About AlphaType
AlphaType is a free typing and shortcut trainer that you can use by reading, by listening, or both.
What it offers
A letter-key course, free-text typing practice with spoken guidance and dictation, a shortcut trainer for Windows and macOS, and five typing games. The interface and exercises are available in English, German, French and Italian.
Why it exists
Typing improves when you can concentrate on the exercise. AlphaType therefore keeps the trainer in focus and adds audio assistance, readable fonts, adjustable text size and contrast for people who learn better with them.
What it costs
AlphaType is free to use. You do not need an account; an account only adds synchronisation between devices and public reviews.
Accessibility, stated plainly
Audio assistance and keyboard operation are built in, but complete workflows with VoiceOver, NVDA and JAWS have not yet been verified. The accessibility page lists the current limits.
Who runs it
AlphaType is developed and operated by Dagem Tegegne in Switzerland. Questions and feedback: info@alphatype.ch.
