Easy to use and for free
TIPP10 is a free 10-finger touch typing tutor. You can use TIPP10 directly in your browser or you can download the software version for Windows, Mac OS and Linux. TIPP10 is easy to use and features a clear user interface. Beginners and even children will find their way around right away so they can start practicing without a hitch. You will be able to learn touch typing quickly and efficiently with the program’s intelligent practice lessons, useful support functions and an extensive progress tracker. You can also play a typing game and expand the program with open lessons or make your own to meet your specific needs.
Intelligent text selection
The lesson texts react instantly to your typing mistakes by repeating mistyped letters more frequently. The system helps you eliminate typing mistakes and learn touch typing efficiently. A wide range of dictations ensures you’ll never get bored. You will become acquainted with all the keys on the keyboard in 20 sequential practice lessons. Commonly used characters are practiced earlier and more frequently than those that appear less frequently.
Ticker and virtual assistance keyboard
You can change the font, speed and color of the text in the ticker to ensure a steady typing flow. Keys and key paths appearing in color on a virtual keyboard help you to use the right fingers and keep the right starting position. A status bar displays the fingers that should be used and tallies errors and characters per minute.
Detailed results
After each typing lesson you will receive a printable comprehensive report that evaluates the lesson. A list of all completed lessons including details about duration, number of errors, characters per minute and an evaluation provide you with an overview of the work you have done. A lesson trend diagram shows your progress and allows you to easily compare your results. TIPP10 also shows you your error rate for all the characters and fingers used in the typing lessons. This way you can see right away which keys and which fingers you still need to work on.
Open lessons and using your own texts
You can use open lessons or create your own once you’ve got the hang of touch typing and seek to improve your error rate or speed. There are open lessons with dictations for specialized topics so that you can familiarize yourself with particular styles such as programming or legal texts. You can also load your own texts into TIPP10 and have them dictated to you.
Extensive customization
You can choose how the lesson will run. You can set the duration of the lesson, how the typing tutor reacts to typing mistakes and which visual aids will support you during the lesson. In general settings you can also personalize the software even more. Here, for example, you can select a different speed for the ticker or a larger typeface.
Platform independent and multilingual
You can run the online version of TIPP10 directly over the internet in your browser without installation. The software version of TIPP10 you can download for Windows, Mac OS X and various versions of Linux.
TIPP10 is currently available in English and German and you can select various keyboard layouts. In addition to the QWERTY keyboard layout, you can also activate keyboards for Germany, for Switzerland or the alternative Neo, Dvorak and RISTOME keyboards. The user interface language and the language of the lesson as well as the keyboard layout can all be set separately.

- (2013-05-07) Benjamin: After "type fu" effectively stopped it's support for chrome I tested a wide range of learning applications for touch typing. TIPP10's was by far the best. It supports Quertz/Querty/NEO 2, English/German, and a wide range of features. They're also constantly working to improve this appliaction and there's an open board for "suggestions for improvements." Inquiries are answered very fast. O and it's completely free of charge, though one should consider donating a penny or two. :D Love it!
