Do you want to see your device type itself? Don't you just hate it when your device plops a whole bunch of text down at the same time? What if I told you, there's an app/keyboard that lets your device TYPE ITSELF, LETTER BY LETTER! I repeat. Letter. By. Letter. What's even better, is that you can vary the typing speed to your liking too! That app, my friend, is THIS APP. Just copy a portion of text, and instead of hitting that bland, uninteresting Paste button, switch to the "Auto Typist" keyboard, and see your device type on its own. ---- AUTO TYPIST ---- - When simple pasting's just not your style - For fans of the automaton Intended for entertainment purposes. Who wouldn't want to see their devices type themselves once in a while, right? * Not held responsible for any potential mischief. ** Privacy Disclaimer : This app DOES NOT store your pasteboard data anywhere. Rest assured that it is safe.
