Ergonis Software released a universal conversion AppleScript for use with Typinator 5, further adding to its text expander capabilities.
The new Typinator 5 conversion script demonstrates the power and flexibility of Typinator’s new scripting capabilities. With this AppleScript installed, Typinator users can convert currencies based on current exchange rates as well as arbitrary units like mass, length, time, etc., and get the conversion results inserted instantly into the current text.
With no programming knowledge required and only one simple conversion snippet (>>>), Typinator users just type an amount and convert that from a source unit to a destination unit:
- “20 USD EUR >>>” yields “15.0840938″
- “120 km miles” >>> yields “74.5645431″
- “90 degrees radians” >>> yields “1.57079633″
- “37 Celsius Fahrenheit” >>> yields “98.6″
- “1 kg lbs” >>> yields “2.20462262″
- “95 kW HP” >>> yields “127.397099″
These are just a few examples. The conversion script comes with multiple examples that demonstrate how specialized conversions can be made with just a few keystrokes.
Typinator’s new scripting feature offers virtually unlimited opportunities, and this new conversion AppleScript shows off how Typinator 5 can make life easier. Typinator users are invited to download the free scripts and make use of them or use them as starting points for their own scripts. And if you have created a script that you want to share with other Typinator users, Ergonis will be happy to add it to their Download Extras page.
