Touch-typing trainer
A little steadier. A little smoother.
Start with the home row, add keys a few at a time, then give your slower and more-missed keys some extra attention.
Practice
English · QWERTYUse the bumps on F and J to find your starting position. Let your fingers return to the home row. Go as slowly as you need.
Accuracy first. Speed can follow.
Start a lesson, then type the practice line. The clock starts on your first character. A physical keyboard is best; a phone’s suggestions can change the task.
Your keys, at a glance
A deeper blue means a key currently gets more adaptive practice: it is slower, more often missed, or both. Select a key for its numbers. Blank keys have no data yet.
Less extra practice → More extra practice
F: no attempts yet
Your practice, over time
Compare sessions with similar settings. These are your own results, not a ranking.
Your first session starts the story. Finish a practice to see your history here.
Optional and off by default. Sends session settings, numeric totals and reading-question choices to Helibrain, with no typed text, key timing, account or browser identifier.
A small practice, with a clear purpose
Lessons introduce F and J, D and K, the rest of the home row, then the upper and lower rows. Practice uses only the keys introduced so far. Adaptive practice samples familiar words with extra weight for your slower and more-missed keys; it does not lock you into one difficult letter.
A few useful answers
Does adaptive practice use what I type elsewhere?
No. It uses only attempts made inside this trainer. Per-key counts and intervals stay in your browser or in the JSON file you choose to export.
Can I use a different language or keyboard?
This first version teaches English QWERTY. Other layouts need their own key progression and reviewed word list. Changing your physical layout may make these lessons less useful.
