Keypunch lets you practice typing.
Thanks to fast-paced sessions with instant feedback afterwards and a plethora of available languages, you might even have a little fun doing so. With determination, proper technique and some time, you will experience a noticeable increase in both the speed and the accuracy of which your thoughts and ideas are put into words on the screen.
If you’re already proficient at typing, Keypunch still has something for you. Try practicing with numbers and punctuation, or choose your own text to type out as fast as you can.
This is free and open source software.
