Adding dummy text to your webpage design is quick way to see how well your page layout looks. It eliminates the need to type a paragraph worth of gibberish text and pasting it on all of your text placeholders. Acquiring dummy text is relatively simple thanks to several online dummy text generators that are just a Google away. Some applications like Adobe InDesign have the ability to add dummy text straight from the application. While most of the available online generators have various options in generating dummy text, Fillerati is the generator that clearly stands out from the pack.
The main page puts the tool front and center and it already offers 2 paragraphs of text that you can copy immediately. One of the refreshing things about the text is that it isn’t written in the “Lorem Ipsum” style. Instead, it takes an excerpt of a famous novel like The Wizard of Oz. You can optionally choose author and the title of the piece if you want some variation.
The best part of this dummy text generator lies in the way you generate the text and copy it to your computer’s clipboard. You simply just have to pick the HTML tag the text is intended for (or you can opt to copy just plain text) and you just position your mouse cursor anywhere on the slider. As soon as your cursor meets the slider, you will see a live preview showing how many paragraphs, sentences or words you want to copy. As indicated on the slider, the further you move to the right, the higher the amount and the text is generated in real time. Once you hit the desired number, you just click your left mouse button and you are all set to paste the content to your webpage. Demonstrating the power of HTML5, Fillerati loads fast and does not require a keyboard to operate.
