You might like to try my online typewriter simulator, OverType. http://uniqcode.com/typewriter <br /><br />You can print from it using your browser's standard print function. A Pro version is forthcoming which features the ability to export what you've typed as plain text, and can be loaded locally without internet access, as many authors have contacted me wanting to use it as a distraction-free writing environment. <br /><br />I'm afraid it doesn't work with touchscreens (yet), you'll need to be on a computer with a keyboard.

Sounds are included (or you can use your own wav files).<br /><br />And you have complete control over which of your keys make which sounds.<br /><br />With this cheap piece of software, laptop writing sounds the way writing should. :)FWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09380593915091202839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8655653784122131754.post-32693023418633212732015-07-15T05:49:35.312-04:002015-07-15T05:49:35.312-04:00We (kids and I) tried Hanx and MiTypewriter on the...We (kids and I) tried Hanx and MiTypewriter on the iPad, and loved Hanx and got rid of MiTypewriter. There are going to be flaws with any app that tries to be a typewriter simulator, but we just preferred the flaws of Hanx. Messing around with exporting the PDF, we discovered that you can uncover the x-out text, which is quite fun - or annoying. We also like the fact that Hanx allows you to attach a virtual polaroid onto the cover of your document, making inadvertent reading of other people's WIP less likely, and customising your front page to look as scary or stupid as possible to other members of the family is addictive... almost as good as a real typewriter.
