Description
EchoType - Type Text Directly Into Any Site
Rewrite text inside Google Docs, forms, emails, and editors without copy paste.
ECHOTYPE WORKS AS A PAIR:
- the EchoType web app is where you write and send text (echo-type.com)
- the Chrome extension types it directly into the site you’re using
Perfect for students, writers, and anyone who lives in web editors.
What It Does
• Types text directly into focused input fields
• Works in Google Docs, forms, textareas, and rich editors
• Simulates natural human keystrokes
• Preserves formatting where paste is blocked or throttled
WHY IT’S USEFUL
• Preserves formatting where sites block paste or throttle clipboard use.
• Works across most websites and editors that accept keyboard input.
• Adjustable speed and behavior (from the EchoType app) to match your typing style.
KEY FEATURES
• Human like keystrokes with per-character timing.
• Supports input, textarea, and contenteditable editors.
• Large text “fast insert” option for long passages.
• One-click target selection with badge and text confirmation.
HOW TO USE
1. Install the extension.
2. Open the page where you want text typed and click the extension icon.
3. Select the target text field on the site.
4. In the EchoType app, send your text (and optional speed settings).
5. Watch it type.
PRIVACY & SECURITY
• No account data is collected by the extension.
• All retyping happens locally on your device.
• The content script listens only for messages from approved EchoType origins and does not transmit page contents.
NOTES
• Requires the EchoType web app to send text to the extension.
• Some pages with strict input handling may limit paste; EchoType falls back to simulated keystrokes.
SUPPORT
• Questions or issues? Contact EchoType support and include your browser version and a short repro (site, field type, and what you tried).
