We can now chart more quickly and efficiently. Not only have the macros helped to fill in quick templates, but we can now use it to query data from different formulas and questionnaires. When charting before we had to open a excel file, fill in all the data, transfer the data back into the chart then upload the whole excel file into the chart. With 6 doctors, trying to make sure we had the correct file was even more time consuming, and we had to worry about patient data stored on our hard drives. Now everything is calculated and entered directly into the chart for easy access and easier compliance. ----- ### "It's a time-saving program" — 5.0/5 > **Hernando** | *05 September 2019* | Medical Practice | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: I used to write clinical cases for a project with my professors. They liked it very much as it is easy to use once trained. It also saves a lot of time when writing patient records and patient history. Some teachers have adopted in their medical practice. The software has made notes readable, compact and easy to share among staff. > > **Cons**: I would like the price to be more affordable for students. because it proved to be a great tool for writing charts and sharing notes as it made them short and easier to read. > > It's a big idea and useful tool that I used for a specific period but would like to use it more. ----- ### "Best way to save time" — 5.0/5 > **Rob** | *15 September 2020* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: This software enables me to quickly fill in information in emails, documents, websites and anywhere where I need to write text. Not only text can be expanded based in certain combinations of character of shortcuts but also customized via forms. Before we copied and pasted text and adjusted it but this was time consuming and mistakes where made. Now the variable pieces of text can be adjusted with a form and this helps me to not forget about each think I need to addapt. Also correction of typing is very useful. Sharing is also very useful. I create form on one laptop and on my other laptopn everything is synced\> I can imagine that this is also useful in a company with several employees. > > **Cons**: The basics of the forms are quite easy to implement but sometimes I need some additional time to figure out how to tackle a problem in the forms. Working with the variables can sometimes be complicated because this is not something I do daily. Sometimes that is why I procratinate sometimes making a certain form. However, support is great and fast. And when the form is finally ready it saves a tremendous amount of time. > > The software works very well and support is superb. I cannot imagine not using this anymore and during out classes about entrepreneurship I always mention to the students to consider this. ----- ### "Expensive can use only on few machines" — 3.0/5 > **sukhwinder** | *02 April 2021* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is easy to use , it works and make life easier feels like everything is on your fingertips. > > **Cons**: It used to be unlimited now limited to 5 or 6 machines. I think it should be allowed at least on 10 machines. During this pandemic we have home. office actual office and lap tops for comfort you easily run out of number of computers you can install it on. why went from unlimited to very limited.?? > > Except being expensive and restrictive policy in terms of number of machines it can be installed I think it is very good. ----- ### "Awesome support\!" — 5.0/5 > **Brad** | *19 April 2019* | Pharmaceuticals | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: This software has been easy to use since day one. Very intuitive. Also, it has so much more functionality than simply a "phrase expander" that I've become addicted to it. My favorite extra part is starting applications with keyboard shortcuts. It's just great software. But I recently learned about the best part of PhraseExpander. I had an issue with a software update, so I emailed the developer and, within a minute or so, I had a response right back. He was so on top of the issue that I couldn't keep up\! I've never experienced that kind of tech support anywhere. BTW, he figured out the issue and sent me an updated version so quick that I never felt for a minute that I was running without the software. I hate writing software reviews because I usually find them fake and insincere, so I guess it says something that I'm actually writing about PhraseExpander. You can trust that not only does the software work well, but if you have a problem, you won't be stranded trying to figure out how to fix it from some blog or website. > > **Cons**: Love it all, not a single issue with this software. > > Highly, highly recommended. Great software and, even more important, great product support\! ----- Page: 1 / 7\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/157546/phraseexpander?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/157546/phraseexpander) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | sv | | ----- ## Structured Data
