Ask HN: Tools for Code Typing Simulation?
I'm looking for a tool that could mimic Code Typing but do it smoothly. I need it for recording tutorials but I don't want to record myself typing the code as that is not always smooth and is time consuming.
Something like TypeIt[0] but with Code Highlighting.
This is what I'm talking about: https://youtu.be/U4ogK0MIzqk?t=9

- thedevindevops 4y agoA lot of the tutorial guys have the finished code open in another screen and are just copy-typing, would that work for you?
- emadehsan 4y agoI'm trying to avoid that if I could automate that typing process and just do voice over to explain the code.
- verdverm 4y agoThere is https://github.com/hofstadter-io/self-driving-desktop https://github.com/hofstadter-io/self-driving-desktop that enables you to "drive" the mouse and keyboard across applications. I originally built this for automating recordings. It even has a recording feature itself, so you can go through the demo by hand and then cleanup the steps afterwards.
