After entering the app, the user will be prompted to pick their language and keyboard layout and engage with the list of the available lessons that are accessible via the dropdown menu on the top-left corner of the app. The user interface of the TypeFaster Typing Tutor is very old-school, so much so that some users may even find it unappealing. It features support for 14 international languages, several keyboard layouts, an innovative game mode in which users can practice typing inside a fun game environment, and a wide array of analytics that can showcase to the users their least accurate keys and offer customized practice sessions that will try to iron out those deficiencies. Built from the ground up to be as portable and flexible as possible, this entire application is available as an open-source project that can be modified or even fully embedded into web pages.
With more and more people interacting with modern keyboards daily (often for school and work purposes, where any wasted time can lead to the dramatic loss of productivity), this application enables anyone to learn the basics, go through a regiment of lessons that will test anyone’s typing skills. The only criticism is the lack of a volume control for the odd time you may want to run another audio stream while doing your practice sessions.TypeFaster is a lightweight self-improvement Typing Tutor application that provides users of all knowledge levels with an excellent solution to learn how to type faster. I recommend the program but insist that you must exercise discipline to make it work for you. Discipline paid off and I can now touch type almost as fast as I could previously but with complete confidence that my new touch typing skills will soon have me typing much faster than with my old method. I made steady progress by forbidding myself to not proceed to the next lesson till I had achieved 20 WPM with an accuracy of 95%.
Finally, determination and a reduction in the need for high speed typing in the immediate future, I vowed I would resume and complete the lessons. Besides which, you could type faster that way! After two attempts and for expediency, reverting back to my old habits, I found myself dropping the practice sessions. I found TypeFaster tedious because it made the previously unused fingers ache and in the early stages, because the lessons had not imparted enough to actually use what you had learned for your everyday typing needs, you went back to your old method. After seeing a colleague touch typing at an incredible speed, I vowed I would teach myself to do the same.
