Do you know that the gif was edited in Image Ready?

There are many programs that can create animated gif files.

The words were not typed in as complete words, they were created a letter at a time on frames. See my attachment showing 3 frames from the gif file you provided.

Photoshop animations make use of layers as the main way to animate, turning objects on and of when making key frames so the easiest way for the text to grow is on the text layer type the full message then use a layer mask. {Go to the menu select layer mask hide all}.On the layers pallet click between the text and the mask to unlink the mask from the text. Now with the move tool move the mask to the right { To move the mask to the right, click on the mask icon in the layers pallet. then do Ctrl+A to select all. now with the move tool selected you can move the layer mask across to the right to show the text} this will show the letters one by one so it is just up to you now to link with the key frames to get the effect that you want.
Hope this helps.
