I have not followed the conversation very closely so I’m not sure whether PhraseExpress was discussed in a positive light, but apparently it will be available at Bits du Jour in the coming days at 50% off: http://www.bitsdujour.com/software/phraseexpress-professional-edition

Hi.
I am ambivalent about PhraseExpress. It is very powerful - almost too powerful for my needs.
I recommend to take a look at some of the documentation videos - I misunderstood a few things in the beginning and asked the developer who took the time to explain and to point me to the documentation and the relevant videos.
What I like is the clipboard enhancer, though :-)

I’ve been fairly happy using the free WordExpander, however in some situations it does seem to slow down to the point of not being usable. It seems to be some sort of a conflict with another software but I haven’t been able to work out which one. Windows Live Mail client is one suspect, Scrivener for Windows is another, AutHotkey yet another, or perhaps Chrome. After a system restart however things are back to normal. I only have 300 entries in WE, which seems fairly small to me, so that shouldn’t be an issue.
Do any of the other text expanders have similar issues? Are there any that seem to be particularly resilient and unaffected in performance regardless the size of the phrase database and the number of other software open?

This may be the nature of the beast. I use PhraseExpander and previously its predecessor Direct Access, and in both cases starting up The Brain or Quickbooks disabled the software, so I have to close and reopen it. This has been the case on two computers and three Windows platforms, so I have had to learn to live with it ...
