Windows 10: Is there an app that can auto replace certain words with text?

One of the features that I liked in MacOS is that you can set hotkeys, like for example if you would type certain text (ie. ftw) it can replace it with text that you specify (ie. For the win)

I tried an app called Autohotkey but it's too complicated to setup.

Is there an alternative for that?

How to have auto-correct to replace the wrong word every time

Hello Sheena.

As I said in my original post, the Phone is suggesting and replacing, but the problem is it only replaces when it's 100% certain.

I want it to replace whenever a suggestion is available (without having to click on the suggestion). Isn't there an option for that?

Regards.

 

Would like to see more smarts in auto suggestion

I would like to see more smarts in auto suggestion when entering text.

For example if I enter a certain word many times over time, it comes up in the suggested list.

Use suggestion which are based on proper grammar, if I enter 'other th', all the suggestions make no sense grammatically. 'than' which would be a common word after 'other' is not in the suggested word list.

I am not sure if this is doable now with the current phones or more power phones are needed.

Hi Vila_do_Conde,

Thank you for posting on the forum.

If a suggested word is in bold, your phone will use it automatically to replace the typed word. If a suggested word isn't in bold, you can tap it to replace the one you have typed. And you can swipe over to see more suggested words. If the phone
is not completely certain on what word you wanted to use then it will offer the suggestions.

You can change the settings for automatic corrections and word suggestions by going to Settings > Keyboard > Tap the relevant language keyboard.
