About this release
TypingMaster teaches touch typing the methodical way, starting from the home row and building outward through structured lessons that add a few keys at a time, so a hunt and peck typist ends up typing without looking. Each lesson drills the new keys, mixes them with what came before, and measures speed and accuracy so progress is a number that goes up rather than a vague sense of getting better.
The part that sets it apart is the analysis widget that watches how you type in your ordinary programs. As you work in a word processor or an email, it quietly tracks which keys and combinations slow you down or trip you up, then builds targeted exercises around exactly those weak spots. Instead of drilling keys you already own, you drill the ones costing you time, which is a far faster route to real world speed.
Around the lessons sit typing games that make the practice less of a chore and typing tests that give you a clean speed and accuracy score to track over weeks. It runs offline, installs small, and suits a single learner, a family machine or a classroom. This build is prepared to set up in an activated state with the full course unlocked.

What people are saying
Went from hunt and peck to actual touch typing in a few weeks. The analysis drilling my worst keys was the trick.
Set up profiles for a room of students. Runs offline, tracks each one, does exactly what a typing class needs.
Watching the words per minute climb kept me practising. Left the widget on and it fixed my number row.
