Reply to the same messages in seconds. Typing Hero is a text expander for Android. Create Text Snippets for your replies about prices, shipping, and quotes. Type a short Keyword, and Typing Hero replaces it with your reply. Use your usual keyboard in supported apps.
Typing Hero is for online sellers, customer-service staff, freelancers, and small-business owners who reply to customers in chat and email.
How it works A Text Snippet has a Keyword and one or more Templates. Each Template holds the text to insert. Type the Keyword, and Typing Hero replaces it with a Template.

Very well-built app, does exactly what I need. My only suggestions to the developer would be to add an option to have a floating notification that stays on screen or in drop-down notifications, then I can click it and select the shortcut I want to paste. This way I don't need to keep enabling accessibility when I want to use shortcuts (as I won't leave it enabled due to the nature of being able to see everything I type)

I found this app after realizing Gboard's keyword replacement feature wouldn't handle large blocks of text. It was recommended by the CoPilot app and after using it for only a few minutes, I'm just blown away. Other than dealing with the translucent icon that I can't seem to remove from the screen, I have no complaints. Edit: I can't believe how responsive the author is. Minutes after I posted my review, I got a response from the author, and I was instructed how to clear up the problem.

By far my favorite text expander app. Probably should change to the lifetime deal. I can create folders and. Snippets for the various events have. Can do text input to customize and much more. Great app!

1. Keeps stopping. 2. Snippet typing replaces instantly. It should ask first before replacing. After placing a space after snippet it works alright in Keep Notes. But it still replaces the snippet instantly instead of giving a prompt (pop-up) before replacing.

All the five text expander android apps on the Play Store are useless besides time and energy waste 1. In spite of enabling Accessibility Service and whitelisting for 'No Restrictions' to run in the background in Xiaomi phones done including all the advice of the developer. Swift Key and GBoard have shortcut driven autotyping without hitch but swell in storage space up to half a GB. There is no match for Windows apps like Type It, Phrase Express, Autotyping, Typing Assistant, Intellicomplete etc.

From the last two updates, the app fails to swap any and all text, no replacements are working, in ANY app. All the Battery and Background processes settings are correct, I tried switching Monitoring in your app off and back on, it's not working. Clearing cache or resetting the phone also doesn't work. Nubia Z70S Ultra with Android 16 here.

I used this app for years, but now that it's pay to use, the price is just unreasonable. Developer expects me to pay more for this app than I would have to pay for almost any other text-based software. Since I don't like throwing away money, I spent $9 (not $45 like Typing Hero) to get Expand, which has the same basic functions and isn't so absurdly priced. Developer may have made good text expansion, but he's outwardly greedy and nasty. Updated, because developer is such a jerk and he annoys me
