Touch Typing Course

Touch Typing Course is a lightweight Windows application whose purpose is to help you learn how to type correctly and quickly by taking several tests.

Clean and simple layout

You are welcomed by an intuitive design that allows you to choose between 20 different typing lessons. There’s no support for a help manual but the dedicated parameters look easy to work with, so you can decode the functions in no time.

Keyboard training sessions

Touch Typing Course reveals a keyboard on your screen which has colorful keys and shows a tutorial containing information about how to place your hands and fingers on the keyboard before starting the first lesson.
The application automatically displays the typed text at the bottom of the virtual keyboard. The learning sessions have a structure based on sight, sound, reflexes, as well as memory enhancement techniques. You also get to repeat certain exercises in order to improve your skills.
The utility displays random text on the screen and lets you test your typing capabilities at different speed levels. Plus, it shows different letter combinations that you need to type in order to get used to typing fast and accurately. You can also learn how to type the letters without having to look down at the keyboard.
It doesn’t eat up a lot of CPU and memory so the overall performance of the computer is not hampered.

Bottom line

All things considered, Touch Typing Course provides a simple software solution for enhancing your typing skills. It’s intuitive so it can be handled by beginners and professionals alike. However, it hasn’t been updated for a long time so it may cause compatibility issues on newer operating systems like Windows 8.1.
