Actionaz is a program that allows you to record scripts that, when executed, emulate mouse clicks and keyboard actions.
These scripts can be handy when you have to perform the same series of actions repeatedly.
You need to go through all the steps yourself once, when recording the script. The program writes down every mouse movement or key pressing into a script that you can later edit manually in order to customize it, adding, or correcting variables, conditions, text inputs, loops, go-tos, or any other feature you need to include in it. You can save the script in Actionaz proprietary format (.ACZ), load it any time you need it, and tell the program to execute it. You can even export the script to a text file or to an HTML file, in order to view the list of actions that the script will perform.
In brief, Actionaz is a good free way to avoid performing repetitive tasks manually.
Pros
- It is free
- It relieves you from performing repetitive tasks
Cons
- None
Use it for over a year, to run repetitive administrative tasks. Completely GUI controlled, it's all about to get the steps right. Setting the Runtime only module as default application, just call a script and all clicking and typing is done automatically. I just leave blanks where needed, e.g. in e-mail replies. De-agonizes all my daily admin garbage, especially in all our click-and-wait environment. Works anywhere, currently also adding to a Raspberry PI.
Awesome softie man, very useful.
