Description from store

Introducing the ultimate solution for Duolingo learners who crave a seamless language learning experience! If you've ever found yourself frustrated by the tedious task of searching for words in the word bank, worry no more.

With just a click, this extension brings back the precious ability to type your responses in Duolingo's "Write this in English" exercise. Say farewell to the word bank's limitations and embrace the keyboard's full potential!

The extension isn't functioning correctly?
Try fully exiting Duolingo, then relaunch.
If that proves futile, wait until a bug fix is available.

great! but stopped working recently, sometimes, in the middle of the challenge it stucks, and you have to reload.

I don't know why, but it just...doesn't work for me. I've exited and re-entered the website may times but it just doesn't do anything.

I love that it also prevents you from losing hearts when you make a mistake. Score!

Awesome! Thank you!!!

Makes Duolingo a genuine language learning tool. Choosing from word banks only works on recognition but typing works on recall. And like... choosing from the word banks is a nightmare for more practical reasons, pecking around with a mouse and all that. I really recommend pairing with Extension for Duolingo if you don't want to use your mouse at all. It allows you to navigate the between lessons screen with your keyboard and also numbers all responses on the rare screens where you have to click a word even with TypeLingo: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/Extension%20for%20Duolingo/imkilagmimmnfcicabegllpcfbjkhdci

I wish gap-fill also worked (whole sentence instead of 1 word)

this is truly the only way that duo is usable on the computer. it is still annoying how often it switches inputs, such as word matching or giving 3 options and you pick one. but when the sentence questions come up it is so great to never have to use a word bank again. the word banks are p a i n f u l. thank you so much to the developer of this extension!!
Simon Smith

Thank you so much for making this! It works perfectly for me right now (4/9). I pretty much gave up on Duolingo when they removed the typing option, but this makes it worth using again. Thank you!

Thank for you making this extension to restore a key function that Duolingo removed. Being able to think in my head and type my answer really improves my ability to learn a language.

Life saver of an extension, was about to delete duo entirely until I came across this.

Absolutely perfect! Exactly what I was searching for and works flawlessly. Now you just need to find a way to make it work in the mobile app xD

finally you can mess up by typing rather than slowly selecting predefined words this is what language learning is about! I'd rather miss the mark completely rather than have my hand held to a wrong answer! Thanks.

Works like a charm. No longer are you forced to search and peck through a word bank. I was considering dropping Duolingo until I came across extension.

Great! A way to rewind the regression Duo did, this would help the experience and efficiency of language learning on it a lot.
