Yadabyte Subtext is a text-substitution app that saves you time and keystrokes on frequently used words, phrases and text. For example, entering a text selection and pressing space/enter will instantly substitute your address into the current application.
For example:
- "DNA" to automatically expand to Deoxyribonucleic acid
- "Aaddress" (misspelled deliberately) can be set to turn into 1234 Your Address, City, State, etc.
- "Sig" changes into your email signature

@smaragdus: One thing is one thing and another thing is another thing. I was just noting that the file left behind is located in a temp folder, which does not affect the app's portability or its stealth status. I'm not judging the program's merits or demerits (never used it), and I too think that leaving a DLL behind is not a good practice, but let's not mix things up. A bad, or even a malicious program, can still be portable.

A DLL file is not an innocuous CONF, DAT or INI file. Besides poorly written and abandoned for me Yadabyte Subtext is close to malicious since spewing DLLs here and there is unacceptable.

I don't think this program is portable since on first run it creates YBHook.dll file (C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Temp\YBHook.dll).

I have yet to find a way to make it works under Windows 10.
Website http://www.yadabyte.com seems to no longer exist.

Worked well and dead-simple but oddly didn't seem to work on LibreOffice 3.5.5.3 maybe because of it's own autocomplete system

Nice tool which I use a lot in my office (XP) but somehow this tool seams not to work under Vista. I could not figure out why.
@lautrepay
I don't get you wrong. In fact I spotted the DLL I mentioned because my anti-virus shrieked (false positive, of course). I was harsh about the developer of Yadabyte Subtext but I really do think it would be better if this DLL was extracted in Yadabyte Subtext program folder (I see no logical reason why it should be extracted in Temp folder). In short, I agree it Yadabyte Subtext is portable but not stealth. Regards and happy new year!
