It was OK while it worked, now it just generates heaps of console errors and doesn't work in Google Chrome browser.

This hasn't worked in years I think. I just know every time I lose text, Typio doesn't have it for me. Used to work pretty well. Need to change though, cuz I'm losing my texts!!

Doesn't work anymore but I still give it five stars. Many thanks to the original coder Nicklas Sandell. And also thanks to Tsukumi Jima for creating a working reboot. Find it here, download the zip, unzip it and load it in developer mode. Works as a charm. https://github.com/tsukumijima/typio-form-recovery-reboot/releases
