RapidTyping is a program for Windows designed as a virtual tutor that helps users improve typing speed and accuracy in an engaging and customizable environment.
Classes
There are pre-configured courses for different skill levels, ranging from beginner to professional. Lessons focus on mastering the home, top and bottom rows as well as numeric keypad, progressing in difficulty. Users can choose to practice specific letters or character sets to target weak areas.
During lessons, you receive real-time feedback on speed, accuracy and errors made while typing. Each key press is tracked, highlighting mistakes instantly and helping you learn correct finger placement. Color-coded visual cues provide immediate correction for additional context.
Keyboard
The app features an on-screen virtual keyboard that displays proper finger placement and movement. Animated hands guide learners through exercises, showing which fingers to use for each button. Besides, just like in Typing Land, you can create custom lessons with your own text or import external documents for practice. Educators have an option to build tailored plans for individual students or classrooms.
