Improve Your Typing with TypeRacer
In this age of technology, computers are an integral part of our lives, and typing is a basic skill that we all need to learn and improve. TypeRacer is a game that helps you improve your typing skills. It puts you up against other typers in a race. But instead of maneuvering a car or an avatar across a track or maze, you will need to type words to get your car from point A to point B. Not only do you get to practice typing fast and accurately, but you will learn while playing a fun racing game.
If you're looking for a solo typing game experience, then check out Shinn. Instead of racing cars, you will need to type quickly and accurately to run away from enemies.
Type to Win and Improve
TypeRacer allows people to race each other by typing quotes from movies, books, and songs. You can join races against random people or your friends in competitions online, or you can send an invite to your friends. At the start of the game, you will see a racetrack with little cars positioned on the left side of the dotted lines. The goal of the game is to send your car from the left side of the track to the other end by typing the words provided below the racetrack.
Your car will advance as you type a word, and you need to type the texts word by word, symbol by symbol. The distance that your car will travel depends on the length of the total text and the length of each word. TypeRacer is very strict with how you type the word. Your car won’t move unless you type the words correctly.
As a multiplayer game, TypeRacer will be put up against random players of equal skills, and your goal is to beat them by typing faster and with little to no errors. As the app is a stickler for errors, the game will require you to go back to the words you mistyped to progress. You will not only improve your typing speed but also your accuracy. Moreover, by playing the game more, you will also become familiarized with the keyboard. It is like going back to your basic typing class but with an added thrill.
What’s the Score?
There are two ways in which you can play in TypeRacer. If you are only aiming to practice your typing, you can play as a guest. In this mode, you can play random races with random players. The app won’t save any of your scores, and there will be no records of any of your races. But if you want to keep track of your progress, you can set up an account and play as a registered user.
When you play as a registered player, the app will give you the statistics of your race every time. These statistics are simple yet very informative. It shows you the average speed of all your races, your best race, the number of races you’ve completed, and the number of races you’ve won. You can also see your rank and your words-per-minute percentile. With this, you can see your growth as you continue to play.
Type Away
All things considered, TypeRacer is a good educational game to practice your typing skills. Although it does not teach typing per se, this typing game is easy to play and offers an engaging and dynamic gaming experience. And with a 50-word per-minute improvement rate, it can help improve the way you type.
