What TypeLift is
TypeLift is browser-based touch typing courseware for practicing keyboard skills and improving typing speed. It offers free lessons, a typing test, and statistics for tracking results over time. Lessons are assembled dynamically for each practice session, and error analysis brings recurring mistakes back into practice. A visual keyboard uses colored keys and markers to guide users toward keys and finger combinations. Registered users can create up to 10 custom lessons. TypeLift Pro adds training objectives, weekly exercise plans, recommended lessons, detailed exercise results, and expanded statistics; it is described as free of advertising and distraction. The Pro trial ends after 7 days or 60 minutes of typing practice, whichever comes first. You can start practicing without registration, but a Pro purchase must be assigned to a user account. TypeLift runs on the web. Its monthly Pro subscription is $1.99 a month, billed annually; the page says prices are for annual payment and exclude VAT. Other listed options are 11.90 USD for each 3 months, $23.90 a year, or 49.90 USD one time for unlimited use.
