Your Right Pinky finger needs more practice. Focus on exercises that target these keys.
Try practicing with longer texts to build typing endurance and consistency.
Practice daily for at least 10-15 minutes for the best improvement.

Questions
What do I get without paying?
The Basic touch-typing course from start to finish, the one-minute speed test, every typing game, and your progress saved to your account. No card, and no trial that runs out. The free plan shows adverts.
What does Pro add?
All 23 courses — programming, medical, legal, business and the rest — the three- and five-minute speed tests, certificates with a link anyone can verify, the AI analysis of your typing (a keyboard heatmap, accuracy finger by finger, and which keys are costing you), every run kept with 90 days of speed history, courses and tests of your own, and no adverts. $44.99 a year, which works out at $3.75 a month, or $5.99 month by month. $134.97 buys it once and for good.
Can I try Pro first?
Yes. Monthly and annual start with 7 free days. A card is needed to start, nothing is charged during those days, and cancelling before the end costs you nothing. One trial per account.
What if I change my mind after paying?
Annual and lifetime are covered by a 14-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked. Monthly you simply cancel — you keep Pro until the month you have paid for ends.
Does lifetime really mean lifetime?
$134.97 is three years of the annual plan, paid once. After that it never costs anything again — no renewals — and it covers every course and test we add later. The site has been running since 2016, and lifetime means for as long as it runs.
How does buying for a class work?
$3.99 per student per year, from 20 students. Your teacher account, classes, join codes, assignments and reports are free; what you buy is a year of Pro for each student, and students join with your class code. Tell us how many you need and we send an invoice the same working day — school purchases are not self-serve checkout yet.
What is the "AI analysis"?
Every run you finish is broken down against everything you have typed before: which keys you miss most often, how accurate each finger is, a heatmap of the whole keyboard, whether your speed is rising or has plateaued, and where you sit against typical and professional typists. It is your own practice data, analysed on our own servers: no third-party AI service is involved, and nothing you type is used to train anything.
Is it safe for my child?
Child accounts are created by a parent from their own account, are never shown adverts, and have no public profile. A parent sets goals and screen-time limits and can see everything the child does.
Does it work on a tablet?
It runs in any modern browser, and the site can be installed like an app. Touch typing needs a physical keyboard to be worth practising, so a tablet with a keyboard case works well and an on-screen keyboard does not.
I am already paying — does my price change?
No. Existing subscriptions keep the price they started at for as long as they stay active.
