Autocorrects are quite different from templates because they do not represent a shortcut to a longer template that you may or may not want to trigger, but they are automatic corrections that are executed every time a certain sequence of characters is typed.

 

When to use Autocorrects (instead of templates)

 

1.To automatically correct common spelling mistakes

PhraseExpander comes with a set of predefined autocorrects for many languages, so it automatically takes care of correcting your spelling mistakes and typos as you type.

 

2.To insert symbols or characters that are not present or easy to type on your keyboard

Another interesting use of PhraseExpander autocorrects is to create a series of entries to quickly insert characters that are not present on the keyboard, like the French accented letters or special characters used on non-English keyboards.

NOTE: autocorrects cannot contain formatting. If you need formatting, you should create a template instead.
