FasType Typing Tutorial

FasType Typing Tutorial is an intuitive and instructive application that comes in handy for novices to learn all the keyboard keys in a simple way, while experts can test their typing speed and precision.

While the old-looking layout might not please some users, the didactic and easy way offered by the app can make other users overlook this little aspect. The interface provides a standard toolbar that stacks useful functions at a click away, and the practice panel.

The main purpose of the app is to teach you the keyboard keys and to increase your speed and accuracy, by providing you with a two-handed mode to type the displayed words, phrases and sentences.

It's recommended to pay the "Typing Drills" menu a visit in order to choose what letters, numbers and capitals should be displayed for each level (beginner, intermediate, advanced).

You have the option to add other special characters to the list and select the typing mode (both hands, right or left hand). If you are a novice, it's best to start with the beginner's drills and advance at your own pace.

A virtual keyboard is displayed, showing you what letters or numbers to press. The default time limit is set at one minute. You can change the value to a custom one.

The program offers famous quotes, technical expressions, and popular and funny tongue twisters to make these exercises interesting and challenging. What's more, it's possible to enter your own text and test your skills on it.

Once an exercise is completed, the app displays your statistics that contain the number of typed errors, accuracy, drill length, total keystrokes, gross, net and error words. Plus, you can view the computed words per minute and your best performance.

Last but not least, you can change the text and background colors, along with the font type, size and style. If the background sounds annoys you, it can be disabled with one click from the toolbar.

To sum it up, FasType Typing Tutorial is a useful program designed to help you learn the keyboard keys, how to type without watching the keyboard and to test your skills with slow or fast paced texts.
