Common questions
Yes. Typeahead works in text fields in Chrome on your Mac, with no extension to install. As you write an email, a comment or a form, it suggests the rest of your sentence in grey at your cursor. Press Tab to take it, or keep typing and it steps aside.
No. Typeahead is a Mac app that works through the macOS Accessibility API, so there is nothing to add to Chrome.
Yes, after a one-time setup: in Google Docs, turn on screen reader support in Tools, then Accessibility. After that, suggestions appear as you write in the document.
No. Password fields are always off, and Typeahead stays off in password managers out of the box.
No. Typeahead reads the text around your cursor and the page on screen, processes it on your Mac, and never sends your writing to a server. The sites you write on still receive what you send them, as they always do. Typeahead’s only network activity is license activation, a license check each time the app starts, optional update checks, and the one-time download of your AI model.
