About

Hello, I'm Captain Ratatype and I want to tell you about my typing tutor. Ratatype is a simple and convenient online typing tutor for everybody who wants to type better.

I know, that you have to type a lot: at home, at school, at work, and it takes the time that you can devote to other activities. With Ratatype you can free up to 20 minutes a day because it will teach you to type much faster and the "blind ten-finger typing method" will no longer be just a phrase from a textbook.

So, why Ratatype is the best typing tutor?

• My courses are absolutely free for all users in any language.
• A simple and intuitive interface doesn't distract you from studying the layout.
• You can easily get your typing certificate online, you just need to register and check your speed by passing the typing test.
• You won’t get bored during the keyboarding tests and lessons — it’s a real game! You just need to turn on the game mode on the tutor page and the lessons will cease to be boring :)
• Key stuck? Something's not working on your keyboard — Ratatype Keyboard Checker will help you find any broken keys.
• You can also compete in groups with friends. It's always more fun when we stay together!
• Do you learn a new language? No problem! I have a lot of typing courses in different languages. You can practice language and learn to type at the same time.
