The time required to learn touch typing well depends on you. It is important to practice regularly. For good results, we suggest you do at least one lesson a day.
Remember, knowing where all the letters are doesn’t necessarily mean that you are ready for fast typing. Your fingers need to develop the necessary movement patterns or the so-called “muscle movement memory” of where each specific key is located to be able to type without thinking about the keys or looking at the keyboard. Automatic movements are only developed through much repetition. Remember – only practice makes perfect – nothing else!

To measure WPM, the program counts how many words you have typed per minute: 1 word = 5 characters, including spaces and punctuation marks.
-
From the technical side, you need only an Internet connection. However, you will also need motivation and a willingness to work on improving your touch typing skills.
-
Please make sure that Caps Lock is not on when you start typing. It is when Caps Lock is on that the program asks you to press the Shift key and the letter concerned, simultaneously.

Yes, Typing Study is suitable for people with dyslexia too. With touch typing skills, someone with dyslexia has a distinct advantage over someone without touch typing skills. (As some people with dyslexia have trouble with handwritten text, typewritten text will benefit them greatly, from both a speed and a readability viewpoint.) And of course it really helps to have the text on a computer, because then one can do a spell check!
