Question 1

What is Dripwriter?

Accepted Answer

Dripwriter 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.

Question 2

Is Dripwriter free?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Dripwriter 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 https://github.com/alexey-max-fedorov/dripwriter-origin/issues.

Question 3

Which browsers does Dripwriter support?

Accepted Answer

Dripwriter 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.

Question 4

Can I use Dripwriter on a school or work network?

Accepted Answer

Dripwriter 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 your Google Doc, Dripwriter works.

Question 5

Does Dripwriter work with AI like Claude?

Accepted Answer

Yes. With API mode enabled, Dripwriter exposes a window._dripwriter API on Google Docs tabs so an AI agent such as Claude can drive the typing engine. See the setup guide at https://dripwriter.org/ai.

Question 6

Does Dripwriter work in Microsoft Word?

Accepted Answer

Not today. Dripwriter is built specifically for Google Docs, where its humanized typing engine is tuned to the Docs editor. Microsoft Word support is not currently available.
