Today we’re going to talk about Phrase Express and how this simple application can save you time and money by assigning common repetitive tasks to simple key strokes.

Phrase Express does this with the use of macros. Macros can be used for simple tasks like pasting in blocks of text, opening windows applications, and opening websites in a browser.

Phrase Express has many features that let you customize the application to fit your usage and learning style. It has convenient pop up menus that you can use to quickly access predefined macros without the need to remember the auto-text you assigned.
