Right click and "save as"
Instructions
These instructions are also in the Addon file.
UI Panel placed in Text Data Properties - Each element has a tooltip with basic description.
To Setup or enable text Animation check the "Animate Text?" option in the Typing Animation.
By Default only "Text to Type" and "Typing Speed" are required.
"Text to Type" can be set by typing into the text box or by Clicking the "Use Current Text" button.
Clicking the button will grab the current body of the Text Object itself.
The "Typing Speed" is the speed in frames. So setting it to 2 means every 2 frames a new letter will appear.
"Start Frame" can be chosen by setting it in the number selector or by clicking the "Use Current Frame" button beside it.
Clicking the button use the current frame from the animation timeline.
The "Calculated End Frame" shows you what frame the text will finish typing on based upon the Amount of text, the Start frame and the typing Speed.
The "Calculated End Frame" is the defalt end frame unless checking the "Set Different End Frame?" option.
When checking this optiion more Options appear.
Choosing a different End Frame causes the remaining text to suddenly appear if it is less then the "Calculated End Frame".
Setting the End Frame can be done in the same way as setting the Start Frame.
