Install it, set it up once, and start talking

Install on Windows

  1. Open the installer you downloaded from styletyper.com
  2. If Windows shows Windows protected your PC, click More info, then Run anyway. Windows shows this for apps it does not know yet.
  3. Follow the installer. It installs StyleTyper for you alone, so Windows will not ask for an administrator password.
  4. Choose whether to add StyleTyper to the Start menu and the desktop, then click Finish with Start StyleTyper ticked

Install on Mac

  1. Move StyleTyper to your Applications folder and open it
  2. If macOS says it cannot check the app, open System Settings › Privacy & Security, scroll down and click Open Anyway. You only do this once.
  3. To let StyleTyper type for you, turn it on in System Settings › Privacy & Security › Accessibility. Without it, your words wait on the clipboard and you press Cmd+V.

    • Fedora: GNOME Software opens. Click Install, then enter your password
    • KDE Plasma: Discover opens. Click Install
