TypeAlong.com: free non-boring typing tutor

Post by reinhard » Tue Mar 30, 2010 4:35 pm

In the same autodidactic vein as blankful, here's a non-boring typing tutor/test that I threw together for my own amusement.

http://typealong.com/

Remaining todos:

1) support umlauts and other non-ascii charcters so I can practice my Deutsch

2) make keyboard display into a heatmap showing error hotspots

3) show full keyboard and not just letters.

4) minor cosmetic stuff, centering, etc.

Hope someone else finds this useful!

Reinhard
