Works in any text field
Docs, email, forms, chat boxes, code editors. If your keyboard works there, HumanType works there — it's sending real keystrokes, not pasting.
A small Mac app · one-time purchase
Paste is instant.
People aren't.
HumanType takes whatever you've copied and types it into any app at a human pace — uneven rhythm, the occasional typo, a backspace to fix it. Watch the box below. Nothing there was pasted.

Two minutes, start to finish.
Copy some text, click into any field, press the hotkey. That's the whole product.
Rhythm
It types in bursts, not metronome ticks.
Real typing speeds up through familiar words and stalls before hard ones. HumanType varies the gap between every keystroke, runs the occasional fast burst, and pauses a beat longer after a period than after a comma.

Imperfection
It makes mistakes. Then fixes them.
Fingers hit the neighbouring key. Letters land in the wrong order. A key repeats. HumanType does all three at a rate you set — and then backspaces and corrects, sometimes a word or two later, the way people actually notice.

Calibration
Tuned to your hands, not a preset.
Type a paragraph into the Calibrate tab and HumanType measures your actual speed, pause pattern and error rate — then fits its settings to match. The result is your typing, not a generic impression of typing.

Control
Stop mid-sentence. Pick up where it left off.
Global hotkeys work from any app, so you never have to go find the window. Stop lands within a few milliseconds — no runaway keystrokes — and start again to resume from the exact character you paused on.

Questions
The short version.
Why does it ask for two macOS permissions?
Accessibility lets HumanType send keystrokes — that's the whole job. Input Monitoring lets the start and stop hotkeys work while you're in another app. macOS grants these per-app and you can revoke them any time in System Settings. HumanType won't run without both, because it can't do anything useful without them.
Does it work in Google Docs?
Yes. HumanType sends ordinary keystrokes, so anywhere your keyboard types, it types.
How many Macs does one licence cover?
Two. Activation is tied to the machine, so you can set it up on a desktop and a laptop. If you replace a Mac, get in touch and the slot can be freed up.
Can I stop it mid-way?
Press the stop hotkey and it halts within a few milliseconds — no trailing characters. Press start again and it resumes from the exact character it stopped on, or you can choose to start over from the top.
