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. - Typewriter Pro offers three subscription options: $1.99 Weekly $5.99 Monthly $17.99 Yearly Prices may vary by location.
