typescripts

Typed written works

Typescripts are documents produced on a typewriter, as distinguished from handwritten manuscripts or printed texts.

Before word processors, authors submitted typescripts to publishers: The editor marked up the typescript with corrections.

The term persists in publishing and archival contexts.

Typescript is also a programming language that extends JavaScript with static typing.
