type up

Enter via keyboard

Type up means to produce a finished typed version of something, typically from handwritten notes, a rough draft, or dictation: I need to type up my notes from the meeting.

The phrase implies creating a clean, formal document rather than casual typing.

It's becoming less common as handwriting gives way to direct digital composition.
