Klavaro vs Touch Typer

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.

Touch Typer is a desktop typing tutor for practicing typing and tracking progress on Linux, macOS, and Windows. Its free plan includes typing tests, statistics, streaks, multiple layouts, and real-time duels. Duels last 60 seconds and show words per minute, accuracy, and errors; friends can join through a shareable link without an account. Analytics track WPM and accuracy over time, per-key heatmaps, goals, and milestones, synced across devices. Users can practice with QWERTY, Dvorak, or Colemak, and drills adapt to the selected layout. Code Mode includes TypeScript, Python, Rust, Go, and 40+ other languages, with syntax highlighting and indentation. Premium's AI Coach uses the last 30 days of practice to create drills for weak keys and explain stalled progress. The free plan can be used without an account. Premium is $2.99 a month, or $2.39/mo billed yearly, and includes a seven-day trial. The privacy policy says the service stores account and typing data, among other information, and provides account deletion and data export by email.
