Auto text match and replace.

Hi,

I need to create a simple application where a user types in an abbreviation of a word and this is automatically changed into the full word. The text can be entered in any application e.g. MS Word, MS Excel, Notepad, E-mail, Blog, etc.

A simple example:

Use enters.. tc<space>mw.
System recognizes a space, comma or any other punctuation and replaces the text to.. take care Matthew White.

tc -> take care
<space> triggers the previous action
mw -> Matthew White
fullstop triggers the previous action

Basically, the application matches the entered text to a dictionary (edited by user) and replaces the word with the meaning. Also the program can be running in the task bar allowing the user to disable the feature.

Thank you.. Ginies
