Of course, I have to mention iExpressions again ;-)

The evolution iExpression does not create exactly this effect, but 
something similar and is fully automatic:
http://mamoworld.com/after-effects-expression/evolution

If you apply it to a text with two keyframes, one being a longer text 
and one a shorter text only containing some words (or letters) of the 
first one, it will create a transition from the first text to the second 
by step by step deleting the letters not used in the second text.
It can also insert stuff if necessaray. In general it creates 
transitions from one text to the next by inserting or deleting as little 
letters as possible (a.k.a minimum edit distance or Levenshtein 
distance). It also offers advanced control to fine-tune the transition.

It even comes with a tutorial:

Cheers,
Mathias
