Testimonials

"Just wanted to take some time to say thank you for helping us out on this project at such short notice. We'd sunk quite some time into getting up to speed with a competing product, and had bought personal licenses as well as evaluation and then to find that it could not script all the parts we needed, and frankly how terrible their support was left us in a very bad spot - thank God we'd not stumped up the £3k for their .NET module which we were on the verge of doing. We quickly ran through 4 other web automation packages - none of which were up to the job for our task, or the learning curve was too steep to find out - then stumbled on your Macro Scheduler. If only we'd got to you first. Thanks again, I have no doubt we'll find use for Macro Scheduler on other projects - it's a very useful tool to have in the tool-box now."

Thank you for the great service for your great product. I tried for years since Automate to get a reliable and capable macro program. Finally, you offer it! Thank you.

Absolutely brilliant! This is the best customer support by far that I have experienced!:)

This is one of the best support experiences I've ever had. Thank you!

Our team spend a significant amount of time undertaking application testing and Macro Scheduler has enabled us to reduce the amount of test time significantly. I have been tasked with improving our test capabilities and we will be using Macro Scheduler to facilitate this. Since our purchase in December we have purchased a further two Standard licences and one Pro licence.

The customer service your company serves is amazing! On the forums or on the web or by phone.. everyone is so kind and helpful. Great support is hard to find and your products and support have enabled me to save our company (and I'm not joking) hundreds of thousands of dollars over the years!

Macro Scheduler works great for my needs, I have already purchased a license for my server! The large forum community helped me in creating macros that saved costs of automating reports instead of purchasing very expensive programs.

The program has been a huge success in the current project I am using it for. It's saved us numerous man hours and employee frustration in a very tedious assignment. It's been running for 15 hours in a loop as of right now as a matter of fact sorting some of the data we need. I have been very happy with its performance and look forward to implementing it in other tasks we have proposed in the future.

I work in a design department at the Voith Group of Companies. We design custom torque limiting safety couplings. Before I came across Macro Scheduler we spent many hours each day manually printing drawings for the production team to work with. Now, after only 8x8 hours of programming, we have a tool that will read txt-files with drawing numbers and print these in correct order, to the correct printer etc. This has cut us some 2 hours each day and completely removes the stress of (maybe) forgetting a drawing or two and always getting the files in correct order.

The next step was to remove the printing completely by automating an email with all the information needed per production order. The production team now open the drawings automatically and we save even more time (and trees). Quality is something that sometimes is forgotten about when lifting the benefits of Macro Scheduler but we have noticed a big change (for the better) after we deployed the scripts.

We find new fields to use Macro Scheduler scripts (compiled as exe files) all the time! Thanks for the great product, awesome support and versatile approach. Great work!

As a seasoned independent consultant specializing in streamlining business processes, automation comes into play nearly everyday of my professional life.

Macro Scheduler is the most robust Windows/Internet automation program that you are going to get for anywhere near the price they charge for Macro Scheduler. There are a couple of others that have more bells and whistles but your pocketbook will be paying a heavy price for them. Most of my customers are interested in saving money, that is why they brought me onto the scene - few are interested in spending thousands of dollars when this program will automate nearly anything with little or no human intervention for a fraction of the cost.

While I would like to see them integrate access to JScript there is support for VBScript. I guess that part of the charm of this program is that they have done a very fine job of keeping things simple, thus their decision to go with VBS rather than JS?

If you ever do get stuck, the context sensitive help system will bring you directly to the command in question's explanation. In the recent versions they have integrated a system that makes it nearly impossible to make syntax errors in your code because of its' Script Builder technology, that quickly walks you through each command as you go.

If you do run into problems beyond those just mentioned, MJT is beyond compare when it comes to customer support. They will help you fast via email, a bulletin board system or even do a remote log-in to your site should that become necessary!

So many companies now-a-days try to sweep deficiencies under the carpet using many techniques like erasing BBS messages, requesting users to 'take it off line with them' etc. - if someone discovers a deficiency in Macro Scheduler, it is discussed amongst as many users as would care to help troubleshoot, then fixed and publicly released!

If I could get customer support in a tenth of the companies I deal with that are as courteous and talented as they are at MJT, I would simply be in heaven!

Bottom line is that if I could only one have one macro tool in my briefcase, this would be the chosen one, hands down.

I love this product! I use it to develop personal productivity tools and to automate activities in business applications running locally on the PC or delivered via local servers, Citrix, and the internet. So far I have not come across an application I have not been able to automate. It would be difficult to measure the time this software has saved myself and others!"

I have had this software now for one week and it is the real deal. The GUI is intuitive and user friendly. Everything just seems to be where it should be. The documentation is extensive and quickly accessible from within the application. I'm smiling because I have already automated a couple of small tasks. Your script examples and tutorials really helped make the learning curve shorter. So glad I purchased this. Keep up the good work.

After using Macro Scheduler Pro for a little over a week, already I have found uses which I had never even thought possible prior to purchasing. I run a small 1 to 2 man business where most jobs are done by myself. I really need extra staff but can't afford them.

To me, Macro Scheduler is an extra employee. I employed him for a one-off fee of approx. £70. He is happy to work overtime and unsocial hours without pay. He didn't need a contract of employment and is happy to do any job I ask of him and at any time. I can even give him the day off when I need the computer, knowing that he's happy to come in after normal work hours to do his jobs. He saves me time and makes me time.

There are a lot of repetitive computer related jobs to be done regularly of which one in particular is to produce up to 700 PDF files of packaging inserts - all with different content - ready for printing. I estimate that a macro which I have just written and tested on a sample number of files will take approx. 7 hours to complete the whole 700 PDFs. Doing this manually - between other jobs - would take at least 3 weeks in normal working hours to complete.

"Imagine having a tireless employee that you don't have to pay, that does everything you say exactly the same way every time. I work at home on the internet and Macro Scheduler does most of the work for me!
Macro Scheduler:
1. Wakes me up.
2. Checks and sorts my email from all my accounts, (and answers some of it!).
3. Automatically places hundreds of classifieds for me on schedule.
4. Delivers products to my customers (programs and electronic books).
5. Maintains my computer and hard drive, backups, scandisk, etc.
6. Downloads my favorite web pages for me to read every morning.
7. Distributes press releases for me.
and much more!

In fact, Macro Scheduler does so much for me that I bought a second computer for it to use. That computer now works for me 24 hours, 7 days and I hardly ever touch it!"

"Macro Scheduler is without doubt the most useful utility I have ever found. I use it for an enormous variety of tasks ranging from repeating repetitive tasks to improving the operation of other applications to suit my purposes. These are a just few examples.

1. When Windows Starts I use Macro Scheduler to launch my startup applications so that they run in the order that I require with preset delays between them. This solved a problem I had with applications conflicting by being run all at once.

2. I use Macro Scheduler to automatically make daily and weekly backups of various files using other utilities to update zip files for example. The automatic daily backup of my system registry has saved me from disaster on many occasions.

3. I like to change the screen-saver regularly but couldn't find any utility that worked in the way I wanted, so now I use Macro Scheduler to change them automatically. It also changes settings in some of the screensavers by amending the registry or ini/dat files as appropriate to give even more variety.

4. When I connect to the Internet I like to have some other applications running in the system tray and Macro Scheduler runs them automatically as well as launching my connection software and dialling.

5. I got fed up with games being interrupted if I forgot to turn off the screen-saver and Windows task Scheduler so now all my games are launched by Macro Scheduler which turns these off automatically. It also checks the correct CD is loaded and for certain games the screen resolution is changed before running.

6. I have an application to encrypt files but it couldn't work from the context (right click) menu in explorer without further user input so I added a script to set the passkey and other details automatically. The script is encrypted itself to maintain security.

7. I wanted to disassemble some animated gif files into separate frames (some over 100) but there was no quick way in my application to so this. In 5 minutes I had written a quick script in Macro Scheduler to do it and saved hours of repetitive work.

Here's why your Macro Scheduler is the absolute best :

I have tried approximately 6 of your competitors, and your software has all the best features of all the others. Many of the others lack important features, but yours has ALL of them. I like the way it includes mouse movements - many of the others do not. I like the way it has a record facility - some of the others do not. I like the way I can write my own scripts *without* using the record - many others do not allow this. I like the way I can edit scripts - many others will only record keyboard actions and not allow you to edit them. I like the way I can use previously useless function keys, such as F12 etc. 6.2 makes even further use of these - many of the others don't let you use function keys.

I have very many repetitive tasks, and I have calculated how much time your software saves me :

1. Answering emails.
I have a macro which will grab the email address of the sender and reply with the appropriate message all at the touch of one button. Previously : 3 hours per day With Macro Scheduler : 30 - 60 minutes

2. Making astrological blueprints which are then cropped, cut and pasted into an email.
I have a macro which will do this for me. It makes the blueprint, catches the correct email address to send it to, writes the email, crops the blueprint, saves the blueprint with the correct name, then attaches it to an email and sends it. Previously : 4 hours per day With Macro Scheduler : 45 minutes

3. Filling orders received via my website.
Previously : 5 minutes each, total time 60 minutes per day With Macro Scheduler 6.2 : About 15 seconds each, less than 5 minutes daily.

4. Writing repetitive web pages.
This is the best one. I am writing a website for my brother which involves writing 160 pages which are almost identical, except for a few names and images. I write a Macro which writes the entire html document, changing a few variables each time which are read from a text file (also generated by MS 6.2) Previously : 5 - 6 hours Now : About 1 minute. Not kidding.

5. FTP'ing up to 20 websites.
Previously : About 30 minutes With Macro Scheduler 6.2 : about 5 mins

This is just the tip of the iceberg. I have 103 macro's.

AND...

Here's why Macro Scheduler is good for my health.. I am sure you haven't thought of this angle before :

I have been using computers since I was 10. I am now 34. This has taken its toll on my wrists and fingers. I am using Macro Scheduler 6.2 in conjunction with a USB keypad which has 20 extra keys. I can assign each key an action, such as "ctrl alt P". This allows me to use MS 6.2 without having to remember countless shortcuts, and reduces even further the amount of keystrokes I have to make. Instead of pressing "ctrl alt p" I just hit the button on the USB keypad. Also in my armory I have a Cirque Easy Cat. This is an alternative to a mouse, and is a little mouse pointer controller similar to what we see on the laptops (little grey flat pad you slide your finger across). These three things mean I achieve far more every day than I used to, and my fingers and wrists don't hurt anymore.

So. Now you know how great your product is.

Kind regards,
