* wd → would
* xprc → experience
* tfon → telephone
* lrng → learning
* 2mrw → tomorrow
* 428 → fortunate
* abv8n → abbreviation
No need to memorize anything. No need to pre-define abbreviations. Our Flexible Text Expansion engine deals with whatever you type and learns rapidly from your usage.
Flexpansion …

* … is compatible with phones, tablets, and hardware keyboards.
* … is easily personalized by adding your own abbreviations, words and even whole phrases (a limited number in the free version, unlimited in Flexpansion Pro). For instance set 'qq' (or anything you like) to insert your signature, phone number, or any other frequently-typed block of text.
