Practice speed typing on real blog articles and web content 👻 Ghost Typer - Practice Typing on Real Web Content During my journey to improve my speed typing skills, I realized I wanted to practice on real articles and blog posts, not just random words. That's why I created Ghost Typer – a Chrome extension that transforms any web article into an interactive typing practice session. ✨ HOW IT WORKS Ghost Typer automatically detects blog posts and articles on any website. When activated, it dims the article text and reveals it character-by-character as you type correctly – just like Monkeytype, but with real content you actually want to read! 🎯 KEY FEATURES • 📰 Auto-detect articles on blogs, Medium, Wikipedia, Dev.to, and more • ⌨️ Real-time typing practice with instant feedback • 📊 Live statistics: WPM, accuracy, mistakes, and progress tracking • 🎨 5 beautiful themes: Dark, Light, Ocean, Forest, and Monochrome • 🎮 Draggable stats overlay that stays out of your way • ⚙️ Customizable settings: dimming intensity, auto-detect, and more • ⌨️ Quick access with Alt+G keyboard shortcut • 💾 Session history to track your improvement over time 💡 WHY GHOST TYPER?
