FairType Description

FairType is a feather-light and portable piece of software that provides you with a simple means of improving your typing skills.
It has built-in documentation with words and sequences that you must type in the correct order so that the app may calculate your average and peak speed, aside from other statistics.
Although the tool may sound complicated to work with, it actually features just a couple of options that can be quickly figured out by users, regardless of their previous experience with typing tools.

No setup necessary

Since there is no installation involved, you can drop the program files in any part of the disk and just click the executable to launch FairType.
It's also possible to create a copy and keep it stored on a USB flash drive to be able to run the app on any PC with minimum effort. Unlike most installers, it doesn't modify the Windows registry settings.

Simple interface with two typing modes

The GUI is user-friendly and consists of a single window with a plain-looking structure, where you can select between two typing modes: words or sequence.
As soon as you accurately type words or sequences from the given sheet, FairType loads the next sheet and reveals your average and peak typing speed in the status bar.
Hovering the mouse cursor over this area shows additional details, namely the total number of completed exercises, and typed words and letters, in addition to the average and peak characters per minute.
There are no other notable options available here. For instance, it doesn't let you import your own files with words and sequences.

Evaluation and conclusion

No error dialogs popped up in our tests, and the app didn't hang or crash. As expected, it left a small footprint on system resources, using low CPU and RAM.
To conclude, FairType offers a straightforward solution to learning how to type faster. Unfortunately, it doesn't include advanced settings.
