A friend once told me that the single best way to learn how to type was to practice on Instant Messenger. I’ll be damned if my horrible “hunt and peck” style hasn’t turned into a respectable 25-30 words per minute because of my inline chatting. The problem is that my speed probably won’t get much higher than that without professional help.
That’s when I cam across CueType, a Mac OS X application that bills itself as a “keyboarding driller featuring innovative typing cues.”
CueType is a no-nonsense driller to help improve keyboarding speed and accuracy. Choose a drill, start the timer, and CueType will compute your words-per-minute and count your errors.
CueType is available for US$10 and sure beats those typewriters in high school with no letters on the keys.
