Is the Typewizz course free?

You can start for free: the first lessons of the course require no payment and no card. The whole course, typing training, statistics and other features are unlocked by Typewizz Full Access, available as a one-time lifetime purchase or as 6-month access.

How long does it take to learn touch typing?

Most people learn touch typing with Typewizz in 1–2 months by practising 10–15 minutes a day. You notice the first improvement within a few days, and a really high speed takes about 3–4 months of regular practice.

Do I need to install Typewizz?

No, Typewizz runs online in your web browser with nothing to install. It works on Windows, macOS and Linux, and we regularly optimise it for all three.

What is finger placement and do I have to memorise it?

Finger placement defines which finger operates which keys. You do not need to memorise it: Typewizz shows the right finger for every key and your fingers learn their range through muscle memory in the first lessons.

What is the home row?

The home row is the middle row of letter keys where your fingers rest: A S D F for the left hand and J K L ; for the right. Fingers reach all other keys from there and return to it.

How do I stop looking at the keyboard?

Type slowly and accurately using the finger placement and keep your eyes on the screen, or cover the keyboard. After a few Typewizz lessons the finger movements become automatic and the urge to look disappears.

What is a good typing speed?

A good typing speed is 50–70 words per minute, roughly 250–350 characters, with at least 95% accuracy. The average is about 40 words per minute, most office jobs call for 50–60 and professionals who type all day reach 80 and more. With touch typing you get to a good speed within a few weeks of practice.

How many minutes a day should I practise touch typing?

10–20 minutes a day is enough. Short daily practice works far better than an hour once a week, because muscle memory needs regular repetition. At that pace you master the basics in 4–6 weeks.

Can I still learn touch typing as an adult?

Yes, anyone can learn touch typing at any age. Adults need a little more repetition than children to overwrite old habits, but they practise with more discipline. Most adults type without looking after 4–6 weeks of short daily practice.

Is learning touch typing worth it?

Yes, if you type on a computer every day. Two-finger typists usually manage 30–40 words per minute, touch typists commonly 60 and more, roughly double. You also watch the screen instead of the keyboard, make fewer mistakes and focus on the content rather than on finding keys.

From what age can children learn touch typing?

From roughly 7 to 10 years, once their hands are big enough and they can focus on a short exercise. Younger children can simply get to know the keyboard through play. The earlier a child learns the right finger placement, the easier it is, because there is no two-finger habit to unlearn.

What is the average typing speed?

The average person types about 200 characters per minute, which is 40 words per minute. Touch typists usually reach 300–400 CPM and professionals exceed 500. The Typewizz test measures your speed in one minute.

What do CPM and WPM mean?

CPM (characters per minute) is the number of keystrokes typed in a minute, WPM is words per minute, where one word equals 5 characters. So 1 WPM = 5 CPM. Typewizz shows your result in CPM.

How do I get a typing speed certificate?

By passing the one-minute Typewizz typing test. You get the bronze certificate from 200 CPM with 96.5% accuracy, silver from 250 CPM and 98.5%, gold from 350 CPM and 99.5%. You can download the certificate and attach it to your CV.

How can I type faster?

The fastest way is touch typing without looking at the keyboard plus short regular practice of 10–15 minutes a day. Beginners benefit most from the Typewizz course, advanced typists from typing training on interesting texts.

What matters more, speed or accuracy?

Accuracy. Every mistake costs time to fix, so someone typing 50 words per minute at 98% accuracy ends up faster than someone typing 60 at 85%. Type with the right fingers and without errors first; speed comes with practice on its own.
