Auto typer for Notion
Your draft, typed into Notion.
Trace types text you have already written into a Notion page, one keystroke at a time, at the speed you choose. It types into Notion in Chrome and never connects to your workspace.

Three steps. That’s it.

Good to know
How Trace handles Notion
Paragraphs become blocks
Each line break in your draft is a press of Enter, which Notion turns into a new block, just as it does when you type.
Notion’s shortcuts still apply
Notion can turn some line starts into blocks as they are typed, such as “- ” into a bullet or “# ” into a heading. Trace does not undo that in Notion, so check lists and headings once your draft is in.
Word files arrive as plain text
Bold, italics and headings from a Word upload are applied only in Google Docs and Word on the web. In Notion the text comes in plain, and a page break becomes an empty line.
No access to your workspace
Trace doesn’t use Notion’s API or ask you to connect an account. It types into the page you have open.
Schools and workplaces set their own rules about how work is entered. Trace types writing that is already yours; where a rule says otherwise, follow the rule. Read the ethics statement.
Questions
Trace in Notion, answered.
Does Trace write the text for me?
No. Trace types text you have already written into Notion. It does not generate, rewrite or paraphrase anything.
Is Trace free to use in Notion?
Yes. Typing into Notion is free, with unlimited words once you sign in and 1,000 words a day without an account. Pro, at C$4.99 a month or C$39.99 a year with a 7-day free trial, adds Human Touch and Your Fingerprint.
Does it work in the Notion desktop app?
No. Trace types into Chrome tabs, so open Notion in Chrome rather than the desktop app.
Does Trace connect to my Notion account?
No. It doesn’t use Notion’s API or ask for access to your workspace. It types into the page open in your Chrome tab.
