Use TextExpander to Create SurveyGizmo Surveys Fast

I build surveys using SurveyGizmo. It’s a great online survey tool, but building longer surveys through their interface is a bit tedious.

In order to speed up the process you can create surveys from specially formatted text files. To help things along even further, I’ve created a series of TextExpander snippets to allow me to quickly create survey questions.

What is TextExpander you say? It’s an Mac app that will allow you to replace text you type frequently with smaller shortcuts. So, say you type your address a lot, you can replace it with addr. Then every time you type addr it will expand and replace it with your address.

If you have a Mac, you should definitely get TextExpander, it’s an awesome tool that will save you a boatload of time. Then, you should download these  here.

Load them into TextExpander and you can use them to quickly create new survey questions.

When done, simply copy and paste  the survey into the Survey Gizmo importer tool and you are 70% of the way to completing the survey.

If you add any new snippets please leave them in the comments.
