Why bother learning to type quickly
It’s a bit like asking, “Why bother learning to write?” These days, with so much of our lives lived online, typing has more or less taken over from handwriting. We type at school, at uni, at work; we send friends messages and letters. There’s simply no avoiding it any more.
Learning to type quickly will make life easier for you, save you time, and help you stand out from other job applicants.
Once you’ve mastered fast typing, you’ll be able to earn a typing speed certificate with impressive results and add it to your CV or your LinkedIn profile.
You’ll also be able to impress your mates and colleagues with this skill, since fast typing can look like proper magic to anyone watching.
So don’t hang about! Sign up and start getting to grips with fast typing alongside Captain Ratatype and his crew. There’s plenty in store. Get your fingers ready, loosen up your wrists, and off you go.
Start learningHow the keyboard tutor helps you learn to type quickly
Here at Ratatype, we’ve studied everything there is to know about fast typing and packed that knowledge into our touch-typing courses.
Muscle memory
Our keyboard tutor relies on how muscle memory actually works. We know precisely how many times you need to press certain keys before your fingers learn their position by heart and hit them automatically at just the right moment. That’s the whole trick!
Fast typing turned into a game
While training on the Ratatype keyboard tutor, you can pick up rewards, build up your Ratacoins, and buy new heroes to use instead of a standard cursor.
And crucially, to train on the Ratatype keyboard tutor, you’ll need to register on the site. This way, we can keep a record of your lesson history, your progress, your typing speed test results, and keep your “Typing Marathon” running.
What results you can expect from training with Ratatype
Our figures show that users who train on the tutor regularly boost their speed by 15%. That said, it’s down to the individual, and it all depends on how often you practise and whether you’re properly using all ten fingers.
Get everything right, and the results can be even better. We’d recommend taking a typing speed test before you begin training and again once you’ve finished the course, so you can gauge your level at the start and keep an eye on your progress.
It would also be brilliant not just to train on the tutor, but to practise your typing accuracy on our keyboard games Ratarace and Ratashooter. We didn’t just create them for fun (although they’re seriously addictive) — they’re great for proper practice too, since winning relies not just on speed, but on how accurately you type. Now you know how to learn to type quickly, so off you go and get started!
