TIPP10
TIPP10 is a free ten-finger typing tutor for browser and desktop use. Its 20 sequential practice lessons introduce keyboard characters over time and repeat letters a learner mistypes more often. Progress tools include printable lesson reports, speed and error statistics, lesson history, and a trend diagram. Learners can create lessons, use open material on subjects such as programming or legal texts, or load their own texts for dictation. English and German interfaces and lessons are listed, along with QWERTY, German, Swiss, Neo, Dvorak, and RISTOME keyboard layouts. The maker describes the tutor as suitable for beginners and children. The downloadable desktop version is no longer maintained, and the maker recommends the online version. Its listed macOS download supports versions 10.3 through 10.14 and does not work from macOS 10.15 Catalina onward. The downloadable software is under the GNU General Public License. The maker says it has no advertising or tracking; the online privacy policy describes cookies and anonymized usage data. Support options include documentation, FAQs, bug reports, suggestions, and a contact form.
