## What is Typewriter?

Typewriter helps you to instantly make a video with word typing effect. Just input your text, the app will automatically create a type-on text effect video including the sound effects of keyboard typing.
You can further edit the text animation by:
- Adjust the speed so it can type on faster or slower.
- Change text font, color, and size
- Change text alignment, spacing and line spacing
- Add text shadow
You can also change the video background color or loading background images from your Camera Roll.

The result can be exported as a video, GIF or transparent GIF

The exported video will look like as you actually tying in a word processing app.
This could take you a lot of time if you use other pro video editors and you also have to find or create the sound effects of keyboard typing by yourself.

I just paid for this and it won’t download my finished video/gif. What a waste of money that I don’t really have.
Very frustrated and sad.

*2024-12-14*

Typewriter app; 3 points 

Features help please? Sat 14 December 2024

Hello devs this is a good little app. I’m using it for a project but three things would make it even better;

🌷🌷

1, please change menu titles colour?  At bottom of screen. Can’t see red on black 

🌷🌷

2, please can we have a “save settings“ option?  Eg, Font/ type speed/ colour …  so if you want to carry on with same font etc you don’t have to change everything each time you begin a new one. 🌷🌷

I’ve made about 8, and it becomes repetitive for painful hands, whereas this feature would help and to save time.  🌷🌷

3, additional fonts eg Lucida Grande please?  

🌷🌷 Would be grateful for your help with these items. 🌷🌷

Regards
