TWO WAYS TO LEARN. ONE PLACE TO GROW.
More confidence with every keystroke.
01
Typing with audio dictation
Listen to a word or a longer passage, type what you hear, and repeat it as often as you need. Adjust the voice and playback speed. Once you are comfortable, try eyes-closed practice with audio guidance.
Read or listen to a task, then perform its key combination in the focused exercise area. Get immediate feedback, use a hint when needed, and build recall through repetition. Protected browser and system commands use a written answer or on-screen keys.
Practise English, German, Swiss Standard German and Amharic typing. Choose Windows or macOS and a compatible keyboard layout. Swiss and German QWERTZ are distinct, and Ctrl, Strg, Command, Option and Alt are explained in context.
Use spoken prompts, adjustable text size, high contrast and word-based sessions without a countdown. Explore the audio and display controls and read our current accessibility limitations before choosing a setup.
