Everything written on this site, in one list. These are guides rather than dated posts — they get corrected and extended instead of being published once and left alone.
The four-step beginner course, a realistic four week plan, and the four mistakes that cost the most time.
Which finger owns which key, how to find the home row by feel, and the two long reaches worth drilling separately.
Five drills, what each one fixes, and how to build a practice week that is not just taking the same test every day.
Take a free 1 minute typing test and get your WPM, accuracy and consistency instantly. No sign-up, no ads in the way of the test.
A free 3 minute typing test with live WPM, accuracy and a per-second speed chart. The length employers and transcription tests actually use.
A free 5 minute typing test for endurance and consistency, with net and raw WPM, accuracy and a per-second speed chart.
Learn touch typing from scratch. Home row, finger placement, and the habits that decide whether you plateau at 30 WPM or pass 70.
Typing test built from real code in TypeScript, Python, Go, Rust and SQL. Practise brackets, operators and the symbols that slow developers down.
A dated archive suits news. Typing technique does not change month to month, so each page here is maintained in place: when something turns out to be wrong or incomplete, the page is edited rather than superseded by a newer post repeating most of it.
New guides are added as there is something worth saying, and they appear in this list and in the sitemap when they do. If you were looking for something that is not here, that is useful to know — suggestions are welcome.
