Auto-Keyboard 9.0

Auto-Keyboard Editor's Review

Did you ever have to type the same text over and over, inside the same application? Well, I did, so I decided to search for an application which automatically types text inside any window. AutoKeyboard can generate keystrokes, and repeat them as many times as you like.

The price of this software seems a bit too high, considering that this application only has a couple of advanced features. Even though the user interface looks pretty good, it isn't user friendly. Also, when I minimized the main window, it appeared on the left side of my desktop, above the Start button.

Another thing that I don't like about this software is the way it allows you to define new keys and text. You have a couple of buttons that you should use to generate keystrokes or to add dynamic text. The dynamic text that this program generates is in fact a sequence of numbers.

Pluses:

Drawbacks / flaws: When I entered a longer block of text, which should be repeatedly typed inside a window, the program only displayed the first line of text inside the keystroke preview window. There is no way to properly edit the full text, because there isn't enough room to view it.

In conclusion: This application could be very useful, provided the publisher improves the functionality of the user interface.
