How do I improve my typing speed?
Improve speed by fixing accuracy and rhythm first, then adding short timed bursts on Typetap.io.

Accuracy before raw speed
Chasing WPM while mistyping every third word trains bad habits. Aim for about 96%+ accuracy, then nudge speed upward.
Slow down until your fingers know the keys. Speed returns naturally when corrections drop.
Train on Typetap.io
Use Typetap’s how-to-type-faster guide for technique, then practice with timed tests and home-row or accuracy drills.
Pro members can open weak-key drills from the Dashboard when letter-level data shows specific problem keys.
Habits that compound
Practice daily in short blocks. Keep wrists neutral. Look at the screen, not the keyboard, once home row feels stable.
Retest every few days on the same 60-second mode so your Typetap scores are comparable over time.
