About Dripwriter Origin
Dripwriter Origin types your text into any website — Google Docs, Canvas, the Packback editor, and virtually any text box — with natural, human-like cadence: variable speed, realistic typos, false starts, and periodic breaks — so your writing looks and feels like it was typed by hand. Created by Alexey Fedorov.

HOW IT WORKS
Paste your text into the Dripwriter Origin popup. Click where you want typing to begin — a Google Doc, a Canvas assignment, the Packback editor, or any standard textarea or contenteditable field. Press Start. The extension types character by character at a pace you control.
Every detail of the typing rhythm is configurable:
Typing Speed: Set your base speed from 20 to 150 words per minute, with adjustable variance so the pace naturally fluctuates — slower on complex words, faster on familiar ones.
Realistic Typos: At a rate you choose (0-25%), the extension makes keyboard-neighbor mistakes and immediately corrects them, exactly like a real typist catching their own errors.
False Starts: At a configurable rate (0-20%), the extension will begin typing a word, stop, delete it, and continue — the kind of micro-correction that happens naturally when writing.
Natural Breaks: Every 15 to 180 seconds (configurable), the extension pauses for a short rest — 3 to 25 seconds — mimicking the natural pauses a writer takes to think, re-read, or rest their hands.
Diagnostics Mode: Before a long typing session, run the built-in diagnostics to verify the extension can reach your document's active input area.
Enable API Mode: For developers and AI assistants, an optional JavaScript API (window._dripwriter) lets external scripts start, stop, and control typing programmatically. Disabled by default; toggle on in the popup when needed.

WHO IT'S FOR
Accessibility users: People with motor impairments, repetitive strain injury, essential tremor, or other conditions that make sustained typing painful or difficult can prepare their text using voice dictation, AI writing assistants, or other adaptive tools, then let Dripwriter Origin handle the actual keystroke input into Google Docs, Canvas, or any text box.
Students and researchers: Writers who draft content in one tool and need it entered into Google Docs, a Canvas assignment, or a discussion editor like Packback with natural timing.
Content creators: Writers who work across multiple platforms and tools, consolidating their writing into Google Docs and any other web editor.
Professionals with RSI: Anyone managing repetitive strain who needs to minimize keystrokes during a writing session.
Developers and AI automation builders: Build pipelines where an AI agent — Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or a custom script — drafts content and Dripwriter Origin types it into Google Docs, Canvas, or any text box via the window._dripwriter JavaScript API. Full programmatic control over speed, typo simulation, false starts, and breaks, so the output looks genuinely human-written.

AI INTEGRATION
When API Mode is enabled in the popup, the extension exposes a window._dripwriter object in the browser console. AI agents and automation scripts can use it to control typing without any human interaction.
Available methods:
_dripwriter.start() — begins a typing run using the current config; resolves when the full text has been typed
_dripwriter.stop() — cancels the active run immediately
_dripwriter.status() — returns the current run state and progress detail
_dripwriter.test() — runs the built-in diagnostic check
Set text and options before calling start():
_dripwriter.config.text = "Your content here";
_dripwriter.config.wpm = 80;

COMPATIBLE WITH
Google Docs, Canvas LMS, the Packback editor (including embedded cross-origin iframes), and virtually any standard textarea, input, or contenteditable field on any website. Google Docs has the most finely tuned typing engine; other sites use a verified generic insertion path.
