Why learn to type fast
It’s a question like, “Why learn to write?” Now that so much of our lives happens in the digital space, typing has essentially replaced handwriting. We type at school, at university, at work; we write messages and letters to friends. There’s no getting around typing anymore.
Being able to type fast will make your life easier, save you time, and help you stand out among job candidates.
Once you learn to type fast, you can earn a typing speed certificate with great results and add it to your resume or attach it to your LinkedIn profile.
Plus, you’ll be able to impress your friends and colleagues with this skill, since fast typing looks like real magic from the outside.
So don’t waste any time! Sign up and start mastering fast typing with Captain Ratatype and his helpers. There’s plenty of fun ahead. Get your fingers ready, stretch your wrists, and let’s go.
Start learningHow the keyboard trainer helps you learn to type fast
At Ratatype, we’ve studied everything there is to know about fast typing and put that knowledge into our touch typing courses.
Muscle memory
Our keyboard trainer is built on how muscle memory works. We know exactly how many times you need to press specific keys for your fingers to memorize their position and hit them at the right moment on their own. That’s the whole secret!
Fast typing as a game
While training on the Ratatype keyboard trainer, you’ll earn rewards, collect Ratacoins, and buy new heroes you can use instead of a regular cursor.
And most importantly, to train on the Ratatype keyboard trainer, you need to register on the site. This lets us save your lesson history, your progress, your typing speed test results, and keep your “Typing Marathon” going.
What results to expect from training on Ratatype
According to our data, users who train on the trainer regularly increase their speed by 15%. But that’s individual, and it all depends on how regularly you practice and whether you’re using all ten fingers correctly.
If you do everything right, the results can be even better. We recommend taking a typing speed test before you start training and after completing the course, so you can assess your skill level at the start and track your progress.
It would also be great to not just train on the trainer, but also practice typing accuracy in our keyboard games Ratarace and Ratashooter. We created them not just for fun (although they’re seriously addictive), but for real practice too — since winning depends not only on your speed, but also on your typing accuracy. Now you know how to learn to type fast, so let’s get started!
