TypeFaster Typing Tutor


TypeFaster Typing Tutor

About TypeFaster

This free typing tutor teaches you how to touch-type. Once you can touch-type you will not need to look at the keyboard to find the letters you want to type. The program comes in three versions: Standard, Accessible and Spanish. Use the menu on the left to navigate to the version you are interested in.

The version of TypeFaster Typing Tutor that is installed can be set when the installer is run.
Single-user This is for one user on one computer.
Multi-user This is for several users on one computer. For example, each of your family members can have their own login. The settings and progress of each user is stored.
Multi-user with teacher support This version is designed for use in a school. It must be installed in one place only, for example in a shared, writable network folder. Ideally in its own fairly small partition but with some space for new users. In this version there are two types of users: ordinary users and users with teacher privileges.
When ordinary users (pupils) login, they must select a teacher. The pupil will then get the lesson files that that teacher specified. So there should be a teacher's name for each different set of lesson files. An example of a teacher's login name is:
'Mr Smith'
If Mr Smith teaches typing to two different grades then he should create a different login for each grade, so for example, he could then create two users with teacher privileges:
'Mr Smith's Grade 8s' and
'Mr Smith's Grade 9s'
and give them different lesson files.
