Yes, typewriters were widely used in 1912. They were commonly found in offices, businesses, and households for various typing tasks before the advent of computers.
Victorian typewriters were used for typing documents by pressing keys to imprint ink on paper. They allowed for faster and more legible typing compared to handwritten documents. These typewriters have a different design and mechanism compared to modern typewriters and computers.

A type writer way back when was sort of like today's computers. People used typewriters to type up papers before the age of computers. Some people, including Ray Bradbury, still use typewriters, although computers have pretty much filled that space in society.

Based on my own experience, people were still using typewriters into the 90's. Not because it was cool, but because computers were still pretty lame and not everyone had one.
Electric typewriters began to become a regular thing in the 1970's, and, believe it or not, some people used them all the way until the 1990s when computers became a regular device (though most offices had computers installed in the 1980s). The final typewriters were much more advanced than you might think-- some electric typewriters from the late 1980s had LCD displays and printers that could be plugged in. It was not the typical, loud, clacky typewriter of the early 20th century.
Typewriters gave way to word processors and defined the keyboard standard we take granted for today.
