from itertools import groupby

text1 = [list(g) for _, g in groupby(text)]
typed1 = [list(g) for _, g in groupby(typed)]
return all((text != typed,
len(typed1) == len(text1),
*[b[0] == a[0] and len(b) >= len(a) for a, b in zip(text1, typed1)]))
print("Example:")
print(long_pressed("alex", "aaleex"))
