The user can set up keyboard shortcuts and abbreviations as triggers to input specific words and phrases. Not only is PhraseExpress easy to set up and use, it’s also free for personal use. There are a number of text expansion solutions available, but in this article I will focus on two: PhraseExpress and TextExpander.

Text expansion can be a great productivity boost, and given that it is so easy to set up and start using, I believe every language professional can benefit from it.

I have abbreviations and expansions that I have used for years, but I also add new ones all the time, even when they will just be used for a short period of time, such as a company name that appears in a corporate video subtitling job. I use text expansion when translating, transcribing, and subtitling. I also use text expansion for standard email replies, such as my reply when I receive a job that I can or can’t accept, for the email body that accompanies my invoices and for phrases and long words in general. Instead, I type abbreviations that get expanded after I type a punctuation mark or press a trigger key, such as the spacebar or Enter key.
