In their own words

TypeLift

TypeLift is browser-based touch typing courseware for practicing keyboard skills and improving typing speed. It offers free lessons, a typing test and statistics for tracking results over time. Lessons are assembled dynamically for each session, and error analysis brings recurring mistakes back into practice. A visual keyboard uses colored keys and markers to guide users toward keys and finger combinations. Registered users can create up to 10 custom lessons. TypeLift Pro adds training objectives, weekly exercise plans, recommended lessons, detailed exercise results and expanded statistics; the maker describes it as free of advertising and distraction. The trial ends after 7 days or 60 minutes of typing practice, whichever comes first. Practice can begin without registration, but Pro purchases must be assigned to a user account. The monthly Pro subscription is $1.99 a month, billed annually; the page says prices are for annual payment and exclude VAT. Other listed options are 11.90 USD for each 3 months, $23.90 a year or 49.90 USD one time for unlimited use.
