typing out

Entering text manually

Typing out means to produce text by pressing keys on a keyboard, with emphasis on the complete or extended nature of the work.

You type out a full document rather than just jotting notes: She typed out the entire manuscript in one sitting.

The phrase often implies deliberate effort or thoroughness: He typed out a long apology.
