Want to save time daily when you are typing on the computer? Use Free Auto Text Expander for Google Chrome™ which allows you to type in letter combinations like "LOL" and have "Laugh Out Loud" show up on the computer screen instead. Think of how many sentences/phrases which you type daily over and over again. Our software extension can help save time by saving the keystrokes needed when you have to type in the same phrase over and over.

Version 3.0.1
Please note to use this extension features, you HAVE to click on the extension icon to activate the "auto text expander" feature on the website you are on. This is to prevent our script from running automatically on all websites you visit.
This protects your privacy and ensures your browsing history/keyboard typing history etc is NOT sent to external third party websites. Other competitor text expander software scripts "run on all websites" and you have to trust them to ensure they are not sending this information back to their servers etc. For our extension, it is impossible for us to track your keystrokes because the software only works when you click on the extension icon.

useless piece of s...! doesnt work
it doesn't work
Does not work
It's great when it works; just doesn't work most of the time. It will be going along fine until it doesn't. Never know from day to day when I will have to reload the whole thing and start over. It's happened about three to four times in one month.
sometimes dont works
Don't let the low ratings fool you – this extension is a really good one! It actually WORKS on every website where it has access, or the ability to GET access! And that, unfortunately, leads into the main problem this particular extension has… … it needs to manually be enabled on every single website, every single visit… If you're going to be on a website for a while – say, a text-based game, or an HTML5 chatroom – this isn't a huge deal. Turn it on, and off-and-away you go! But, if you're using it to browse MULTIPLE sites, or have to refresh a page or close the browser for any reason… it can get very annoying to have to re-enable it. I'm also a little sad that there's no pop-up or allow the add-on to NOT auto-replace something you've typed in. I, for one, got this purely to convert triple-dots and double-dashes into ellipses (…) and en-dashes (–). Well, on rare occasion, I actually DON'T want those converted. To get around that, I'd need to type dots or dashes separated by spaces. It's a minor inconvenience when compared to the main thing I mentioned, though… but I've been spoiled by using a TABLET with auto-spelling and text replacement, for the last several months, so… yeah. In any case… I think this is very useful as it actually WORKS on websites and doesn't require a login of any sort, but it would be MORE useful if you didn't need to keep turning it back on… (It also refuses to run on this very website due to "not needing access," so that's something else.)
I just need an option to always keep the extension working, instead of enabling it for each site/tab individually. EDIT 2: I've switched to use: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/magical-%E2%80%93-auto-text-expan/iibninhmiggehlcdolcilmhacighjamp
Pros: It works well for simple text replacement. It doesn't seem to create any performance hit to install it. Cons: It has to be manually re-enabled for each site you want to use it on, every time you restart Chrome. 3/23/22 UPDATE: The latest update completely broke it. It seems to have corrupted my database (e.g., "@" was inserted at the beginning of all of my shortcuts).When it does fire now, it inserts the same text three times. 3/29/22 UPDATE: Uninstall/reinstall fixed it. I had to recreate all my shortcuts, though. 12/23/22 UPDATE: Works great now! It doesn't have to be enabled on every site anymore or each time Chrome launches.
You have to enable it manually on every web site you intend to use it on, and refreshing the page meant you had to manually re-enable it. I need it for work and this just makes it impossible to use. There are other auto text expanders that remain active on every website by default. Use one of those instead of this one.
How do we set up the extension so we do not have to activate it for every website?
