AutoTyper is a lightweight Python application that uses PyAutoGUI and Tkinter to automate typing of large blocks of text. Simply enter your text, hit “Write Now,” and AutoTyper will wait for a configurable delay before “typing” it at the cursor position—perfect for demonstrations, demos, or repetitive text entry.

🚀 About

• Cross‑Platform: Runs on Windows (10+) and macOS (Intel & Apple Silicon).
• Configurable Delays: Set both a start delay and a per‑character typing interval.
• Customizable Appearance: Choose font family, font size, text color, background color, and “always on top” behavior.
• Persistent Settings: All preferences are saved in ~/.text_writer_config.json.

2. Enter the text you’d like “typed.”
