New v3 features

Based on the extremely easy-to-use concept we have added exciting new features to the new PhraseExpress version 3.

Autotext for any application

The new PhraseExpress Autotext feature expands abbreviations and corrects typos while you type:

Autotext

The major advantage compared to the similar MS Office AutoCorrect is the platform flexibility: No matter whether you are working with Microsoft Office, OpenOffice, WordPerfect, InternetExplorer, FireFox or even (soon) with Linux - PhraseExpress provides all your common text phrases for you in any application.

PhraseExpress' Autotext is also more powerful: It supports the rich macro functionality (date/time stamp, variables) and can trigger nested phrases, etc.

Robust XML file format

Major companies are using PhraseExpress on thousands of computers in a network. To meet the demand for a reliable file format, PhraseExpress v3 now uses the flexible and transparent XML file format.

You can export any phrase folders as independent XML files which can be re-imported into other phrase files.

The open file format allows you to develop your own custom filters and modification tools.

Backup files of your data are created automatically to avoid the risk of data loss.

PhraseExpress v2 files can be imported to the new file format.

New Macro functions

You can now call a phrase from another phrase (nested phrases). This enables you to use a common signature footer for multiple email templates, for example. If you need to change the footer you would not need to edit all phrases but only the single signature.

Variables allows you to insert a counter to any phrase, e.g. for auto-incrementing order numbers or support case reference numbers.

The time and date stamp can now be formatted as you like.

Please see the manual for more information about Macro functions.

Multi user support

PhraseExpress v3 now stores phrases and program settings separately for each user on a single computer. Alternatively, you can also define a common phrase for all users on a computer.

Significantly improved networking capabilities

The separate PhraseExpress Network Edition v3 introduces the new PhraseExpress Server:

Client Manager of the Network Edition (Click to magnify)

The PhraseExpress Server provides access to a central phrase file for all users in a network
The Client manager allows to configure read/write access rights indivdiually for each client installation
Client’s user interfaces can be centrally configured to eliminate the risk of operating errors

No more user mistakes

To avoid operating errors, menu items for modifying data or changing settings can be removed in the Network Edition to securely eliminate the slightest risk of data loss:

Lock menu

This user interface simplification also keeps training required to a minimum.
