What Is Fake Typing?
If you've ever done live coding during a talk, you know how hard it is to type perfectly while also explaining concepts, thinking ahead, and keeping your audience engaged. Even great presenters make silly typos, mismatched brackets, stray characters, and autocomplete mistakes when they're multitasking in front of a crowd.
These small errors break your rhythm, interrupt the explanation, and force you to stop, correct, and re-explain — exactly when you want the audience focused on the idea, not the typo.
Fake Typing in Presentation Assistants solves this. You still press keys naturally, but instead of displaying your raw keystrokes, our editor reveals your preloaded text one character at a time. This lets you maintain the natural feel of live typing while ensuring the text is always perfect, polished, and exactly what you prepared.
The result: smooth, confident “live typing” with zero typos, zero hesitation, and no loss of momentum. Your audience sees clean, intentional code. You stay focused on teaching.
const express = require('express'); one character at a time, perfectly timed with your explanation.
Why Presenters Love It
- Zero typos — the displayed text is preloaded and flawless.
- Natural presentation flow — you still type on your keyboard, so it feels real.
- More focus — your brain can stay on the explanation instead of fighting the keyboard.
- Professional polish — the audience sees clean, intentional typing with no mistakes.
- Conference-friendly — no awkward pauses, no backspaces, no debugging on stage.
When to Use Fake Typing
- Explaining new concepts — talk through the idea while your preloaded code appears.
- Demonstrating boilerplate — initialize projects or setups without typing everything live.
- Repeating long examples — SQL, regex, multi-line configs, verbose code blocks.
- Showing prepared answers — helpful during workshops, exams, or live coding sessions.
- Simulating “real” typing while removing the stress of real typing.
Instead of juggling your thought process and your keyboard at the same time, you can simply type naturally while the editor reveals the exact text you prepared. The result: clean, confident, and distraction-free live demonstrations.
Fully Customizable
With Presentation Assistants, you control every detail:
- Typing speed — slow, fast, dramatic, or natural.
- Pauses — to emphasize important moments.
- Sync with your audience — everyone sees the animation at the exact same time.
A Huge Upgrade for Live Teaching

You stay in command of the explanation — the platform handles the typing.
