In their own words
Typesy
Typesy is a keyboarding and workplace training program for individuals, homeschool families, schools, and business teams. Alongside typing, it covers computer skills and workplace productivity through video instruction, structured exercises, games, progress tracking, and typing goals. Typesy says it adjusts lessons to a learner’s skill level and goals as progress changes. Individual subscriptions include a typing certificate and an employer verification service. Schools can provision and organize student accounts through Google Classroom, Clever, Classlink, or Canvas, or import students from CSV. The platform is available on Android, iOS, macOS, web, and Windows. Pricing starts at $6/mo (annual), with a 7-day trial and no free plan. The downloads are intended for existing Typesy users, and the Android and iPad apps require a physical keyboard. Homeschool plans specify parent-teacher and student account counts, while Typesy for Teams requires at least 5 users. The maker’s privacy policy says client information is not used for targeted ads or advertising profiles.
