My common typos, the ones I make through inattention or exhaustion, are corrected immediately regardless of whether I'm e-mailing or replying to an instant message.

It makes me look better than I really am. More programs should do that! :-)

I run 3.0 and I cant do without it, works in all iWork apps on my machine.

Just got Typinator as part of the MacUpdate Bundle Deal. I can already see this is going to be a great surprise. Looks like my money was well spent.

I tried TextExpander and TypeIt4Me (which I actually purchased) and Typinator wipes the floor with them. It expands fast in all apps I've tried (unlike TypeIt4Me), it has lots of options as to expansion (i.e., per-abbreviation space options), and the full size interface is much more useable than the prefpanes of the other two. It also has nice per-app and per-abbreviation exclusion capabilities. My only gripe is that it's a bit of a pain to create new abbreviations because there is no shortcut for it, but I can live with that.

Great little app.

Works exactly the way I want it. Tried both Rapidowrite and Textexpander but had problems with both of them.

I have had problems with the other apps in this class but Typinator works as advertised. Tech support is prompt and courteous.

I had never any problems with slimmed apps, except for VLC Player.

Regular updates with new features - it is a good buy.

This little utility is great. So far I've used it 4 times and had absolutely no problems, and it's shaved all but 2 apps for a total of over a gig of HD real estate recovered. The price is modest and well worth it. What makes it so valuable to me is that it's nicely configurable as to what apps (and even volumes) you can exclude, like the external HD I archive the original downloads onto, and you can do the entire system in one fell swoop if that's your pleasure. It shaves both unnecessary binaries and languages. For me, this is an essential addition to my system maintenance folder.

Mono does the same thing (more or less) for free, as well as removing language files and other stuff (language files are a lot bigger).

Xslimmer is fantastic and has an auto or 'genie' mode... I've NEVER had problems and use it routinely esp on Powerbook to save space. This SW ought to be in everyone's computer bag!!!!

Wow, great app. As an example, iTunes went from 114Mb to 32.4Mb....and that's just one app.
Brilliant.

I saved loads of space with this app. Well worth the small donation. I run it on a regular basis to help keep my drive filling with unneeded stuff.

if you don't want to pay, all you have to do is get appdelete and after you've save ~50 mb of the trial, appdelete it, drag it back out of trash, and it has 50 mb left again!!!

ABSOLUTLEY USEFULL !!!!

AAA+++

Add me to the happy user list. 2.06 GB free'd up for me.

This app cleared up 2.3 GB on my hard drive! Works like magic.

I got it as part of the most recent Macheist, but it'd be well worth $12 if you're on the fence about purchasing.

Groxx: You ever noticed each update for Itunes is 250mb? It all goes into bloating that program. If you download like 4 or 5 of them, unpacked and installed it ends up making itunes 1gb, which it doesnt need to be. Programs like this remove old versions, unnecessary files, and trim seldom used ones.

Does exactly what it says, and does that very fast and without any hassle for the user. I had no problems whatsoever. A pure delight and worth every penny, especially for me on a MacBook Pro with limited harddrive space.
