Typewriter Simulator

Type on a sheet of paper and hear every typebar strike, the spacebar thud, the margin bell and the carriage-return ding — all synthesized live. Wonderfully clacky.

How to use it

Click the paper and type. Each letter gives a sharp typebar clack, the spacebar a softer thud, and around 55 characters into a line the margin bell dings — your cue to press Return for the carriage-return zip and ding. Backspace clicks too. Adjust the volume to taste.

Private by design. What you type stays in your browser — nothing is uploaded.

Frequently asked questions

What is the margin bell?

A warning bell that rings near the right margin so you know to start a new line. Here it dings around 55 characters.

Can I keep what I type?

Yes — select and copy it. Nothing is uploaded; it stays in your browser.

Why is there no sound?

Browsers start audio only after you interact. Click the paper and type, and check your device isn't muted.
