My wife is a teacher, and she is reading harry potter to her students. It would be fantastic if she could find 3 pages of text from her next chapter, upload it to this tool, and get a URL that she can send to all of her students. Then they can all do a typing assignment in line with their reading, from just a link. (This could apply to many more courses, and cover many aspects of the curriculum!)

Would you be interested in adding that?

Hello! I'm kind of trying to keep copyrighted text off the servers -- though I am planning on adding a feature where you can add your own text and then immediately type it. Probably more work on the teacher and student's part, but maybe it would accomplish the same thing.

Being able to add my own text then immediately type it would be amazing. I would use this app every day if that feature existed. Thank you for making this!
