Overview

System brief.

kaType lets a user provide text, explicitly choose a target and then type character by character through Win32 SendInput. Its controls, history and settings remain on the device.

  • Explicit start and target-selection flow
  • Pause, resume, stop and cancel controls
  • Local settings and capped snippet history
  • No server, upload or target-field inspection

Interaction / 01

Automation that waits for intent

Typing begins only after the user presses Start and clicks a target location through the selection overlay. Escape cancels selection before any input is sent.

  • Adjustable character rate
  • Global and on-screen stop controls
  • Unicode keyboard events
Privacy / 02

A deliberately local boundary

The application does not read the target field, inspect another application or call a network service. Configuration and a maximum of twenty saved snippets are stored under the user's application data directory.
