TypingWeb, an online typing test & typing tutor can teach you how to type fast and accurately. The free typing lessons are now Safari-compatible, both for Mac and for iPhone/iPod touch, and can improve typing skills in schools and organizations.

Admit it: whenever you're not so good with
your fingers the first thing that comes into mind is to blame the computer for being too slow, or certain programs not offering a user-friendly interface. Whether that's true or not, TypingWeb can surely lend a helping five extra fingers (to say the least), featuring lessons for account creation, progress tracking, and group management.

While no advertising is displayed, TypingWeb offers an array of products to meet your touch typing educational needs, being supported by "all major operating systems and browsers," Safari too, most recently. It doesn't require platform-specific add-ons such as ActiveX or Java, according to typingweb.com.

Many can guess how the desktop version of TypingWeb works (if not, click here and find out) but TypingWeb for the iPhone & iPod Touch is a bit different and twice as helpful since typing on the iPhone/iPod touch is a bit of a PITA for quite a number of users. "Using this intuitive typing tutor WebApp, you will quickly increase your touch screen speed and accuracy," typingweb.com confirms.

You will be taking Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced lessons. All typing tests will slowly increase your touch screen typing speed with "minimal effort." Users increase their touch screen typing speed on their free time, on the go, and can track their progress whenever they want, all for free. The first thing you will need to do, as an iPhone/iPod touch owner, is visit this website (on your device, through Safari). Create an account to track and graph your progress and you're ready to start your lessons.
