The ultimate objective is to take a basic user from ten words per minute up to 60 and beyond. Based around a set of lessons with increasing difficulty, the free software has a simple layout perfect for regular practice. Each of the 35 plus lessons have a different objective, some based around speed or accuracy while others focus on the use of individual fingers. Users are scored based on a star system which is recorded over time to show improvement and future goals. TypingClub also features a school focused portal, perfect for managing a large number of individual students during lessons. The free software is a basic but effective way of improving both typing speed and accuracy. While there are a few issues with individual mistakes carrying across the entire lesson and a general lack of advanced tools, the software is a useful tool which effectively helps users.
