About text components
Animated text should support the headline, not compete with it. Keep the real words in the DOM so search engines and screen readers read them, run the effect once or on hover, and respect reduced-motion settings for longer sequences.
Install the Typewriter Text
- Create
components/ui/typewriter-text.tsxin your React + Tailwind project. - Paste the code. It only imports React; keyframes are defined inside the file.
- Import the named component where you need it. The default export is a ready-made demo you can delete.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Typewriter Text component free?
Yes. Anyone can open the live preview and copy the code.
What do I need to use it?
A React project with Tailwind CSS: Next.js, Vite, Lovable or Bolt. The file only imports React; its animations ship inside the component.
Is it accessible?
It uses native elements and ARIA attributes where needed, keeps keyboard focus visible and works without a mouse.
