A free typing school for Bangla and English

Why we built it

Most typing tutors on the internet were built for English by people who type in English. The Bangla typing world is fragmented across two competing layouts (Avro Phonetic and Bijoy) and most learners are taught with photocopied curricula from the early 2000s. We wanted a single modern home that teaches both layouts well, plus English touch typing, with the same quality bar.

How it's funded

LearnType is free for individuals and runs on a tiny budget — currently a single small cloud server. The team is funded through unrelated consulting work. We have no ads, no upsells, and we don't sell user data. A paid team plan for schools and offices is on the roadmap; nothing in the free plan goes away when that ships.

What we believe about learning

• Short and frequent beats long and rare. Fifteen minutes a day for two weeks beats two hours on Saturday.
• Drill the keys you're slow on, not random text. Every Smart Practice session is generated from your error patterns.
• Games are not gimmicks. Typing under pressure builds different muscle memory than steady drill. We have 13 games for a reason.
• Measurement is feedback. If you can't see your error rate per finger, you can't fix it.

Team
