TypingClub review

TypingClub ranks first because it teaches touch typing step by step and keeps every lesson free. Each lesson is a short exercise that you repeat until you earn all five stars, and a hand posture guide shows which finger belongs on each key as you type. Levels, badges and stars give learners a reason to come back, and the course mixes in games, videos and typing challenges. You can start without an account and create an optional profile later to save progress. Beyond the standard QWERTY plan there are lesson plans for Dvorak, for typing with one hand, and Jungle Junior for young kids, plus courses in Spanish, French and German. TypingClub reports more than 23 million students and 50,000 schools and districts. The tradeoff is that it is a course first and a game second, so learners who only want to race may get bored. We compared documented features and published prices only.
