Much like texting via a standard mobile device there can be instances when you require preset abbreviations or acronyms to be replaced with text. One common example is the ability to translate 'ttyl' into 'talk to you later'. This Lifehacker Code Texter is an excellent and user-friendly piece of software to keep in mind. It is able to work within standard operating systems and can be installed in only minutes.

How Does it Work?

The Lifehacker Code Texter enables you to enter in what are known as 'hot strings'. These are predetermined abbreviations (such as the one listed above). When such snippets are then typed into a common document the phrase that they are associated with will appear. This enables you to save a great deal of time when writing multiple emails or when a certain string of text needs to appear multiple instances throughout a document.

Other Streamlined Functions

Lifehacker Code Texter provides you with additional options to enjoy. For instance a new hot string can be quickly entered by using the Ctrl-Shift-H function. You can replace or modify existing text strings when required. The contents from a clipboard can also be entered with the simple click of a button.
