While the relatively high price of this program may be justified, and a 50 % rebate is significant, I'm not sure such a short-lived offer can attract many people apart from potential buyers having researched the program before.īut then, it can just make the product known, to users who will buy it full price.
Of course, it's not possible to evaluate such an ambitious piece of software during the short while of a Bits du Jour promotion.
On the other hand, you'll need some pseudo-programming skills if you really want to exploit it to the full.Īdolphe : Phrase Express does have a full version that you can try for free during 30 days. Phrase Express is unnecessarily powerful and complex if you just need to automate typing "Dear Madam" and the time of day. It's difficult to understand why it wasn't simply integrated into Phrase Express : it's a separate program which has to be installed by itself. However, it's a bit lacking as a standalone tool. Mouse Recorder can also be used independently (it's free). It has an external, optional appendage called Mouse Recorder doing just that, whose input can be then injected into "phrases". The "phrases" it can paste in any application can be tables, whole documents and even macros using external programs. Don't be fooled by the name : it goes way beyond avoiding you to type "Dear Madam" in full. That being said, its seems to be quite powerful. Don't expect the slick universe of San Francisco web apps. The other side of the coin is a certain degree of clunkiness : you can see the bolts and feel the crankshafts, so to speak.
There's a seriousness to it which is typical, a sort of thoroughness with features and explanations which is rather to my taste. Thank you for a great little tool!” - Darcy, Salty Brine SoftwareĪdolphe I have been toying with the free version of this program for a while.
