TextExpander 2.1 Adds Single Character Abbreviations,
Improved Performance for Fast Typists

San Francisco, CA -- April 22, 2008 -- SmileOnMyMac has released TextExpander 2.1, an update to its customizable typing shortcut tool for Mac OS X. With TextExpander, users can define abbreviations for frequently-used text strings and images, also known as snippets. When an abbreviation is typed, it expands automatically to the full snippet.

TextExpander now allows single character abbreviations. The update improves performance and reliability for fast typists and preserves format when creating snippets from a selection or the Clipboard. Several other improvements and minor bug fixes have been made as well.

A 30-day fully-functioning demo of TextExpander can be downloaded at
