Scramble Text
Plays on load, when it scrolls into view, or on hover and focus (also of a parent link). Spaces and punctuation stay put, and the final text holds its width from the start.
The decision inside it
Screen readers never hear the noise
The real words are always the accessible text, and everything drawn is hidden from assistive tech.
When to use it
Use Scramble Text for a short headline, label or code that should resolve like a decrypted message: a security page, a hover on a link. Keep it to a line.
Installation
How you get it
Paste this into Claude Code, Cursor, Codex or any coding agent. It installs the file and uses it as it is, instead of writing a new one.
Use Layro's Scramble Text for this.
Install it: npx shadcn@latest add @layro/scramble-text
(the @layro registry is set up in components.json, with LAYRO_KEY in .env.local)
Import it from @/components/ui/scramble-text.
Do not rewrite or restyle it. Pass my data through its props
and keep its built-in states.For the full brief with every prop and the mistakes assistants usually make, use Copy prompt above. Free components install through the @layro registry with your CLI token: see the Namespaced tab.
Usage
import { ScrambleText } from "@/components/ui/scramble-text";
export function SecurityHeading() {
return <ScrambleText as="h2" text="Every signature, sealed and verifiable." trigger="view" className="text-3xl font-semibold" />;

Props
Read from the component’s own TypeScript interface when the site is built, so this table cannot drift from the file you install.
| Prop | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
textrequired | string | — |
trigger | "mount" | "view" | "hover" | When it plays: once on load, when scrolled into view, or on hover and focus. Default "view". |

charset | string | Characters to scramble through. Default letters, digits and a few symbols. |
as | React.ElementType | The element to render. Default "span". |
