One of the most striking things about the Game of Thrones anecdotes is that its creator, George RR Martin, wrote on an old computer with Ms-Dos and a mechanical keyboard that makes almost the same noise as a typewriter. It is also true that many countries they're going back to the typewriter not for its technological advances but for the simple pleasure of hearing the noise of the keys or the typography on the blank page again.
Now we can recreate this environment without having to get hold of an old typewriter or leave the comforts of our computer, all thanks to the OverType web.
Overtype simulates even the movements of the typewriter carriage
OverType is a web application which is a typewriter simulator, one of the best typewriter simulators out there. In Overtype we will not only have the font of the letter characteristic of typewriters but we will also have the same operation, with a blank sheet for the background, without any animation and the sound of the keys for each keystroke we make. Also, if we press the ESC button, the user will be able to write in red.
Even the ink of the letters runs out over time And if we write a lot, something that has caught my attention because the effect is very realistic and as good as the real thing in the typewriter.
Return to classical writing methods is something that attracts a lot of attention, to the point that modern typewriters have come out that cost more than a laptop, something illogical 25 years ago, but now it seems that it is something normal. I personally I stick with simulators like Overtype before with the new typewriters since its operation is just as real and when we do not like it we can return to the classic computer, while with the other typewriters we cannot. And you Which one do you prefer?
