FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers. If your question isn't here, contact us.

Is LearnType really free?+

Yes. The full curriculum, all 13 games, analytics, and multiplayer races are free for individuals. There is no credit card required and no upsell on any feature. See pricing for details.

Avro vs Bijoy — which should I learn?+

Avro is phonetic: type "ami" and you get "আমি". It's faster to pick up and most people on the internet use it. Bijoy is a fixed keyboard layout (like a Bengali typewriter) and is the standard in government offices and publishing. If you don't know yet, start with Avro.

I'm a complete beginner. Where do I start?+

Start with the home-row lessons in your chosen layout. Each lesson is 3–7 minutes. Don't skip ahead — every lesson builds on the previous one and the curriculum is designed to lock in muscle memory before adding complexity.

How long until I'm fast?+

Most people reach 30 WPM in two weeks at 15 minutes per day. 50 WPM in six weeks. Above 60 WPM is a multi-month commitment and depends almost entirely on consistency, not talent.

Why does my speed drop in real-world typing?+

Because real-world text has punctuation, capital letters, numbers and unfamiliar words — and your fingers haven't drilled those yet. Use Smart Practice (passages, code, stories) instead of just lesson drills.

Does LearnType work on mobile?+

Yes for reading and managing progress. For actual typing practice you'll want a physical keyboard — touch screens have very different ergonomics and don't build the same muscle memory.

Can I use it offline?+

Lessons can be cached for offline practice once they're loaded, but progress sync, multiplayer races and analytics require an internet connection.

Do you store my keystrokes?+

We store aggregate stats per session (WPM, accuracy, error counts, finger usage) tied to your account. We do NOT store the raw keystroke stream. See privacy for the full data list.
