Ratatype is a free online trainer for teaching the ten-finger touch typing method. The platform positions itself as a tool that allows users not only to learn, but also to practice in real time, passing speed tests and receiving official certificates for completing courses. The project is aimed at those who want to develop their keyboard input skills, whether they are beginners or experienced users who want to improve their work efficiency.
The site offers a comprehensive approach to learning: from basic lessons to game modes. Here you can find materials for teachers who use the platform to organize classes with students. All functionality is available without payment, which makes the resource accessible to a wide audience.
The project is divided into several key blocks, each of which solves a specific user problem:
The training system is designed in such a way that you cannot skip exercises - you must go through all the stages to form muscle memory. In this case, the user can return to completed lessons to improve results through the settings or the Education Results section.
The interface takes into account the nuances of working with the keyboard.For example, the tips section explains why using Caps Lock is not recommended: it slows down typing by requiring double taps and makes text harder to read. Instead, it is suggested to use the Shift key, which is pressed by the little finger of the opposite hand.
The exercises provide a reward system. A star is given for completing a task, a target is given for making no mistakes, and a lightning bolt is given for high speed. These criteria help the user track progress in various aspects of typing.
A separate block is provided for teachers. Teachers can connect classes, sync student data, and manage learning for free. There is also the possibility of integration with Google Classroom.
Using Caps Lock is considered a bad practice, as it slows down the work: you need to press the key twice (on and off). It is better to use the Shift key, which is pressed with one movement of the little finger of the opposite hand.
No, you cannot skip it. To develop muscle memory and teach all ten fingers the correct position, you need to go through all the lessons sequentially.
A star means completion of an exercise, a target means completion without errors, and a lightning bolt means good typing speed. Speed criteria may vary from job to job.
You cannot completely clear the history in the interface. You can retake the lessons you need through the settings or results section. If a permanent reset is required, you can write to the support email.
Ratatype supports training for English (QWERTY, AZERTY, Dvorak), Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil), German (QWERTZ), French (AZERTY), Ukrainian (YTSUKEN) and Italian (QWERTY) layouts.
The certificate is available at the end of the last exercise and in the Course Certificates section. It can be downloaded to your device or printed.
