What do users & experts say about TypeIt4Me?

In its August 1992 issue, MacWorld called TypeIt4Me "indispensable" and a "truly wonderful shareware gizmo".
And in April 1996 it awarded it a four star rating. TypeIt4Me for OS X was again reviewed in July 2003 and got a 3.5 mice rating.
More recently, on page 39 of the March 2005 issue of MacFormat UK, TypeIt4Me was said to have "done more to enrich our lives than the internal combustion engine, coffee, sliced bread and Catherine Zeta-Jones combined" - wow!

MacUser gave it the 1994 Shareware Award for Best Publishing Tool.

It also won America Online's "The MUT 1996 Shareware Awards"

David Pogue & Joseph Schorr "a spectacular typing-shortcut utility" "a blessing for anyone who uses the Mac for typing" Authors, Mac & PowerMac SECRETS

   

In an article on Now Utilities, MacWeek's Ross Scott Rubin had this to say: "And Now Auto Type lacks the stability and some features of TypeIt4Me, Riccardo Ettore's mature shareware control panel"

And Bob "Dr. Mac" LeVitus said this in an article on Spell Catcher: "The other feature that I use daily (hourly?) is the glossary, where you store typing shortcuts that work in any program. For example, when I type "vty(space)" Spell Catcher expands it to "very truly yours," in the wink of an eye. I type "sfd(space)" and "Macintosh System 7.5 For Dummies" appears in my document. Complete with the quotation marks. Trust me, you'll quickly become addicted to this feature if you just take the time to learn to use it. A brief aside: If you aren't going to spring for Spell Catcher, the shareware program TypeIt4Me by Riccardo Ettore does this trick (but not spell checking or any of the other stuff). It's worth getting one or the other if you type much. "

"I've discovered that this program is absolutely great as far as writing is concerned. Having built my data file one word at a time, I can for the first time write as fast as I can think. Or, to type those two sentences with expansion turned off: iv dscvd ta th prg s absl gr afa wrig s ksnd. Vg blt my data file one word at a ti, i c f t first ti wri as fast as ic tq." Hendrik Hertzberg -Senior Editor, The New Yorker Magazine (in shorthand: --hhhh, sr edr, tnyer mag)

"[TypeIt4Me is] a long running, Mac friendly, well-supported utility. Still the best -- Quickeys and Oneclick and the others may do other things, but they just don't do text replacement as well and easily." Stephen Fry acclaimed British actor, comedian and author.

"TypeIt4Me (by Riccardo Ettore) is the most intuitive of the expansion utilities." Deborah Shadovitz Contributing Editor and Columnist, MacCentral

        

"Check it out. It's one of my favorite pieces of software-- I use it to input all the keywords for EvangeList." Guy Kawasaki Apple Fellow and Mac Evangelist
