Breevy – So, email and repetitive text tasks got you down? “Breevy is your answer. Breevy is a text expander for Windows that helps you type faster and more accurately.” That comes from their website but doesn’t really explain how fantastic this is. Let’s say you are grading digital essays and you find yourself repeating the same lengthy text to students…with Breevy, you just enter a few letters (code) that you set up and it types the entire thing for you. Signatures, common responses to email questions, and even websites can be opened using this tool. An INCREDIBLE time saver built to make life easier for an educator. And, 16Software has graciously agreed to provide a 15% discount to educators.
Breevy has made an incredible difference for me personally. I use it at home and at work. I found that I’m more efficient which support others around me because of the program. I’ve recommended it and have never heard anything but rave reviews. I often hear how email is a problem for educators…just too much. Well, get Breevy and reduce your workload considerably.
I’ve discussed educator discounts with Patrick at Breevy (16 Software) and here is the way to get your educator discount:
- First, download the trial version and see if you love it as much as I do.
- Once you are sold (and I think you will be), write to sales@16software.com and request the educator discount. Tell them Carol from MyWeb4Ed sent you. (Note: I don’t get a thing for this but it’s always nice for folks who are willing to give an educator’s discount to know that it made a difference to an educator.)
- Patrick or someone from 16software.com will provide you with a coupon code to use.
- Plug in the code at purchase and get your 15% discount.
Enjoy Breevy!
