This software would probably save me a couple of hours each day.

I currently take all of my online earnings from several sources and manually add them to a spreadsheet, post articles to five different blogs, socially bookmark all of them and monitor email accounts for messages every day. Phew! That sounds like hard work just talking about it. All that repetitive stuff is melting my brain. You’d give me a free copy if it stopped my brain from melting, wouldn’t you? Wouldn’t you?!? (Pretty please)

Wow, this can save me a lot of time between some of the tasks I do on a daily basis. Between doing work with Dreamweaver and Firefox and Filezilla as well as normal windows tasks this would automate a lot for me!

Most of the time I do a lot of work daily on my PC which is very repetitive, which is very time consuming and also reduces productivity. If I won this program then surely it will increase my productivity level and will help me focus to more important areas other than the daily chores that I do now.

Thanks for the giveaway and good luck everyone! :)

I thought I have used this type of program before somewhere…It would definitely be nice to be able to use this program at my work (doing daily operation and server checks), or doing my own work at home (blogging stuff and programing), and I can even think of playing some of my favourite facebook game (farmville!) with this automated clicks….. haha…. :)

nice piece of software….thanks for sharing

After a long tiring day I expect most of the repetitive tasks I need to do on my laptop be done in one click so that I can concentrate on better things and gain some time

Here’s something that is just crying out for automation…

1) get a daily e-mail containing about 30 codes for companies listed on the stock exchange (different codes every day)

2) check the current share price for each one of them

3) copy the prices into a speadsheet, and do some simple calcs on them

4) e-mail that spreadsheet to about 50 people, personalising each e-mail with their name and couple of other simple bits of info

In total, about a couple of hours work that could be done in a few minutes with an automation program. Truth is, the human interaction part of it would be a few seconds, I could go and do something else entirely whilst the program is running.

Computers without Automation CAN and DO soak up time and labour like an elctronic sponge. I have seen users sit and perform the same monotonous procedure over and over again, when it could have been done once only, with a suitable macro.

For instance opening a standard document, altering the client name, and printing the document. Then doing this again another thirty times for thirty different clients.

How many times do you need to rename a bunch of files, or automatically back them up when they have been modified, or enter the same standard block of text etc etc.., the list is almost limitless. and these are just trivial tasks Winautomation enables the construction of complex reliable macros.

With Winautomation its possible to claw back a lot of that precious time. Through automation of repetitive tasks, these tasks can be performed rapidly and just as important, standardisation can be imposed and user error eliminated when performing the same task many times (providing the macro has been designed and tested correctly).

Triggers and schedules enable tasks to be performed without the user even having to remember anything.

Winautomation, although costing more than some competing macro software, appears far more polished than its competitors and the process of creating macros themselves is automated to a greater degree by the drag and drop interface, pre defined actions and the visual Job designer . All in All an excellent piece of software. I hope the winners put it to good use.

At work, I need to create the same reports repetitively. So if this WinAutomation can ease my job, it will make me more productive & save time to do the analysis instead! What a time-saver it will be!

I’d love to get this software to automate a lot of the small tasks at work. I notice that even things which take a few minutes add up very quickly and this would be an absolute boost to my everyday productivity for sure!

I use “Actions” extensively in Photoshop and think that this would do the same for the many repetitive tasks I have with my basic workflow in Windows.

Macro programming is the future. Macro apps, of which WinAutomation 3.0 is the most sophisticated, can easily replace other more expensive Windows programming environments such as VB.NET, Delphi, and VBscript. Place this level of sophistication in the hands of a non-programmer, and get a polished professional application in half the time and at a quarter of the price, compared to the custom applications today’s enterprise relies on. Add to that, unlimited room for growth, and WinAutomation 3.0 becomes the only sound financial investment guaranteed to meet tomorrow’s challenges today, and keep your business on top.

I’ve been looking into WinAuto for a few days now (thus finding myself here). I’m getting ready to start hiring people full time to take care of highly repetitive tasks that I can’t even keep up with myself these days. It sounds like WinAuto might be able to cut down on the hours I would have to pay these people, as well as limit the chance for human error! (wouldn’t that be awesome!)

Some of the tasks to perform would be…

- automate blog posts when new products are released
- automate order processing on new orders
- automate backups of pc’s and servers alike
- automate some of the highly tedious bookkeeping and analytics reports I deal with daily

I’ve used iMacro for firefox plenty to automate many of my web related tasks, and even had some scripts coded in php just to get some things done through a browser that could have been easily automated with WinAuto. Would be great to get my hands on WinAuto to really streamline things!
