Import from TextExpander™

On this page

Each Abbreviation becomes a Keyword, and its Text becomes a Template.

Importing is free.

Use the CSV file exactly as TextExpander™ exported it. Don't add a header row, or it imports as a Text Snippet.

  1. Copy the CSV file to your phone.
  2. In Typing Hero, open the Settings tab.
  3. Tap Data.
  4. Tap Import from TextExpander™.
  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.

What converts

Date, time, cursor, clipboard, fill-in, and Snippet fields become Placeholders. Fill-ins become Form fields, and Snippet fields become Text Snippet References. Both require Premium.

Other fields, scripts, and formatting stay as text.

The import doesn't create Folders.

For the full list of conversions, see TextExpander™ fields.
