What’s wrong with today’s typing trainers?

Most typing sites are built to test you, not to fix you. Community forums repeat the same four complaints: plateaus nobody diagnoses, tools that never teach, drills that don’t transfer to real writing or code, and layout learners abandoned once a fixed curriculum runs out.Plateaus with no way out“Stuck at the same speed for months.

Is there a course, or just drills?

There is a course. Most typing sites hand you a test and leave you to work out what to do with the result, which is the single most common complaint about the category. Polytaipe teaches the part the test cannot: what the numbers mean, which habit is capping you, and what to practise next.

Which keyboard layouts does Polytaipe support?

Polytaipe ships in-browser emulation for every layout below, mapped by physical key so you can practice Colemak, Dvorak, or AZERTY without touching your OS settings. Correctness matters here.

What does the research say about typing faster?

Polytaipe’s defaults aren’t arbitrary. Every core mechanic maps to a peer-reviewed or large-sample study: accuracy-first practice compounds into faster gains, top typists lean on keyboard rollover, average speed is a known baseline, and short daily sessions beat marathon ones.

Why does Polytaipe look deliberately plain?

Polytaipe ships one tuned look, ink and paper plus a single functional hue, because how a practice line is presented measurably affects how quickly you perceive its letters. Stray color competes for attention, clutter increases crowding, and inconsistent fonts slow letter recognition. We chose plain on purpose.
