Hi all!
I’m using iPad Pro 13-inch (M5) with the latest software (26.5.2) as well as a Magic Keyboard for the iPad Pro, bought this year.
I work in the medical field and, to write medical records, especially discharges, I am often repeating similar things over and over again: what to watch out for, name/number of my hospital, and certain explanation statements for what certain diseases are. Therefore, back when using a personal laptop, I used downloadable software that would text expand— basically, I would type a phrase like ;tu and once done typing, it would auto-populate my preferred expansion. It’s the same concept as Apple’s built in Text Replacement system but for much longer statements. It also, since it was a downloadable software, worked for any and all apps/programs and synced across devices. This worked well when I was exclusively using ONE device to write records and it was my personal device.
I have recently switched to a new hospital in which I will rotate between several computers as well as my personal iPad (my work ‘computer’). I need a software that will work between iOS as well as several Windows work computers. My solution was the app TextExpander— it’s the only text expansion I’ve found that is cloud-based, can be added as a Chrome extension (therefore work on all my work computers), and has an iOS app. The problem I’ve run into: it works on the iPad keyboard, but NOT the Magic Keyboard, basically rendering it ineffective.
TLDR; does anyone know of any software or workaround for me to add a new text keyboard to the Magic Keyboard? Or a way for a text expansion software to work on my iPad that also syncs the library within a cloud so i can use with Chrome devices?
Thanks in advance :)
