Posted: Wed Nov 26, 2008 7:55 am
[Moderator note:
Hi Andrew,
our Autotext, Text AutoComplete, Clipboard Manager and Text prediction feature utility PhraseExpress Autotext - USB Edition is now fully USB ready and shall survive your rigid but justified requirements.
Here is a test run video with RegShot and Dependency Walker:

Dependency Walker has found one issue but this is related to the Explorer which is used by PhraseExpress in order to display HTML contents within PhraseExpress.
Any written registry entry as you can see in below log is solely done by the OS. No application has any chance to suppress this behaviour:

Description:
PhraseExpress eliminates repetitive typing and manages frequently used text snippets in customizable categories. Boilerplate templates can be stored together with bitmaps and text formatting.
The text prediction feature watches out for repetitive text patterns and offers to auto-complete such phrases. Smart algorithms analyze and learn your writing patterns, and suggest the most relevant ways to complete phrases and sentences.
The Autotext feature allows assigning a frequently used text such as your address, your signature or a common phrase to a much shorter abbreviation. Whenever you type in the assigned abbreviation PhraseExpress will automatically replace it with the original text. For example, "ty" will be expanded to "thank you very much. Existing MS Office AutoCorrect entries can be imported for use in any Windows program, not just MS Office.
The Clipboard Cache enhances the native Windows clipboard functionality by remembering all items that are copied to the clipboard for later use.
PhraseExpress can optionally remove any text formatting from the clipboard contents.
Powerful macro functions can add dynamic contents to static phrases such as the current date, counters or additional manual input. Phrases can be linked or nested. Macros can also launch programs or open documents triggered by shortcuts. Entering 'calc' may open the Windows calculator program or pressing the hotkey CTRL-F8 can offer a Google search query of a highlighted text on-the-fly.
This keyboard macro utility is free-of-charge for personal users (details) - Commercial editions provide the PhraseExpress functionality in a company network with a client-/server architecture. A separate USB installer allows to run PhraseExpress from USB memory devices.
