About TypeReel — Realistic Typing Simulator & Auto Typer for Demo Videos

TypeReel types like a person: variable speed, natural rhythm, small typos it goes back and fixes. Into any text field, on any page you point it at. Built for demo videos, tutorials and screen recordings — your typing takes look human on the first try, every take. Need words? Chrome's built-in on-device AI (Gemini Nano) writes them. Done? Export the take as a GIF or WebM. Nothing ever leaves your browser. WHO IT'S FOR - Demo and screen-recording creators who want typing that looks real, not pasted - Tutorial makers and product marketers filming walkthroughs - QA engineers and form testers who fill the same forms all day - Writers who want AI drafts typed naturally into any editor REALISTIC TYPING SIMULATOR Paste or write your text, click a field, press Start. TypeReel simulates human typing with adjustable speed, random pauses, and optional mistakes that get corrected as it goes. Use one-field mode for quick takes, or advanced mode to script an entire multi-field form in one run. Page changed mid-setup? Rescan finds your fields again and keeps the text you already wrote. ON-DEVICE AI, BUILT INTO CHROME Generate new text, rewrite what you have, or auto-fill whole forms with realistic sample data — names, emails, addresses that look real but aren't. A small assistant icon appears on the text field you're working in (only on pages where you've invoked TypeReel) and types the result in place. Site-aware presets suggest the right kind of text for the site you're on. It all runs on Chrome's built-in AI (Gemini Nano), on your device: no API keys, no account, no cloud. On devices where Chrome's built-in AI isn't available yet, every typing feature still works — AI features simply wait until Chrome enables them. EXPORT TYPING AS GIF OR WEBM Turn any typing session into a clean, loopable clip: 3 themes, 3 sizes, ready for tutorials, product demos, docs and social posts. The typing animation is rendered for you — no screen recorder needed for the typing part. PRIVACY, PLAINLY - Everything runs locally in your browser. No servers, no account, no analytics, no data collection. - TypeReel only touches a page when you invoke it there — it does not run in the background on all sites. - The clipboard shortcut is optional and off by default. If you enable it, clipboard text is typed once and never stored. KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS Alt+Shift+T types your saved text into the focused field. Alt+Shift+P pauses or resumes. Alt+Shift+A shows or hides the AI assistant icons. Alt+Shift+C (opt-in) types your clipboard. Drive everything without opening the popup and spoiling your recording — customize keys at chrome://extensions/shortcuts. HOW TO GET STARTED 1. Pin TypeReel and open it on the page you're recording. 2. Paste your text — or let the AI write it — and click your target field. 3. Press Start, watch it type like a human, then export the take as GIF or WebM. Dark mode included. A What's New panel keeps you posted after updates. TypeReel is a typing simulator, human-style auto typer, AI writing assistant and sample-data form filler in one — an auto typing tool made for people who show their screens for a living: demo creators, tutorial makers, marketers and testers. If you've ever re-recorded a take because the typing looked robotic, this is for you.
