Typing Test Pixie

Nowadays, being able to type quickly is a skill that everyone can benefit from, as most of us spend a lot of time in front of a computer screen every day.

Typing Test Pixie is an educational application that can help you improve your typing speed and accuracy through a series or exercises. Moreover, it includes a fun game that makes the process a lot more entertaining and should, therefore, be suitable for children.

The available exercises are split into three categories, each designed to help you practice typing characters, words and articles. A large number of lessons are included, so you should expect to see considerable progress if you complete all of them.

Typing Test Pixie displays a virtual keyboard on the screen that can help novices out by indicating which key needs to be pressed next, although this function can be disabled.

When you start an exercise, the program measures your typing speed and accuracy, letting you know how well you are doing.

The included game sets the application apart from other typing tutors, and it is great for those who wish to teach children, as they may not have the patience to go through the classic tests.

Your goal is to type the listed characters or words before they reach the bottom of the screen, and there are multiple playing modes to choose from.

While the application does offer several alternative color themes, none of them have a particularly beneficial effect on the program’s appearance.

Also, when practicing in Article mode, the words are sometimes split between two lines, making it a lot more difficult to read the provided texts.

Typing Test Pixie is a fairly simple application designed to help those who wish to improve their typing skills. It offers several modules, including a fun game, but it features a rather disappointing user interface.
