Bring your texts to life with Text Animator 💛 TextMeshPro Text Animation and effects

Unity's TextMeshPro can be greatly enhanced by using an asset called Text Animator for Unity by Febucci. It will give you tools to easily create cool looking typewriter effects (with sounds, too!) and animations like shaking words or bouncing. What I especially love is the flexibility the asset brings to our toolboxes: Creating my own tags with custom behaviours as well as using tags as events. So I can just write my dialogues, use the facial expressions I need characters to make via tag and can actually tell the characters to react to words, not just new lines of text! This asset is awesome.
