I can't type at all — where do I start?

Start with Magic Words. It shows a simple three-letter word and lights up the next letter on the keyboard itself — you can press the key or tap it on screen. No timer, no pressure, skip any word you like.

How does the speed target work?

You choose your own target — 5, 10, 25 or 45 words per minute — and every word's fuse is timed to that pace. Reach your target cleanly and raise it, or move on to full lines.

The trainer speaks words aloud at a pace you choose — 10 to 40 words per minute — and you type what you hear. There's a repeat button, and you get spoken feedback at the end.
