What is Dripwriter Origin?

Dripwriter Origin is a free, open-source browser extension that types pasted text into Google Docs 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.

Dripwriter Origin works in Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Firefox. The build pipeline produces both Chrome MV3 and Firefox MV3 packages.

How do I install Dripwriter Origin?

Is Dripwriter Origin free?
