Talking Typer

Talking Typer finally makes its debut on iOS, bringing an accessible typing and computer keyboard tutorial app to users. This app aims to assist students in enhancing their typing skills in a user-friendly environment.

Talking Typer provides 35 built-in lessons ranging from levels 1 to 10, catering to the learning needs of students. Moreover, teachers and parents have the flexibility to create, edit, and assign lessons according to individual students or groups. The app allows customization of speed, accuracy, and typing levels for personalized learning experiences, with progress tracking available for monitoring improvement.

In addition to the instructional lessons, Talking Typer features the engaging Hurry Scurry game, where players can earn points by typing letters swiftly before the ball drops. This interactive element caters to users of all ages and proficiency levels.

Notably, the app is self-voicing and compatible with Apple's VoiceOver feature, ensuring accessibility for individuals with visual impairments. While the onboard keyboard of iOS devices is functional with Talking Typer, an external keyboard is recommended for optimal usability. Moreover, the app supports the use of refreshable braille displays such as APH’s Refreshabraille 18TM Bluetooth®-enabled device, enabling deafblind students to engage effectively.

Talking Typer is a valuable tool for students of all ages seeking to improve their typing skills in an inclusive learning environment.
