Master touch typing with free lessons & games

AgileFingers is a free, all-in-one typing tutor that helps you learn the 10-finger typing method and make typing something automatic. You practice with interactive lessons, real texts, and simple games that train accuracy first - speed comes naturally after.

You can start from zero or improve an existing typing style. Students, office workers, and developers use AgileFingers to type faster, make fewer mistakes, and stay focused on what they want to say - not on where the keys are. If you want to jump straight in, choose a typing exercise and begin.

The most effective way to practice touch typing online

AgileFingers is built around a simple idea: short, regular practice works better than long, exhausting sessions. Everything you need for daily practice is right there in the top menu:

• Set a clear typing speed goal so you always know what you are aiming for.
• Practice in the way that fits your mood:
  • Typing lessons to learn key-by-key finger placement and build muscle memory.
  • Full-text practice to improve rhythm, flow, and accuracy with real sentences.
  • Typing games for lighter sessions that help you stay consistent.
• Use the typing test to check progress and adjust your goal.

One important rule: accuracy comes first. When your fingers know where to go without thinking, speed increases on its own. AgileFingers does not force a strict order - switch between lessons, texts, and games to keep practice enjoyable.

Learning should feel sustainable. If a lesson feels heavy, try a game. If your goal feels stressful, lower it. Small daily progress works better than rare, intense sessions.

People use AgileFingers for different reasons. Some want to type faster at school. Others write emails all day, work in Google Docs, collaborate in Slack, or write code. The goal is the same: type without looking at the keyboard and stay focused on your work.

AgileFingers for schools and teachers

AgileFingers includes a dedicated Teacher Zone for schools. Teachers can create virtual classes, assign exercises, and track student progress in real time. Accuracy reports and clear statistics make it easy to see who needs help and who is improving steadily. Learn more about the school typing module.

Keyboard layouts: QWERTY, Dvorak, AZERTY, and more

The most common layout is QWERTY, but AgileFingers also supports layouts like Dvorak and AZERTY. You can practice on the layout that matches your real keyboard, without adapting exercises manually.

For programmers: typing code is different from typing normal text. Symbols like { }, &, $, and + appear constantly. AgileFingers includes exercises that help you type special characters smoothly, so your attention stays on logic instead of key hunting.

Why learning touch typing actually matters

When typing becomes automatic, you stop thinking about the keyboard and focus on your ideas. This saves time, reduces errors, and makes work feel smoother - especially during long writing or coding sessions.

A personal note from the main developer of AgileFingers: Before studying computer science, I learned the 10-finger method and quickly realized how much time it saves every single day. Typing stopped slowing my thinking down. I built AgileFingers to make that experience accessible online - especially for people starting from scratch - in a way that is simple, engaging, and realistic even if you don't have hours to practice.

Good typing habits also affect your body. When you stop looking down at the keyboard, your neck stays neutral and your shoulders relax. Over long workdays, this makes a real difference. You can read more in our article about why learning touch typing matters.

Typing faster for AI, messaging, and daily work

In 2026, how fast you type often sets the pace for how quickly you can think on screen. Whether you are chatting with an AI assistant, answering messages, or collaborating online, fluent typing removes friction between your thoughts and the screen. Learn how typing affects AI interaction.
