Ergonis Software today announced the release of Typinator 1.6.1, the latest version of its tool for auto-correcting typos, expanding text and inserting graphics across any Mac OS X application. The new version fixes a compatibility issue between Typinator and CopyPaste, where Typinator’s new “Whole Word” option did not work correctly with CopyPaste installed.
Typinator is designed to speed repetitive typing tasks and eliminate manually introduced errors. To set up an often-used text or image in Typinator, you simply define an abbreviation along with its replacement text or image. When you enter the abbreviation in any application, Typinator automatically expands it.
The upgrade to Typinator 1.6.1 is free for anyone who has purchased Typinator in the last 2 years. Typinator 1.6.1 requires Mac OS X 10.3.9 or newer and can be purchased securely on the Ergonis Software website for USD$19.99.
