How do I install Text Generate Typewriter?

Run npx shadcn@latest add @aceternity/text-generate-typewriter in your terminal. Before installing, add the Aceternity Pro registry to your components.json and set your API token as the ACETERNITY_PRO_TOKEN environment variable. The CLI automatically installs all required dependencies including Tailwind CSS plugins and Framer Motion.

Is Text Generate Typewriter responsive and accessible?

Yes. The component is fully responsive across mobile, tablet, and desktop breakpoints. It uses semantic HTML elements, proper heading hierarchy, and accessible color contrast ratios. Touch targets are appropriately sized for mobile interactions, and all interactive elements are keyboard-navigable.

Can I customize the colors, fonts, and layout?

Everything is built with Tailwind CSS utility classes and Framer Motion animations. You can change colors, spacing, typography, border radius, shadows, and animation timing directly in the JSX — no separate CSS files to manage. The component uses your project's Tailwind theme, so it automatically adapts to your design system.

What frameworks does this work with?

Text Generate Typewriter is built for React and Next.js (App Router and Pages Router). It requires Tailwind CSS v4 and Framer Motion. It works with any React-based framework including Remix, Gatsby, and Vite — just ensure Tailwind CSS and Framer Motion are configured in your project.

Installation

Add sound file

Download the sound file and place it in your public/sounds/ folder:

sound.ogg - Audio sprite file containing all key sounds

Each character types with a realistic key-down sound, followed by a key-up sound when the character appears. The component uses an audio sprite containing mechanical keyboard samples for every letter.

When a word completes, the component pauses, then plays a backspace key-down sound and rapidly deletes characters. The backspace key-up sound plays once all characters are removed, simulating a press-and-hold deletion.

The final word stays on screen with a period typed at the end. The cursor then blinks at a comfortable 530ms interval.

Animation only triggers when the component enters the viewport (IntersectionObserver with 0.1 threshold) and runs exactly once.
