Usage

How to improve selected text with typo in three quick steps.

typo is designed to sit behind a global shortcut so you can refine text without leaving your editor or browser.

Basic flow

  1. Select any text you want to improve.
  2. Press Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + X to activate the application.
  3. Wait for the AI response and let it replace the selected content automatically.

How it works

  1. Capture: Gets the currently selected text.
  2. AI processing: Sends it to AI with a custom prompt (configurable in settings).
  3. Replacement: Copies the AI’s response to the clipboard, then pastes it at the current cursor position (using the clipboard helps avoid input method issues).

Models

  • Use DeepSeek or other configured cloud models where supported.
  • Use Ollama locally — ensure ollama serve is running and models are pulled.
