Type O'Key

The Fun Way to Learn Touch Typing

Whether you call it typing or keyboarding, these days the ability to type quickly and efficiently is one of the most important skills that you can learn. Long after you've forgotten the Pythagorean Theorem, and long after learning Avogadro's Number will have ceased to be useful, you'll still be typing, whether it's a part of your job, or just sitting at home sending email. If you don't know how to type, it's time to learn!

Type O'Key is a typing tutor that will teach you how to touch type with ever-increasing speed and accuracy. What's more, Type O'Key has support for multiple languages, even those with letters with diacritical signs such as accents, cedillas, circumflexes and the like.

The greatest thing about Type O'Key is the fact that the program adapts its difficulty to address your specific areas of weakness. Type O'Key presents you with a line of words to test your typing skill - if you tend to make mistakes more often with some letters rather than others, Type O'Key will present you with a heavier concentration of words that contain your problem letter. The result - a direct remediation of your weakest areas, causing you to actually learn by doing! Upon successfully completing each level with no mistakes, and in the proper time limit, you advance to the next level which contains even more letters to learn.

And what's more, Type O'Key is multi-lingual! It takes the specified language and keyboard layout directly from your operating system. As such, it can work with any language -- exotic or otherwise -- that is installed on your computer (ok, any language besides hieroglyphics)!

At any moment, you can always check your statistics file in Type O'Key to track your progress from day to day - there's even support for multiple users, so you can compare and compete!
