By Chancey Fleet and Marco Salsiccia.

Jan 31, 2026 Update Log
  • Created brand new Training Mode in Content Settings.
  • Practice QWERTY and Dvorak keyboard rows from left to right.
  • Try typing random letters, numbers,or letters, numbers, and punctuation.
  • Added a new Keyboard Reference accordion between the Content Settings and the Start Lesson button. QWERTY and Dvorak keyboard layouts set up in accessible tables for reference and study.

Instructions

Accessible edition: Uses your local system voice synthesis.

  • Type the sentence you hear. You can change the speech and mode options in Typing Settings.
  • Mistakes trigger a beep and the prompt repeats.
  • Use any keyboard layout to type; QWERTY, DVORAK, Braille Keyboard Input, Braille Screen Input, external braille displays, etc.
  • Keyboard Shortcuts:
    • Backtick (`) key to repeat the current line.
    • Tilde (~), or Shift+Backtick will play the current character that needs to be typed.
    • Vertical Bar (|) or Shift+\ to speak the current word you need to type.
    • Question Mark (?) or Shift+/ to speak what's left of the current line that you need to type.
    • Backslash (\) will immediately exit the lesson.
  • Check out your speed and accuracy results after finishing the lesson or exiting.
  • Typing Settings: Guided Mode speaks the character you have to type one by one. Sentence Mode speaks the whole sentence first before you type.
  • Custom Content accepts up to 40 lines of content for a typing set, otherwise enjoy a random typing set or pick one from the premade sets.
  • Note: Keeping character verbosity on is currently unstable for Chrome for faster typers. Blame Google for this. in Chrome, there will be a Reset Speech button if the speech begins to fail. Pressing Control+Shift+R will also reset speech in Chrome.
  • To tease your family, friends, teachers, and enemies, the original Rick Roll With It Typing game can be found here: Rick Roll With It Typing

Keyboard Layout Reference

Keyboard Layout Reference

These reference tables show the number row, first row,home row, and the third row of keys for standard QWERTY and Dvorak layouts. Set your screen reader punctuation verbosity to All to hear all of the punctuation for Shifted keys.

These tables omit the Space Bar row since these will be different depending on your operating system and computer type. Note that the keyboard shortcut keys have been omitted from the Typing Training mode.
