TypingWeb has been helping the world learn to type for 10 years now, and what a trip it’s been. And while we’ve been enjoying our little site, and our millions of happy users, we decided to kick it up a notch.. BAM! And so we all sat down one day, and one of our crack team said, “What if we rebuilt TypingWeb from scratch.” Some of us snickered, and some of us stared wide-eyed. But then we all had a “hmmm” moment, and it clicked – why not?

And from that fateful comment, a new typing tutor was born. Not a scratch of code was reused. We laid out every feature we could dream of. “All new professionally designed skins?” OK! “Oh, I think we should support every major world keyboard format!” Sure. “Can we translate this so the entire world can use it?” I suppose so. And so, without further adieu, here’s a brief list of new features for your enjoyment.
