Import from Texpand

On this page

Each Texpand Shortcut becomes a Keyword, and each Phrase becomes a Template.

Importing is free.

Use the Texpand 2.x ZIP backup if you have it. It keeps the order of Phrase Lists, and the Expand instantly setting of single Phrases. A CSV export keeps only Texpand Shortcuts and Phrases.

  1. Copy the Texpand file to your phone.
  2. In Typing Hero, open the Settings tab.
  3. Tap Data.
  4. Tap Import from Texpand.
  5. Choose how to handle existing Text Snippets.
  6. Tap Choose file.
  7. Select the file.

Typing Hero shows Import completed when it finishes. If it shows another message, see An Import, Export, Backup, or Restore Fails.

Turn off Texpand

Keep only one text expander on.

  1. In Texpand, open the menu.
  2. Tap Stop service.

Your Phrases stay in Texpand.

What converts

Date, time, cursor, and clipboard variables become Placeholders. Other variables stay as text.

A Phrase List becomes one Text Snippet with multiple Templates, which requires Premium to use.

The import doesn't create Folders.

For the full list of conversions, see Texpand variables.
