Quick answers
Common questions about Windows text typing.
What does Floater Typist do?
It types text you prepare into a text field in an open Windows app. You choose the destination window and typing pace.
Can I use it with any Windows app?
It works with apps that accept standard keyboard text input. Open the destination app, choose its window in Floater Typist, and click the intended text field before typing begins. Some apps may block simulated keyboard input.
How do I stop typing?
Press Stop, close the destination window, or move focus to another app. The typing pace and countdown help you get ready before text starts.
Does Floater Typist monitor or save my clipboard?
No. It does not monitor the clipboard. Text enters History only when you choose Add clipboard, and session text clears when the app closes.
Is Floater Typist free?
Yes. Version 1.0.2 is free to download. The current Windows files are unsigned, so Windows or a browser may show a reputation warning. Review the release notes and SHA-256 checksum on the download page.
