Text Blaze is a powerful Google Chrome web browser extension that everyone should learn more about and evaluate. Why? Because the extension offers its users features and capabilities that can improve productivity and professionalism. The following text snippets come from the product’s website…

“Save any “snippet” of text in Text Blaze as a template and give it a shortcut…Type the shortcut and the snippet text will be substituted for it wherever you are in Chrome.”

“Take advantage of Text Blaze’s forms, dynamic formulas, and integrations [Dynamic Templates] with other sites to simplify your day with Text Blaze. Reduce the number of tools you juggle and blaze through your work.”

“Speed up your work and maximize your productivity by using templates and snippets. “Auto text,” “text expander,” “snippets,” “macros,” “canned responses”—whatever you call it, the Text Blaze Chrome Extension is the best way to do it.”

“Create forms with blank fields to easily fill in a name or other data each time you use a snippet. Use dynamic formulas to calculate values like taxes on the fly. Simulate clicks or keypresses to automate parts of your workflow.”

“Gmail, Google Docs, Office 365, Salesforce, Blackboard, Epic, or any other site, wherever you are in Chrome, the Text Blaze Chrome Extension is there to help you. If you ever find a site where Text Blaze doesn’t work, let us know and we’ll get it fixed ASAP.”

MultCloud

These days, many (most?) computer users have multiple online file storage accounts. Google Drive, OneDrive, DropBox, Box, and iCloud are just a few examples of popular online file storage solutions. If you have a want or need to backup, store, and/or synchronize files between different online file services, I encourage you to check out the MultCloud service. Here is a snippet of text from the service’s website…

“MultCloud is a free [limited free] app that allows you to connect all your cloud drives and transfer or sync files from one cloud service directly to another. You can also manage online files from multiple clouds all under one virtual roof with upload, download, cut, copy, paste, move, delete. Rename, etc.”

The MultCloud service looks and sounds good to me!

Fortunately, with a little bit of research and touchpad gesture configuration, you can enhance both your computing experience and productivity. The following links lead to Google search results pages that provide links to numerous touchpad gesture configurations and use related resources.
