< EDIMBURGH, UK - February 10, 1999 - KeyText version
1.2 has been released by MJMSoft Design Limited (ASP member). A keyboard macro and
Windows automation program, KeyText lets you save time and increase productivity
when working with Microsoft Windows 95, 98 or NT 4.0. You can download KeyText v1.21
as a zip file (ktext121.zip - 429kb) or as a self-extracting exe (ktext121.exe -
428kb) clicking the logo above. To see screenshots click here>@@@ KeyText's basic function is the storing of pieces
of text, ready to be typed or pasted into whatever application you are working on.
Autotext in your system tray! You can set up hotkeys to all your favorite text items
- one keypress and the text is in. Your Word Processor probably has a function like
this already, but what about your database program, your desktop publisher, your
e-mail program? The beauty of KeyText is that it's always there waiting in your
tray, and works for most applications.
Added to this keyboard macro ability are a number of features which transform it
into a multi-purpose utility.
Include in "text" commands or fields to fill in the date, run programs,
click buttons, change windows, select menu items, play a sound, display a message,
and more. Easy wizard-based dialogs help you set it up. You can even specify an
Internet address, and KeyText will take you there (assuming you have modem etc.);
hotkey it and you can launch your browser and go to the site on one keypress.
Schedule items to start at specified times. Because the text can include commands
(fields), you can run programs at specified times, display reminders or alarms with
your choice of sound, even have an hourly chime.
Windows automation. Tell KeyText to look out for a certain window or dialog, and
then run an item. Completely automate password entries, repetitive dialogs, etc.
KeyText itself includes 5 password levels to protect any passwords, credit card
numbers, etc., you might store.
KeyText can operate as a multiple clipboard, and makes collecting text easy. You
can set up KeyText to monitor your clipboard, and whenever text is copied to it,
automatically add the same text to a specified text item. This makes it easy to
gather text from various sources to put into one destination. You don't even need
to open a text file to get at its text; select it in Windows Explorer and a couple
of mouse clicks puts a copy of it in KeyText ready for reuse.
KeyText can either paste or type your text. Pasting is faster, but "typing",
character by character, has advantages. It can include commands, it doesn't require
the clipboard, and you can choose the speed. For the benefit of online-chat users
it includes "simulate manual typing" settings; add some pauses, mistakes
and backspaces and the person at the other end will never know it's being typed
automatically!
KeyText has a random link function. Set up your e-mail signature in KeyText, along
with a random link to a range of quotations held in other items. Hotkey the signature
if you like. Then, every time you press the hotkey, your e-mail signature will be
typed in, followed by a quotation drawn at random.
It's very unobtrusive... It hides itself away in the tray, near your system clock.
A left-click on the icon reveals a menu showing all your text items ready to be
typed. A right-click shows all the options available.
KeyText is shareware - "try before you buy". It costs USD 25 (or GBP 14.50)
to register, but you may use the evaluation version free for a 30-day period.
