AutoType — Simulate human-like code typing in VS Code.
Perfect for tutorials, screen recordings, demos, and content creation.
AutoType types text character by character into your editor with beautifully realistic, human-like pauses. It intentionally makes split-second thinking delays, slowing down on newlines, making your screen recordings look 100% genuine.
