ActiveWords is a handy utility that can trigger different actions based on the words you type in any Windows application. In a sense, ActiveWords turns words into actions.

Using ActiveWords is quite simple. The program runs in the background and its main options are easily accessible through the system tray icon or the top toolbar, which you can hide if you wish. To start adding words in ActiveWords, simply type “add” followed by a space and press F8. A simple step-by-step wizard will appear that will guide you through the process of adding a new word.

The words you add to ActiveWords can be associated with a variety of different actions, which the developers say cover almost everything you do on your computer every day. These actions include replacing text, opening a program, file, or folder, browsing the web, sending email, opening Windows Settings, and creating scripts.

ActiveWords is very convenient for those of us who do a lot of writing on the computer, whether it’s software reviews or quick posts on a personal blog. Just make sure you can remember all these new keyboard shortcuts!

With ActiveWords, you can turn words into actions and use them to open folders, launch programs, or visit websites.
