About AutoText Pro
Auto-text expander/autocorrect with formatting & voice typing in any web text editor, email and Google Docs. Type Less, Write More. AutoText Pro is a powerful text expander, autocorrect tool, and voice dictation assistant that works inside virtually every web-based text editor - including Gmail, Google Docs, Outlook Web, Notion, WordPress, support platforms, EHR systems, and thousands more. Stop retyping the same phrases, paragraphs, and templates every single day. Save them once as a shortcut, then bring them back instantly by typing the keyword and pressing Space, Tab, or Enter - right where your cursor sits. ══════════════════════════════════════ WHY AUTOTEXT PRO? ══════════════════════════════════════ Most text expander tools are either too basic (plain text only) or too complicated (require cloud accounts, subscriptions, or syncing). AutoText Pro hits the sweet spot: rich-text formatting, zero cloud dependency, a clean floating sidebar, a quick-insert toolbar, and a built-in mic - all free, all local, and all private.
