Share text quickly between your devices with any web browser
When you work online or browse the internet you deal with a lot of text such as a website address URL, meeting links, passwords, and so on. It is estimated that 80% of people online use more than one device to access the internet such as their mobile phones, desktops, laptops, tablets, and so on. Some people even use more than one type of the same device.
With the proliferation of the internet of things (IoT) in our lives, the number of devices that you use will also increase. This means that having a simple, fast, and efficient way to manage and share content between your devices will be very important.
ShareTXT and its collection of free tools helps to alleviate the build-up of stress on you resulting from the time wasted manipulating content instead of being productive. All the applications that you need to be successful has been carefully selected and designed to give you that boost in productivity.
ShareTXT is very easy to use and is the fastest way to share content between your devices. For example, let's say that you have a webpage opened on your mobile phone then all of a sudden you wanted to open the same page on your laptop because of the bigger screen or something else. The way to do this before shareTXT was the following
- You memorize the link or URL then mentally paste it in the search bar of your laptop then click enter to visit the page.
- You write down the link on a sheet of paper, open up your laptop then copy the link from the sheet of paper to your laptop's search bar.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with the methods described above, but the downside is that it is a slow process and prone to error. Imagine entering the wrong digit of your account number because of human error. It hurts.
Memorizing content and pasting it works for small texts. But when the text gets long and complicated it becomes difficult to effectively memorize a long piece of text, character by character.
Both processes break your flow from working online. If you are a writer or content creator, you understand how important it is to stay in flow without any distractions. Switching your attention to and from your computer breaks your focus and opens the door wide open for distractions to set in, which prevents you from quite getting your finger on that sentence that is perfectly suited for that paragraph.
There are a lot of apps that allow you to share text between your devices. The downside of most of them is that they require you to perform a download from the app store on all of the devices that you want to sync. This is a tedious process for such a simple task that you want to perform.
Also, they do not integrate seamlessly into your workflow because to use the application you need to minimize your browser before you can open the application, wait for it to open, then perform your task. This is a waste of time that you can allocate to other productive activities.
Some of them might be platform dependent meaning that you can only share content between devices made by the same manufacturer or ecosystem, such as android to android, iOS to iOS, and so on. What if you have both an iPhone and an android device? You are screwed. And that does not include the monthly subscription that other tools require. It's a pain.
With ShareTXT you can share text between any device independent of type, manufacturer, chipset, or anything else for FREE. All that you need is to visit this website on two or more devices or browser windows, then paste your text in the field to share. This means that if you have 4, 5, or more devices, you can share content between all of them at the same time for FREE in real-time. The text appears automatically in real-time as you type your text into the field.
How it works
ShareTXT is a FREE online tool that enables you to share text between two or more devices at the same time, in real-time independent of device properties. All you need is a browser and an internet connection. ShareTXT works with all browser types. This enables you to share text between devices from different manufacturers easily.
It works using inbuilt browser web socket functionality that connects devices when they visit the same link. Then when you type or paste your text into the input field, it gets encrypted and shared to all devices connected to the same link. It is very convenient because you don't need to memorize a code or anything.
When you visit ShareTXT, you will be automatically redirected to the default route. This is like a room where you can see the number of devices connected. These are devices that will receive your data if you enter it in the input. ShareTXT has support for an infinite number of rooms. This means that if you want to share your text privately, you can just visit any link such as https://sharetxt.live/{room}.
You can visit any route (room) other than the default by clicking on the text. When you click on it, a dialog appears where you can enter the name of the room that you want to visit. ShareTXT has support for an infinite number of rooms. This means that if you want to share your text privately, you can just visit any link such as https://sharetxt.live/{room}.
ShareTXT has support for an infinite number of rooms. This means that you can type in anything into dialog input as the name of the room, and get redirected to that room. You can then visit this room on all the devices that you want to share data between. You can see how many devices are connected in a room by looking at the "X clients connected in room". X is a number that tells you how many devices are currently connected in that room.
If you want privacy because anyone can visit any link right? You can Claim a link. Any link that is claimed can only be used by you. Anyone that tries to use that link will need to log in before they can be granted access.
Claiming a link gives you added functionality. In addition to greater privacy, above and beyond sharing text, you get the ability to save your text in history for your future reference. This is an incredibly powerful feature for you.
I can't count how many times I have lost a copy of a document. I had that feeling in my stomach. Then all of a sudden I remembered that I once shared that document with ShareTXT. I logged in to my account. Checked my share history and there it was. Starring at me in the face. A real-life saver. I can not recommend it enough. It has saved me on several occasions.

Content is King. Creating high-quality content is even better. If you manage a team of writers you can do more than track how many words they are producing. You can also make changes to the content by adding valuable anecdotes such as statistics, company information that the writers might be unaware of, and so on. You can do all this in real-time as the content is being produced.
Real-time remote peer programming
Peer programming is the situation where two programmers write the source code for a computer program at the same workstation. Each person looks at the code that the other member is writing.
The collaboration plus the fact that each member is validating the other ensures that more thought goes into the writing of each routine, which leads to stable and reliable code with fewer bugs.
ShareTXT provides a platform that enables programmers to work remotely from wherever they are in the world. The platform can accommodate multiple programmers working on a single document at the same time.
Enable multiple authors to work on the same content at the same time
You can have multiple authors working on the same content simultaneously. This requires a little planning and delegation of tasks.
For example, an author can be responsible for creating and optimizing the structure of the document such as the title and subheadings, a group of authors might write content for each subheading, another author will fact-check the content that is written and add statistics and anecdotes, another author can add references for pictures and illustrations where necessary, while another will check for grammatical errors in wording and ensure that the whole content plays well with each other and does not look like content that was stitched together.
This can enable you to create large pillar content faster.

Share text to multiple devices at the same time
There is no limit to the number of devices that you can share text between.
For example, you where watching a funny video online on your mobile. Your younger brother sneaks behind you and takes a sneak peak on your phone (probably to dig up some dirt about you to report to your parents and get you in trouble) and all of a sudden you hear a giggle.
He likes the video and wants you to share the link with him. After saying "please, please, please..." for a thousand times, your sister is curious and also wants the link to the video.
The link is long and complicated. Something like https://domain.tld/39484048/some-folder/3829-284-2aqrt/this-is-the-video.mp4. Obviously this link is too long to memorize and tell them by word of mouth. It's going to take forever and they might make mistakes so you need to start all over again. So what do you do?
Rather than copying the link out on a sheet of paper, they can visit https://sharetxt.live/your-name on their devices. You also visit the same link then paste the url. Everyone gets the link on their phone, copy it and visit it on their individual devices. They watch the video and laugh their lungs out. Is'nt this more convenient than the other approach of writing it out on a sheet of paper or memorizing it.
