TypingMaster review

TypingMaster is the pick for anyone who prefers installed software to a website. TypingMaster 12 runs on Windows and includes a free 1-week touch typing course covering finger placement, speed and accuracy. The paid version unlocks 11 courses, typing tests and practice games, with adaptive lessons that target your weakest keys and a certificate showing speed and accuracy at the end. Pricing is simple and subscription-free: the lifetime Standard license costs $19.90 for one device, and Premium costs $29.90 for up to 3 devices and adds the TypingMeter tool, which finds weak keys and builds tailored courses. Six-month licenses start at $12.90, and every plan carries a 30-day money-back guarantee. There is also an offline school edition with a central user manager. The limits are clear: it is Windows only, the design feels older than the web tools here, and families with Macs or Chromebooks should look elsewhere.

Who it is for

Windows users who want an offline course they pay for once, with no subscription.
