For beginners and returning typists

Start with an easy word exercise, keep your hands in a comfortable position and practise a little at a time. The visual keyboard shows the next key; completion results report speed and accuracy.

Choose your practice

Choose a word target for practice without a countdown, or a timed session. Switch between words and sentences, numbers, punctuation, or maths and code. You can also save your own practice text locally in this browser.

Listen as you type

Enable Voice assistance (Sprachhilfe), choose a system voice and adjust the speech speed. Replay a word or passage with Enter in the typing field or Alt + R. The exercise remains available as visible text.

Choose your language and layout

Typing material is available in English, German, Swiss Standard German and Amharic. Select the operating system first, then the language and a compatible layout. Typing controls follow the practice language; shortcut lessons and main navigation currently use German.

* Available layouts depend on language and system. Dvorak is currently offered for English on macOS. Explore keyboard layouts →
