YOUR KEYBOARD. MORE POSSIBILITIES.

Listen. Type. Find your flow.

Learn to type by listening instead of copying text from the screen. AlphaType reads words and passages aloud while you type what you hear. This is listen-and-type practice: your keyboard supplies the answer.

Game Station offers five games in English, German, French and Italian: two journey games, Race Rally and two F-16 sorties. Like the text trainer, the voice reads each word just before you type it. Progress is saved on this device.

How audio dictation works

Open Free text and turn voice on in the toolbar. Under Settings → Audio typing practice, choose Next word or mark, 3, 4 or 5 words, Phrase, or Sentence. The same exercise can remain visible on screen.

Replay and adjust the pace

Press Enter in the exercise to repeat and spell the current word. In Settings, choose an available System voice and Speech speed from 0.75× to 2×. Use Preview voice to listen and Stop voice to stop playback.

Choose how errors affect practice

Turn Allow errors off to retry the affected word after a mistake; completed words remain. Turn it on to keep typing with visible error marks, or use Backspace to correct them. Start with short spoken sections before increasing the amount to remember.

Speech availability

Voices depend on the browser and device. Practice supports English, German, French and Italian, including the listed regional variants. Voices are labelled on-device or network. Choosing a voice from another language group changes the practice language. If speech fails or stops, the target text remains visible.

* In Free text, available layouts follow the selected system. Practice language and keyboard are independent; AlphaType does not change your device’s layout. Explore keyboard layouts →
