A guided typing lesson in the Stories track, built as 12 steps. Practise at your own pace with live accuracy and speed feedback.
The Stories track saves your progress, accuracy and weak-key stats across sessions, so it needs a free account.

Everything up to this point has been a drill. This lesson is a story, told in parts, and the difference matters more than it might appear.
Drills are short, repetitive and predictable. Real typing is none of those things. A story gives you:
Fluent typists read one to two words ahead of what their fingers are typing, the way a musician's eyes run ahead of their hands. It feels impossible at first and becomes natural with practice.
Try to let your eyes drift slightly forward of the cursor rather than locking onto the character being typed. If that causes errors, you have gone too far ahead — pull back to a single word and extend gradually.
Accuracy typically holds for the first minute and then degrades. That drop is not concentration failing; it is usually posture collapsing — shoulders rising, wrists dropping to the desk, fingers leaving home position.
When you notice errors clustering partway through, stop and check your posture rather than your fingers. Reset, and continue.
Do not treat this as a speed test. The goal is a steady, sustainable rhythm held for the whole passage, with accuracy above 95% at the end as well as the beginning. Typing the last paragraph as cleanly as the first is a harder and more useful achievement than a fast opening burst.
If you lose your place, do not panic-scan the passage. Stop, find the word, and restart the rhythm deliberately. Recovering cleanly from an interruption is itself a skill worth practising.
