YOUR KEYBOARD. MORE POSSIBILITIES.

Your language. Your keyboard.

Practise on the keyboard you actually use. AlphaType distinguishes operating system, lesson language and keyboard layout so letters and symbols make sense together.

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.

QWERTY and Dvorak

In Free text Settings, choose System and then Keyboard. Windows offers US and UK QWERTY, AZERTY, national layouts and Windows Dvorak; macOS offers its listed layouts and US Dvorak. AlphaType displays a guide and does not remap your physical keyboard.

Swiss and German QWERTZ

Swiss and German QWERTZ have different accent and symbol keys. In Free text, choose the physical layout independently of CH · Deutsch or DE · Deutsch practice. The alphabet trainer instead combines the country, language and diagram in its language menu.

Match language and layout

In Free text, System determines the available layouts; changing Practice language does not change the physical layout. The alphabet trainer offers its own language and layout combinations. Check a few keys and symbols after choosing.

Modifiers across operating systems

Windows keyboards may label Control as Ctrl or Strg. Mac keyboards add Command and Option. A matching visual keyboard helps you identify the intended key without treating every platform as identical.

* 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 →
