Keybr is very straightforward. You can choose from three basic lessons what
start with a centain number of keys on the keyboard, and then, as you progress
through the lessons, more keys are introduced to the mix to make things a
little tougher. As an added bonus, our software keeps track of all your mistakes
and your words–per–minute (wpm) —-and even creates
graphs of your day–by–day performance.
Unlike much of the teaching typing software available out there,
Keybr does not force you to type random characters over and over again;
that is simply boring and contributes very little to your learning. Instead,
Keybr generates readable random words using the phonetic rules of your native
language. These words look almost natural, and often they really are. Typing
sensible text is much easier than random letters, and it helps you to remember
frequent key combinations. For example, it’s almost impossible for the letter
‘W’ to follow the ‘Z’ in English, and you will never type this combination
in Keybr. Instead, you will type more common words, such as “the,” “that,”
“with,” and so on. Keybr lets you introduce as few keys as possible to the lesson,
adding more keys later when you feel that you are competent and fast enough
on the current level. So, if you start with the keys from the Caps Lock row, then
add keys form the Tab row, and then from the Shift row, you will eventually
end up typing real text with capital letters and punctuation.
Keybr is a web–based software that runs directly in your browser. You don’t
have to download or install anything! The most recent and up–to–date version
is always with you. You can use it from any computer connected to the Internet,
and your typing statistics are kept on the web site and available on–demand.
