"If you're looking for a way to save time and make yourself far more
productive, check out EZ Macros. It automates just about any task for you
so that your computer does all the work --- not you." --Preston Gralla, ZDNet
Working and playing with computers can be exciting and lots of fun. Surfing the Web, communicating with email, playing online games, and much more, make computers increasingly popular. At the same time, however there are many things about working with computers that are repetitious. Launching programs, typing in passwords, signatures, addresses, visiting the same web site over and over...and lots more. Whether you use a computer a little or a lot, you spend a fair amount of time doing some things over and over again. Repetition is unavoidable, but you can get around it with EZ Macros from American Systems.
EZ Macros 5.0a is the ultimate keyboard macro utility and now it has even more features. The intuitive interface makes EZ Macros the perfect tool for both new and experienced users.
It can "record" keystrokes and/or mouse movements or macros can be created and edited manually. You can automate tasks with just a few keystrokes and hundreds of possible macro hot keys are available. EZ Macros features both global and program-specific macros. "Global" macros can be used with all your programs, while "program-specific" macros work only with particular programs. Tired of typing in the date on documents? Just create a macro that puts the date in for you. Find yourself always using the same 3 programs on a certain project? Create a macro that launches all of them with a simple keystroke! When you create or edit a macro, EZ Macros lets you insert pauses, delays, sounds, date, time, and more! With the FREE companion program, EZ Scheduler, macros can be scheduled to run at Windows startup, once, hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly. On the Internet you can launch your email program or go to your favorite web sites by hitting a simple keystroke.
With so many computers in use, in both home and business settings, many people are concerned about security. EZ Macros has that covered too! You can create "secure" macros. A secure macro is protected by a password issued by you, and once secured, no one can see the keystrokes that activate a secure macro. In addition, secure macros can only be edited, deleted, or scheduled by you.

Keyboard Express is a Windows keyboard macro utility. It allows you to issue just about any series of keystrokes to your windows applications with the touch of a key. These keystrokes can manually be entered in and assigned to over 700 hot keys. In addition, keystrokes can be captured “on the fly” as you are typing in one of your Windows applications. System date and times, symbols and more can be added for insertion into applications. Program activation, sound, repeats, delays, pauses and more can be included in your macros.
If you receive a number of e-mail messages, each requiring a similar response (price quotes, customer support, general inquiries, etc.), don’t re-type the same response over and over again. Type it once, assign a hot key and each time that response is required, just press the appropriate hot key. Your response is automatically placed into your e-mail reply. No more time consuming e-mail responses.
Use Keyboard Express to create e-mail taglines. Instead of retyping or copying/pasting after each e-mail response, press a hot key to insert the tagline.
If you enjoy entering Internet contests but find filling out the forms to be tedious, Keyboard Express will speed the process. Create hot keys for your favorite sweepstakes. Each time you return, press the hot key and the form is completed. No more typing out name, address, phone, e-mail, miscellaneous info, etc.

Updated: 06/15/2005 |
Quick Macros (QM) is a universal and extensible Windows automation program, designed to make your work more convenient and productive. With QM, you can create or record macros to automate repetitive tasks, e.g., insert text, launch programs, copy files, simulate clicks on menu items, buttons and links, automatically close annoying popup windows. You can program QM to perform complex tasks, e.g., process text, programmatically interact with applications. You can add custom toolbars to any window, use hot keys or mouse movements to switch to another window or show a custom menu.
A macro is a sequence of commands, such as "insert text" or "run file". It can be quickly created, and no programming experience is required. To enter macro commands, you can use dialogs, write directly, or record. QM offers many ways to launch macros: hot keys, text, mouse movements, window, scheduler and more. You can also use popup menus and toolbars. QM toolbars can be automatically attached to windows.
An integrated programming language allows extending Quick Macros: you can create functions, classes, applications, windows, new trigger types; use WinAPI, C and other dll functions, COM and type libraries.
