Comment on Piece work entry unpaid

She could have all the text loaded and ready to go for the textbox and when it gets to that part, push a button that is hardwired and it can ‘type’ all of the text for her so that the system wouldn’t crap it up as it wouldn’t be ‘pasted’ in. Just an idea for a solution for her.

You could achieve this with something like AutoHotKey on Windows or xdotool/wtype on Linux. An entire extra piece of hardware seems unnecessary

Sure, I guess it all depends what you have laying around. Like if you had a spare monkey that knew how to type. That’s why I said it was just “an” idea. The only thing I would add though is if she needed to type this all in from a machine she doesn’t have admin rights to, then the extra hardware might be the only way. Again, it was just an option…
