TypingWeb is a free online typing tutor that teaches you how to type faster, make less errors, and improve your overall typing experience.

If you are a computer user who uses a two-finger typing technique you may want to invest some time in a typing course to improve your words per minute count when typing.

Several free computer typing courses are available on the Internet. One of them is Typing Web's Online Typing Tutor which can be accessed by guests and registered users alike.

The typing course is divided into different courses from beginner to advanced, specialty courses and even problem key courses at the end of all typing courses.

The online service keeps track of the progress of registered users which is important as the typing courses can take quite some time to finish. While it is not required to sign up to work your way through the course, it is suggested to do so for the additional features registered accounts get.

typing courses

Each typing course consists of several separate lessons. The typing tutor displays various statistics after each separate lesson and each typing course. These include the number of words that you type per minute, the accuracy, and problematic keys.

The first courses show the computer keyboard and the fingers that should be used to type the requested key. This is helpful for users who need some visual guidance in their first lessons.

The beginning courses for example targets the different computer keyboard rows. They start with a single line of different computer keys that need to be typed in by the user. The typing courses become more difficult with time. Advanced courses for example ask the user to type in multiple key rows without the visual aid provided in the beginner's courses.

It is suggested to work your way up if you are an absolute beginner. If you type fast already but want to get faster, then you may very well start with the advanced course and go from there, or even use the practice lessons to work on specific things such as alphanumeric data entry, or the numeric keypad.

Registration is not mandatory, but if you want the typing tutor to keep track of your progress, it is required.

TypingWeb's Online Typing Tutor is a helpful typing course for beginners but also advanced users who want to work on their typing speed and decrease their typing error ratio.

Verdict

Typing Web is one of the best typing tutors on today's Internet. Especially the visualization on the screen, that is exactly showing you which finger needs to hit which key on the keyboard is helpful in improving your typing over time.

Advanced users may use it to improve their typing, for instance to improve data input using the numerical keypad, or when typing alphanumerical characters.

You find other typing games, tests and information on the site as well which you may find useful.

      Well it is a bit difficulty to distinguish between name.com domains and files for instance.

    The comments section under this very article (3 comments) is identical to the comments section found under the following article:
    https://www.ghacks.net/2023/08/15/netflix-is-testing-game-streaming-on-tvs-and-computers/

    Not sure what the issue is, but have seen this issue under some other articles recently but did not report it back then.

    With the cloud, there is no such thing as unlimited storage or privacy. Stop relying on these tech scums. Purchase your own hardware and develop your own solutions.

      This is a certified reddit cringe moment. Hilarious how the article’s author tries to dress it up like it’s anything more than a png for doing the reddit corporation’s moderation work for free (or for bribes from companies and political groups)

    With Google Chrome, it’s only been 1,500 for some time now.

    Anyone who wants to force me in such a way into buying something that I can get elsewhere for free will certainly never see a single dime from my side. I don’t even know how stupid their marketing department is to impose these limits on users instead of offering a valuable product to the paying faction. But they don’t. Even if you pay, you get something that is also available for free elsewhere.

    The algorithm has also become less and less savvy in terms of e.g. English/German translations. It used to be that the bot could sort of sense what you were trying to say and put it into different colloquialisms, which was even fun because it was like, “I know what you’re trying to say here, how about…” Now it’s in parts too stupid to translate the simplest sentences correctly, and the suggestions it makes are at times as moronic as those made by Google Translations.

    If this is a deep-learning AI that learns from users’ translations and the phrases they choose most often – which, by the way, is a valuable, moneys worthwhile contribution of every free user to this project: They invest their time and texts, thereby providing the necessary data for the AI to do the thing as nicely as they brag about it in the first place – alas, the more unprofessional users discovered the translator, the worse the language of this deep-learning bot has become, the greater the aggregate of linguistically illiterate users has become, and the worse the language of this deep-learning bot has become, as it now learns the drivel of every Tom, Dick and Harry out there, which is why I now get their Mickey Mouse language as suggestions: the inane language of people who can barely spell the alphabet, it seems.

    And as a thank you for our time and effort in helping them and their AI learn, they’ve lowered the limit from what was once 5,000 to now 1,500…? A big “fuck off” from here for that! Not a brass farthing from me for this attitude and behaviour, not in a hundred years.

    Ghacks comments have been broken for too long. What article did you see this comment on? Reply below. If we get to 20 different articles we should all stop using the site in protest.

    I posted this on [https://www.ghacks.net/2023/09/28/reddit-enforces-user-activity-tracking-on-site-to-push-advertising-revenue/] so please reply if you see it on a different article.

    Article Title: Reddit enforces user activity tracking on site to push advertising revenue
    Article URL: https://www.ghacks.net/2023/09/28/reddit-enforces-user-activity-tracking-on-site-to-push-advertising-revenue/

    No surprises here. This is just the beginning really. I cannot see a valid reason as to why anyone would continue to use the platform anymore when there are enough alternatives fill that void.

    I’m not sure if there is a point in commenting given that comments seem to appear under random posts now, but I’ll try… this comment is for https://www.ghacks.net/2023/09/28/reddit-enforces-user-activity-tracking-on-site-to-push-advertising-revenue/

    My temporary “solution”, if you can call it that, is to use a VPN (Mullvad in my case) to sign up for and access Reddit via a European connection. I’m doing that with pretty much everything now, at least until the rest of the world catches up with GDPR. I don’t think GDPR is a magical privacy solution but it’s at least a first step.
