First look: Very neat app.
The more text you type in, the slower it gets. But it's ok if you don't "translate" whole texts.
For phrases it is very usefull.
Good point, I mostly intended the application to process small snippets, like a username or website address if you need to spell it out to someone over the phone. While I made some effort to not do work unnecessarily
(only the last key entered is converted and appended to the output TextBox at the cursor location of the input
), since eVB has to copy the entire string each time it is modified it is probably not enough to keep things smooth with larger inputs. I'll soon add an option to only update the output shortly after you've stopped entering text, and then maybe later I'll look at making a string buffer to modify the contents directly.

One little thing, in your sourcecode, there is the .frx file missing of the frmmain
I double checked my source files but no .frx was generated for that form. If I'm not mistaken, at least for VB6, it is used to store control properties that cannot be represented as plain text and long strings. For eVB I think only the long strings apply, but because I'm storing those inside a resource file it may not have a need to generate a .frx.

Awesome, thanks for testing and adding it to the SCL.
I'll add a .zip archive with just the .vb and support files to the release page with the next version, I've also been reading up on making a device independent .cab file as discussed in Kilotecs Software Corner
(some very nice looking apps there, too
) so I'll be giving that a try soon as well.
