Why FluentTyper

FluentTyper helps you write faster and with fewer mistakes:

• Predictive autocomplete while typing
• Local prediction with libPresage (WebLLM path is currently dev/debug-only)
• Spelling suggestions
• Text expansion snippets for repeated phrases
• Keyboard-first suggestion selection with arrow keys and Tab

Example: type callMe and expand it to Call me back once you're free.

Supported Languages

• English
• Spanish
• French
• Croatian
• Greek
• Swedish
• Polish

• Brazilian Portuguese

Installation

• Chrome
• Firefox
• Edge

Quick Start

1. Install FluentTyper from your browser store.
2. Click any regular text input field on a website.
3. Start typing to see suggestions.
4. Use arrow keys to choose a suggestion.
5. Press Tab to accept, or Esc to dismiss.

Site Profiles and Precedence

FluentTyper applies configuration in this order:

1. Global enable switch (Enable Extension) must be on.
2. Domain allow/block mode decides if FluentTyper runs on the current site.
3. If a site profile exists for the current domain, it overrides config values:
   • language: always overridden by the profile value.
   • inline_suggestion: overridden only when set in the profile; otherwise inherited from global.
   • numSuggestions: overridden only when set in the profile; otherwise inherited from global.

Site profiles never bypass domain enable/disable logic. If a domain is blocked by allow/block mode, FluentTyper remains disabled there even if a profile exists.

Compatibility

FluentTyper works on most websites. Some rich text editors (for example Google Docs) can be partially or fully incompatible.

If you hit an unsupported site, please open a bug report so compatibility can be improved.

AI Predictor (WebLLM, Dev/Debug Only)

WebLLM is currently available only in development/debug builds.

• Production store builds (Chrome, Firefox, Edge) currently run libPresage-only.
• The AI predictor toggle is not exposed to end users in production builds.
• In dev/debug builds, WebLLM can run in parallel with Presage and falls back automatically when unavailable.
• In dev/debug builds, first AI use downloads model artifacts once; subsequent runs use browser cache.

Privacy

FluentTyper is privacy-first:

• No upload of your typed content
• Works offline
• Predictions are generated locally on your computer
• In dev/debug builds, when AI predictor is enabled, only model artifacts are downloaded; typed content stays local
