Understand How Typing Hero Works
On this page
Typing Hero replaces a short Keyword with text you saved, in any text field.
For example, you type ,thx in a text field:
You type ,thx, and Typing Hero inserts
Thanks for your order. I'll get it ready for you.
The parts of a Text Snippet
The example uses three terms:
- A Keyword is the short text you type, such as
,thx. - A Template is the text that replaces the Keyword.
- A Text Snippet is a Keyword and its Templates, saved in Typing Hero.
The comma in ,thx keeps the Keyword apart from words you type every day, so Typing Hero doesn't replace thx
when you don't want it to.
Replacements
A Replacement is a Keyword replaced with its Template.
For terms such as Placeholder, Quick Access, and Premium, see the Glossary.
How Typing Hero detects Keywords
Typing Hero detects and replaces Keywords using its Android accessibility service. This happens on your phone.
