How it works

From repetitive documentation to instant templates

Save a clinical text once, give it a shortcut, and expand it anywhere you work.

Built for clinical workflows

Save your most-used clinical text once — patient instructions, referral templates, discharge summaries, follow-up protocols, all with your exact wording and formatting.

Create simple shortcuts like discharge\ or referral\ or hpi\ — whatever makes sense to your workflow.

Type anywhere, expand instantly in web-based EHR systems, patient portals, Gmail, and any browser-based tool.

Stay consistent across every location — same shortcuts available on both your devices, whether you're at your main practice or a secondary clinic.

Everything healthcare professionals need

Powerful where it counts, simple where it matters.

Reclaim Time for Your Patients

Physicians spend nearly 2 hours daily on documentation typing alone. Type discharge\ and your full template appears instantly—ready to review, personalize, and complete. Less time at the keyboard means more time face-to-face with patients.

Works Across Both Your Clinics

The extension gives you access on 2 devices per account. Whether you're at your main practice in the morning or a secondary clinic in the afternoon, your entire template library is always with you. No setup, no re-entering shortcuts.

Your Data Never Leaves Your Device

Web Text Expander stores everything locally in your browser. No clinical text is ever sent to external servers. No third-party data exposure. Full control over your content at all times.

Personalize Without Slowing Down

Use smart cursor positioning to personalize templates instantly. Type referral\, and your cursor automatically lands where you need to add patient name, diagnosis, or clinical details. Fill in and continue—no manual repositioning.

Organize by Specialty or Document Type

Tag templates by category: documentation, patient instructions, referrals, administrative. Find the right template in seconds with quick search (Ctrl+Space).

Rich Text Formatting

Save clinical templates with bullet points, numbered steps, bold headers, and proper structure. Your documents look professional and consistent every time.

Reviews

Healthcare professionals love it

"

Discharge summaries and referral letters used to eat up my afternoon. Now I type a shortcut and my template is there. More time for actual patient care.

"

I work at two clinics and my shortcuts sync to both. No more retyping the same templates. Data stays local—exactly what I need for clinical use.

"

Works in our web-based EHR and patient portal. Cursor positioning lets me drop in patient details without breaking flow. Simple and reliable.

"

Shared our template library with the practice. Everyone uses the same clinical language. Onboarding new physicians is much faster.
