This software is unreal. It's like having a ChatGPT writing assistant on every single app I use and having all the prompts I can create at my fingertips.

While our help desk does provide saved answers, I use typedesk to maintain a personal voice in my canned responses quickly and efficiently.

Melanie Shears left a review on

Typedesk it’s truly a timesaver when it comes to writing. Whatever task you’re on, you know you have Typedesk’s backup. I wouldn’t know what I would do without it now!

Sean Eruppakkattu left a review on ProductHunt

I have been using Text Expander for more than 6 years, but I have decided to move to typdesk because it has a better pricing for my company with more or less the same features, and they even keep adding more functionalities.

Antonio Cárdenas left a review on AlternativeTo

I use typedesk more often that Google. This is pretty much all there is to say: I can not imagine using a computer efficiently without typedesk. Actually, the only thing missing right now is the mobile app. Because I'm sooo used...

Frank Sellingsloh left a review on ProductHunt

We are a niche service industry and we get a bunch of leads and let me just say that takes up a lot of time when we could be using canned responses like a pro with typedesk. The idea is to free up time in responding so we all could use help...

I had been looking for something exactly like this for a while because others I've tried have disappointed me. I was beginning to think I would never find it.

Typedesk is a great tool for those who want to save time.

Avinash.Katta left a review on appsumo

I love automation, saving time and keystrokes, and minimizing typos - so I already had text expansion set up on my computer, but it didn't work in every app.

JimHohl left a review on appsumo

Overall, good tool that does what it says. Useful if you have a lot of texts that you often reuse. Not just for emails but actually for any text or words, or emojis. Tool is simple but functional, you can group your texts into folders etc....
