My Asutype quit working, something about my file path wasn't correct when it had been correct for months. I reinstalled it and still can't get either a plain Notepad or an Asutype container I've been using for years.

I've installed a trial version for this software and then tried to find the option related to Import/Export, but the only thing I could find is related to data packing/unpacking which I believe is the actual import/export function. I've used those functions and they work normally even after I've modified the database and tweaked a few shortcuts.


If you have issues with the program, then I recommend picking the latest version to install it.

Hi!


I'm learning to be a transcriber and need this program. I was wondering if it was usable with the Mac version of Microsoft Word I'm buying?

Answer by Robert Polubinski

No, the application is not compatible with the Mac OS X. I checked the downloads section on the official website and it appears that the software is compatible with the following operating system and its versions: Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7, and Windows Vista/XP 32 and 64-bit .


On a Mac, I recommend using Wine Bottler because it can emulate Windows apps without having the actual operating system installed.

Wine Bottler is available for downloading through the following link: http://winebottler.kronenberg.org

I've had Asutype for many years; it's a shortcut typing program where you can create shortcuts that expand into much longer phrases.


A couple of days ago it would work in Notepad and my email; now it will only work in Notepad. I have no idea why this started.


Can I have more than one shortcut and/or shortcut list? I was wondering if this might be the problem.


I've sent Asutype a ticket and was finally able to copy my problem to the clipboard for them, but I've had problems before too. Plus it's compatible with 8.1 though I had a tech support company work on my PC and they wiped out my RoboForm, and now I'm beginning to think they did something to my Asutype program too.


I really depend on it as I've already had two surgeries for carpal tunnel syndrome on both my hands, so I really do need it.

Answer by Stephen Prastman

My recommendation is try and download the latest version of the software from its official website. If tech support used registry cleaning applications, it's possible that the registry entries for Asutype were deleted/modified, etc. Downloading a new version will ensure that those entries are restored to normal. You can do this using the official website. This is the most plausible cause for this error and it should be fixed using my instructions.
