This is an absolutely fantastic idea. I have tried many times to sit down and train my typing but it's always incredibly boring.

I'm a rather fidgety person too, so it's actually quite nice to have something for my hands to do while I'm reading!



Maybe try http://www.typingtom.com/ [1].

I found it broke up touch typing into just the right size chunks to engage me.

At the start of Covid, I spent a week doing half an hour a day. My typing speed and accuracy improved out of sight. The whole process of acquiring muscle memory is quite magical. I highly recommend it.

[1] This is the companion site to http://www.speedcoder.net/, which is for coding, and presumes you start with reasonable touch typing skills on normal text.


Thanks, I’ll check it out!
