Use Typing Hero in Other Apps

On this page

Typing Hero replaces Keywords in most text fields.

Where it doesn't work

  • Password fields: With the new accessibility service, Typing Hero is designed never to read or replace text in them.
  • Sensitive fields: fields an app marks as sensitive, such as for codes or card numbers. With the new accessibility service, Typing Hero is designed never to read or replace text in them either.

When Replacement may be unreliable

In some fields, Typing Hero can tell that a Replacement may lose formatting or put the Template in the wrong place. Unreliable replacement sets what it does then:

  • Offer Copy shows a Copy button, so you can paste the Template yourself. This is the default, and it keeps formatting.
  • Replace anyway replaces the Keyword. Formatting may be lost, and the Template may appear in the wrong place.
  1. Open the Settings tab.
  2. Tap Detection and replacement.
  3. Tap Unreliable replacement.
  4. Choose Offer Copy or Replace anyway.

For the Copy steps, see Copy a Prepared Template and Paste It Yourself.

If an app doesn't work at all, see Expansion Fails in One App or Changes Formatting.
