TypingFirst is a browser-based touch-typing practice platform for beginners and serious learners alike, including students, professionals, and educators. It teaches proper finger placement and builds speed and accuracy through a structured curriculum rather than one-off speed tests. The platform is organized around a deliberate learning path: it starts with single-key touch-typing drills to teach where the keys are, moves into n-gram practice that trains common letter patterns and frequent transitions, then progresses to common words and full paragraph typing for real-world passages. Lessons mix newly introduced keys with previously learned ones, and each lesson ends with accuracy and speed analysis plus visual analytics that highlight weak keys and track WPM growth over time. Gamified milestones and a distraction-free interface keep practice focused. It offers instant browser access with a free tier covering the basics, while premium unlocks the common-patterns practice and advanced analytics. An account is optional but enables progress tracking across sessions; the platform notes you can start completely for free before upgrading. It's web-based, so there's no install. What distinguishes TypingFirst from a plain typing test is the n-gram approach: instead of treating every word as separate letters, it drills the recurring letter combinations that make up fluent typing, paired with per-lesson analytics so learners can target specific weak spots rather than just repeating generic text.
