TextExpander 2.4 Features Significant Speed and Usability Improvements

San Francisco, CA -- August 12, 2008 -- SmileOnMyMac has released TextExpander 2.4, 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.

In TextExpander 2.4, the menu bar icon now responds instantly when clicked, regardless of the size of the user's snippet library. The menu bar is now navigable via the keyboard as well. Other enhancements and fixes were also added to this version.

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