It may be valid for many hobbyist’s freeware but I am pretty confident that you have not meant PhraseExpress in particular.

> no question that free is good, but, there is no support for QS, You will find that ActiveWords does not “do more” but rather may have a *different* focus. > I haven’t looked at Phrase Express but I think we do a lot more.īuzz, how can you be so sure if you actually “never looked”? 😉 P.S… as for the cosmetics of ActiveWords, stay tuned for our next versions, we hopefully dazzle you. That said, we love the give and take, and our goal is to exceed your expectations and continue to build great software. Blackberry, WinMobile and the iPhone.Īs for cost, no one has ever complained about the cost of ActiveWords, and in fact routinely people tell us that ActiveWords is a bargain and that we should charge more. And our product road map probably would have us focusing on mobile platforms first, e.g.
Phraseexpress versus activewords mac#
Too date the Mac market has been too small for us to focus on. We would love to build a Mac version of ActiveWords one day but would need to find a dynamite Mac development partner, so would love introductions. They are good and surely prettier than ActiveWords, and no question that free is good, but, there is no support for QS, and our users tell it has huge memory leaks. , and I have collected a lot of materials related to scripting here, e.g.Īs for the Mac products. Be sure to look at our various agents, e.g. I haven’t looked at Phrase Express but I think we do a lot more, and built on top of ActiveWords a lot off WordBases and a scripting language. If you want to try the Gist beta go here:, I have arranged for the GTD community to have access to Gist. All kinds of great people, comments, questions and ideas. I have been monitoring, but have been totally slammed by the GTDers who have listened to the Podcast and have downloaded ActiveWords. There’s a depth there that’s quite remarkable. I just think if you’re interested in using premium tools, you should give LB more than a cursory glance. Each product is only available for 1 platform, so they’re not competing directly. I can see that the goals of the two programs are very similar, but it’s the attention to small interaction details and overall polish that makes these two products seem so divergent. There’s also no need to manually delete triggers after they’re typed. With LB it’s AI matching is so good there’s no need to pre-program triggers – you’d swear it reads your mind >80% of the time, and it learns as you go, continuosly improving.
with AW you need to define each ‘word’ trigger. Is the market for WinOS productivity tools so insipid in general? I’m sure AW must have been ahead of its time in its market, but it’s not all that’s out there.Į.g. Yes, QuickSilver is nice, but LaunchBar is life-altering. It’s an order of magnitude more polished.
I looked at the video demos of ActiveWords, and you really need to take a close look at LaunchBar for the Mac. After hearing you all praise AW so highly, and looking at it, I’m left thinking WTF? There’s a disconnect between what I’m hearing and what I’m seeing.
