You should really look into iMacros. I've some pretty descents bots made with iMacros and WinAutomation 3. A combination of both can really help you achieve most of the tasks.

Is that "typitin" or "typeitin"?

The answer for this problem is very simple.
Ubot/WinAutomation/Imacros: Easy to learn but can't handle multi-thread, can't be customized further, etc.
VB/C#/Java: Harder to learn but can handle anything that you want.
If you want fast then go to Ubot, but in the end you will find its limitation that force you to learn VB no matter what, so why not learn VB from the first so you don't waste time.
Hope this helps.

Ubot and all designed software to create tools are just fine for non programmers. I see many of you guys suggesting complex programming languages as VB, C++ etc. But here is the thing about programming languages as VB: They require extensive knowledge of software design. I am an experienced programmer of both VB and C++, and I must tell you they are a real Pain in the neck when is about timing issues. Building a Xrummer based software using these programming languages is not impossible but difficult. It requires time, a lot of time and testing. Time that I prefer using to make more money. So stop hesitating and use Ubot. That is the best option.

I'm definitely not a programmer, so learning VB isn't an option right now (gotta look at return for effort at the moment $$$). Ubot sounds interesting, I'll have to investigate that.
I do have WinAutomation and I love it! The learning curve wasn't too much and I was off and running. It's pretty straight-forward, drag and drop, but it is for a Windows environment. Right now I'm running through some regular expressions tutorials so I can automate tasks related to text parsing. Not fun, but necessary.
Hope that helps a little. I agree with the suggestions saying that the solution depends on what you want to do, where you want do it and how much time you want to devote to learning. All those factors will lead you to the right solution(s) for your setup.

Let me give you a little piece of advice. With every tool you need to learn something. So you should ask yourself what is the best to place your time in? I would say a programing language because then you have the ability to make more outside the limitations of a bot engine. You would probably make what you need today faster with a botengine since its less to learn. But tomorrow you may need something that a botengine can't give you.

Inefficient??!!!
How can it be less efficient than C# if they are using the same framework...
Now, if you were comparing VB with real-men-do-it-on-binary-only... :flock:

Never tried ubot but WinAutomation is really efficient and easy to use, you can just drag n drop action and specify the details.
I downloaded it a few days back and without any tutorials/guide created a bot (JOB) that saves me hourrssss of work everyday.
Hope that helps
