Motor impairment, RSI, fatigue conditions
Type four characters, say a full sentence.
Short triggers that expand into complete sentences, accommodation-request templates, and contact-detail fills. For anyone whose typing is limited by motor impairment, repetitive strain, or fatigue - every expansion replaces a sentence of physical effort.
The problem
What makes accessibility different.
For someone typing with limited mobility, a switch device, or through pain, every keystroke has a cost. Standard replies, disclosures, and form fills are the highest-repetition, highest-cost text there is. A text expander converts a 200-keystroke reply into a 5-keystroke trigger.

.tyvm
Thank you very much for your help - I appreciate it.
.at-note
A quick note: I use assistive technology to type, so my replies can take a little longer to write.
.no-calls
Phone calls are difficult for me. Could we handle this over email or chat instead?
.accom-req
Formal accommodation-request email scaffold - recipient, accommodation, and reason filled by prompt.
.appt-req
Appointment request with availability prompt and a written-confirmation ask.
.contact-card
Name, email, phone - filled once, expanded into any form or message.
What makes the difference: The Accessibility starter pack is free - unlimited macros on the free tier, no per-expansion cap. Everything expands locally: no account needed, no network round-trip on the typing path, and expansion works in any text field the browser can reach.
Honest limits: Makro is a browser extension, so it works inside web apps only - it does not expand in native desktop applications. If you need OS-wide expansion, pair it with an OS-level tool; Makro imports from 11 expander formats when you switch or combine.
