Getting started

Write your first paper

Follow the four setup screens, then let TyporaAI type into your document. This guide walks through each choice in the desktop app.

Open TyporaAI and your destination document before you begin. Need the app? Download TyporaAI. Screenshots show the Mac app in dark mode.

Step 1 of 4

Give TyporaAI your topic and instructions

In What is it about?, enter your topic. Use Instructions for the paper to explain what to cover, the argument to make, and any requirements to follow.

For example

Topic: How remote work affects new engineers. Instructions: compare remote and office onboarding, explain the tradeoffs for mentoring, and end with practical suggestions for managers.

Complete both fields, then choose Next: sources.

Step 2 of 4

Choose whether to use sources

  • No sources drafts from the AI's existing knowledge.
  • Add sources requests web search and page links when your selected provider and model support it.

If you use sources, check that the linked pages support the claims in your finished paper. Continue with Next: writing style.

Step 3 of 4

Set the length and writing style

Enter your target word count, choose a reading level that fits the assignment, and pick a writing style. The screenshot shows 600 words, Automatic reading level, and Natural style.

  • Make it sound human enables a rewrite when needed. It may send the prose to your selected provider for up to two extra calls, adding time and usage.
  • Use my text as the finished paper is for a completed paper already pasted into the instructions box. TyporaAI skips draft generation and turns sources off. The humanizer can still rewrite it if enabled.
  • Write like me lets you provide a sample of your own writing to guide the voice.

Choose Next: typing when the writing setup is ready.

Step 4 of 4

Customize TyporaAI’s typing

Pick a Typing speed preset to fill in the rhythm settings. The estimated duration helps you plan the run. Select Type at full speed to skip pauses, typos, and changes to capital letters.

Under Capital letters, choose Keep all to preserve capitalization, or Skip some for a more casual style. Papers using sources keep their capital letters.

A speed preset fills in the rhythm settings. You can adjust them below.

Adjust pauses, breaks, and mistakes

You can keep the preset or change individual settings. A count of 0 means none.

  • Short pauses: choose how many brief stops to add and their minimum and maximum length in seconds.
  • Longer breaks: set the number and length in minutes. For example, 0.5 minutes is 30 seconds.
  • Typing mistakes: set how many typos are corrected, how large they can be, and how long to wait before fixing them. Typos you choose to leave remain in the paper; papers using sources leave no added typos.

Short pauses use seconds; longer breaks use minutes. A count of zero turns that behavior off.

Fine-tune the rhythm, then review

Erase and rewrite adds moments where the app types extra text, erases it, and continues. Set how often this happens and the most letters erased at once. The optional Match your typing section lets you type a sample to match your speed.

Choose Review and continue to reach the final screen.
