Klavaro
Klavaro is a free touch typing tutor built to work with different keyboard layouts and languages. It includes ready-made layouts and an editor for configuring and saving custom ones. Exercises cover basic key positions, adaptability, typing speed, and typing fluidness. Klavaro records exercise performance and can display it in progress charts. For advanced practice, users can bring in text from local files, the clipboard, or drag-and-drop. Its contest module can rank users on a shared computer or send scores to a web server for a public ranking. The site lists translations in dozens of languages, including English, French, Spanish, Arabic, and Chinese. Klavaro is available for Linux, macOS, and Windows, with source code, a Windows installer, and packages listed through operating system repositories and MacPorts. The project is licensed under GNU GPL version 3.0. Support is directed to SourceForge forums, where posting requires an account. The latest manual is available in Portuguese and Esperanto, not English.
