✦ v3.2.0 · Free & open source
Paste your text. It types itself into Google Docs, Canvas, Packback, or any text box — with real typos, natural pauses, and adjustable speed. Free and open source.
What it does
Built to read like a human, not a script.
Six knobs you actually want, none of the ones you don't. Set it once; the popup remembers.
Adjustable cadence
Dial typing speed from 20 to 150 WPM with a configurable variance band, so the rhythm never feels mechanical.
Neighbor-key typos
The agent slips on adjacent keys at a rate you set, then visibly backspaces and corrects them just like a tired writer would.
False starts
Occasionally types a wrong nearby word, pauses, and deletes it — the kind of micro-detour real drafting produces.
Natural breaks
Configurable short pauses at sentence boundaries keep long pastes from looking like one uninterrupted burst.
Diagnostics mode
Run a one-shot probe to confirm the extension can reach the text box you're in — the full editor matrix on Google Docs, a quick reachability check on Canvas, Packback, and any other field.

FAQ
Questions about Dripwriter Origin, answered.
Free, cross-browser, and built for Google Docs, Canvas, and any text box.
What is Dripwriter Origin?+
Dripwriter Origin is a free, open-source browser extension that types pasted text into Google Docs, Canvas, the Packback editor, and virtually any text box on any website — with adjustable speed, keyboard-neighbor typos that auto-correct, occasional false-start words, and configurable short breaks. The result reads like a person typing live, not a script pasting in one shot.
Is Dripwriter Origin free?+
Yes — Dripwriter Origin is free for all noncommercial use under the Dripwriter Origin License, and the source is open on GitHub. Commercial use requires a separate license; open an issue at github.com/alexey-max-fedorov/dripwriter-origin/issues.
Which browsers does Dripwriter Origin support?+
Dripwriter Origin works in Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Firefox. The build pipeline ships both Chrome MV3 and Firefox MV3 packages, and extension.dripwriter.org routes you to the right store for your browser.
Can I use Dripwriter Origin on a school or work network?+
Dripwriter Origin runs entirely inside your browser with no external servers to call and no telemetry, so there is nothing for a network filter to block once the extension is installed. If your browser can open the extension store and the page you're typing into — a Google Doc, a Canvas assignment, or any text box — Dripwriter Origin works.
Does Dripwriter Origin work with AI like Claude?+
Yes. With API mode enabled, Dripwriter Origin exposes a window._dripwriter API on any site you're typing into — Google Docs, Canvas, and beyond — so an AI agent such as Claude can drive the typing engine. See the setup guide at /ai.
Does Dripwriter Origin work in Microsoft Word?+
It works in any web-based text box, so Microsoft Word on the web (the contenteditable editor at office.com) works. Native desktop Word does not, because it isn't a web page and has no text field the extension can reach. Google Docs remains the most polished experience, but Canvas, Packback, and most standard textareas and contenteditable fields work too.
