textBEAST

Here's what some of our users have said about textBEAST:

"Decided to buy it after only 10 min of evaluation. I did exhaustive testing of many other apps for over a month to find something to help ease my work load doing medical transcription for a multi-physician practice. Though some of the other auto text apps were good, most of them required me to mouse over the task tray & then browse a tree like structure to find my phrase, which took extra steps & just wasn't convenient. TextBeast, however, can remain visible OR minimize into a small pane you can position anywhere on the desktop. I use this program on a 15.4? notebook & even on an average sized screen, the maximized window fits in the white space of a Word doc (using print view in Word). This means I can see all phrases w/o giving up any screen space & w/o obstructing other apps.

Each library (# available depends on version) has 9 pgs you switch to by clicking the corresponding page button & each of those pgs has 20 text boxes (10 "full text" & 10 "label", but in actuality all 20 of them are useable as full phrase boxes). This means I can quickly CLICK TO TYPE & get through my doc. As fast as I can click insert the text is in my Word doc. If I see a phrase I haven't yet added, I can highlight it & drag to an empty box so it copies the phrase into textBeast for future use.

I have used this app in both XP Pro & Vista Premium. I use this app mostly with MS Word (tested with Office XP & 2007) & speech recognition (to get the doctor phrases I can't predict & therefore can't program into textBeast) as well as Start/Stop, a transcription app. Additionally, I have multiple other apps open & this app experiences NO lag.

The support team is extremely responsive and fast, which is refreshing. They listen to customer response & implement suggestions into the app. I am a longtime user, having at this point gone through a few versions (it is updated regularly). I can't wait to see what feature gets added next.

The only "con" I have is to say that though you can change colors to "skin" the application, I wish it were more aesthetically pleasing in that it does not currently mirror the Vista glass experience. However, as this team is so responsive to customer suggestions, perhaps we will see that in a later release!"

"Awesome time saver. This thing is amazing...I call it my MemoBeast! Great way to store everything under one roof!! Beats opening and closing a bunch of apps just to save some stuff...works great...would have paid more!!! I wish it was available in other languages too...I have a Chinese friend that wants one but he doesn't speak English..any plans for a Chinese version?"

"Excellent Product and EASY to use! I LOVE this software because I can easily store all the necessary information safely on my computer and not have to type the text over and over again!"
