About TypingDuck

Practice with a purpose

A short session is most useful when you know what you are working on. Choose a difficult letter, a group of punctuation marks, or a number format. Use the feedback to notice recurring mistakes, then repeat at a pace where you can correct the movement. The guides below each tool explain its controls and give concrete examples.

• Standard Typing — Practice English words, focus on individual starting letters, and learn how to interpret your typing speed and accuracy.
• Guided Typing — Learn the keyboard through 15 stages, with finger-placement guidance and practice that returns to your weaker letters.
• Programming — Practice typing JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, and Java, with original examples and guidance on punctuation and indentation.
• Ten-Key — Build numeric-keypad accuracy with number, decimal, currency, date, and arithmetic drills and a practical entry routine.
• Finance — Practice spreadsheet formulas and cell references, with worked examples explaining parentheses, ranges, and absolute references.

Understand your results

Raw WPM uses a standard five-character word unit. Accuracy counts correct keystrokes against all recorded keystrokes, including mistakes that you later correct. Guided Typing also uses letter-level accuracy and timing to decide when to introduce the next group. These are practice measures, not certifications, recruitment assessments, or guarantees of improvement.

Programming snippets and spreadsheet formulas are typing targets. TypingDuck does not execute code or calculate spreadsheets. We explain each mode’s behavior in its guide so you can choose exercises that fit your goal.

Accounts and privacy

Guest practice is available immediately. A free account can save your last five sessions and synchronize guided progress. Pro provides additional history and practice features with an ad-free experience. The pricing page shows current availability; features are not unlocked by viewing or clicking advertisements.

Optional analytics and advertising are controlled through Privacy choices. Advertising, when available, is labeled and kept separate from practice controls. We do not send your practice text to product analytics or record session replays. See the privacy policy for how account data and third-party services are handled.
