## Reviews

### "Makes Me Money and Saves My Sanity" — 4.0/5

> **Susan** | *March 13, 2022* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I use the most basic feature of Active Words. And I am ecstatic about paying the $32 per year for the one feature of dropping in text and then assigning that text a short trigger key code - like when I type mbs \>\> and hit F8, it automatically types into my document, or email or note = My Best, Sue. I also save entire press releases 500 words long and set a code like typing letters praward \>\> hit F8 and it triggers the drop of the entire release into the body of an email to an editor. Sure -- you can say "Just copy-paste the release." Yes, but its not nearly as fast a process. I trust that I save hours per month using my Active Words text blocks. Customer service is over the topic the \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] writes personal emails to answer questions about the software or install.
> 
> **Cons**: I think the toughest part about the system is that I need to remember my trigger text. It does have a tag search feature, but if I am in this to save time, I'd like to not have to search for my trigger text. I do the next best thing - I print out my codes and see the replacement text fast to grab the text trigger.
> 
> A colleague told me about Active Words when it first came out close to 15 years ago. At the time there was a feature in the program that actually told you how much time you saved using it based on your typing speed. I was always amazed - at the end of the month it might be 6 to 8 hours for me. I checked just now, and I don't see that the feature still offered, but it sold me. It's easy, cheap, and helps me save time and make more money.

### "The Swiss Army Knife for your desktop" — 5.0/5

> **Michael** | *September 2, 2021* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: First, let me say that it would be very difficult for me to properly do my job withut ActiveWords.  It puts so many tools, programs, documents, and text insertions right at my fingertips.
> 
> **Cons**: The one thing that I would like to improve is the ability to have quick access to all my shortcuts - with one button\!
> 
> Customer service has been great.  I had a small issue, which they solved immediately.

### "Don't Repeat Yourself, use ActiveWords" — 5.0/5

> **Anne** | *May 20, 2021* | Publishing | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: ActiveWords lets you assign keystrokes to commonly used routines or text. For example, if you regularly use the same paragraph to answer a support email, you can assign that passage to a set of keystrokes. You end up spending less time and maintain consistency. The same goes for using programs.
> 
> **Cons**: It justs works on Microsoft Windows machines. No Mac or Chromebooks.
> 
> This software can be a real help when doing any kind of email support where you hit the same questions. I suspect it would also work well with lawyers who do contracts or travel advisors that put together travel itineraries. Lots of options.
