is a typing productivity tool that works concurrently with other Windows applications and lets you represent frequently used words, phrases, paragraphs, and keystrokes with a much shorter keyword.
Instead of typing in the word or phrase, you type the shorter keyword and Shorthand will insert the associated text directly into the target application. For example, you can represent the phrase "as soon as possible" with the keyword "asap". Shorthand works with most Windows word processors, text editors and even text fields in most Windows dialog boxes.
With Shorthand, you can also define shortcut keys (for example, Ctrl+Alt+C) to quickly play back predefined text, run keyboard macros or launch other applications. Shorthand is not limited to transferring static text; you can embed special fields ("tags") such as input fields, pick list fields, and date fields that allow you to dynamically create custom reports.
