Learn to type faster and more accurately — TypingDesk turns daily practice into a game. TypingDesk is a complete, offline typing tutor for Windows. Whether you're learning the home row for the first time or pushing past 80 WPM, structured lessons, real-time feedback, listen-and-type dictation, and five arcade-style typing games keep you coming back. Everything runs locally on your PC — no account, no ads, no internet required. WHY TYPINGDESK • 100% offline and private — no sign-up, no tracking, no ads. Your stats never leave your device. • Learn by doing — character-by-character feedback with a live WPM and accuracy readout. • Real words from your very first lesson, not endless letter patterns. • Stay motivated — streaks, star ratings, achievements, and high scores reward consistent practice. • Genuinely multilingual — six languages, including Urdu and Arabic with a right-to-left interface. STRUCTURED LESSONS • Tiered path from absolute beginner to advanced: home row → all letters → capitals & punctuation → sentences → full paragraphs. • You type real words from the first lesson. Between the key drills sit word lessons that use only the letters you've been taught so far — "dad sad flask" once you know the home row, then more as each row is added. The words are worked out from your keyboard layout, so you get a different — and correct — progression on QWERTY than on Dvorak. • Lessons are written in your language — real sentences in French, German, Spanish, Urdu and Arabic, not translated English. Number drills even use local date, currency, and decimal formats. • Code lessons for programmers, filterable by language (C#, Python, JavaScript, SQL). • Paste your own text — or load a .txt or .md file — to practice anything you like. • A colour-coded finger-placement guide shows exactly which finger presses each key. URDU AND ARABIC — NO EXTRA KEYBOARD NEEDED • Full languages, not just layouts: the interface, the lessons and the game words are all in Urdu or Arabic, and the app mirrors right-to-left. • Your keystrokes are translated as you type, so an Urdu lesson works on a plain English keyboard — no trip to Windows settings before your first lesson. Already have the matching Windows keyboard installed? What it produces is passed straight through. • Two Urdu layouts: Urdu Phonetic, where you type by sound (a → ا, b → ب, s → س), and the standard Windows Urdu layout at its real key positions. • Arabic uses the standard Arabic 101 layout. • Neither script has capitals, so Shift carries a second letter — آ ں ڑ گ in Urdu, أ إ آ in Arabic. The on-screen keyboard prints it above the base letter, the way a real keycap does. • Urdu and Arabic fonts are built in, so passages look right on any Windows install. FIVE PRACTICE MODES • Timed — race the clock. • Quota — finish a set amount. • Zen — practice with no pressure. • Repeat-until-perfect — loop a passage until you hit the accuracy target. • Dictation — listen and type what you hear. DICTATION: LISTEN AND TYPE • The passage is read aloud one sentence at a time while the letters stay hidden — a listening and spelling workout on top of typing. • Scoring is lenient: capitalisation and punctuation are ignored, so you type just the words. • Replay any sentence with F5, and set playback speed anywhere from 0.5× to 2×. • Uses the text-to-speech voices built into Windows, and picks one matching your language. Extra voices are free to add from Windows Settings. FIVE TYPING GAMES • Letter Rain — clear falling letters before they pile up. • Word Blaster — blast falling words by typing them. • Survival — beat an accelerating per-word timer. • Speed Sprint — race a ghost of your best run. • Typing Duel — race a CPU opponent on Easy, Medium, or Hard. Word games draw from a word list in your own language. TRACK YOUR PROGRESS • WPM trend graph, a per-key error heatmap that highlights your weak spots, day streaks, and a personal-bests board. • Nine achievement badges for speed, accuracy, streaks, sessions, and game milestones. • Set a daily practice goal and watch your progress toward it on the home screen. • Export your full session history to CSV — and import it back on another PC. MADE FOR EVERYONE • Multiple local profiles — each person gets their own stats, progress, and settings. • Light and Dark themes. • Fully translated into English, French, German, Spanish, Urdu, and Arabic — menus, lessons, games, and dictation, not just the interface. • Ten keyboard layouts: QWERTY (US), QWERTY (ES), AZERTY (FR), QWERTZ (DE), Dvorak, Colemak, Workman, Urdu Phonetic, Urdu (Windows), and Arabic (101). • Four keystroke sound themes — Soft, Mechanical, Typewriter, and Marimba — or silence. • Adjustable practice font size, and accessibility support throughout with screen-reader labels on every screen. Sit down, pick a lesson or a game, and watch your speed climb. Type better. Every day.

Listen and type in Dictation mode

What's new in 1.4.0 • Urdu and Arabic, in full — interface, lessons, game words, and a right-to-left layout. • Type either without installing a Windows keyboard: your keystrokes are translated as you go. • Three new keyboard layouts: Urdu Phonetic, Urdu (Windows), and Arabic (101). • Real words from your very first lesson, on every layout. New word lessons use only the letters you've been taught so far, and which words appear is worked out from your own layout. • Sharper text throughout the typing screen. Version 1.3.0 makes TypingDesk properly multilingual. • Lessons are now written in your language — real French, German, and Spanish sentences rather than translated English. Number drills use local date, currency, and decimal formats. • The word games now use words in your language too. • Dictation picks a voice matching your language. Previously it always used an English voice, whichever language you had selected. • New Spanish keyboard layout (QWERTY ES) with ñ on the home row. The French and German layouts gained their accented keys: ù on AZERTY, ü and ä on QWERTZ. • The whole interface is translated now — the games, typing screen, profile picker, finger guide, stats, and About box were all still English whatever language you picked. • The new-profile screen showed language codes like "en" and "fr" instead of proper names. Your stars and unlocked tiers carry across a language change — typing skill transfers.
