8 Useful Typing Practice Apps to Master Your Keyboard Skills
The kids are on summer vacation and getting restless at home. I figured I'd have them practice typing—they can learn while having fun, and I can have some peace of mind.
There are several useful typing apps on Lazycat, so let’s take a look at them today:

This app is the simplest with a clean interface.
After typing a word, press the spacebar to move to the next one. A countdown timer is displayed at the top. When the timer ends, your typing speed is shown.
WPM stands for Words Per Minute, commonly used to measure typing speed.

This one focuses more on Chinese typing practice. Just select the box below and start typing.
A great feature is that the text can be customized. You can input your favorite articles or textbook passages, allowing you to reinforce knowledge while practicing typing.

This app has a clean interface and allows background music playback, though the songs are mostly samples.
The summary report after typing is well done.

Monkeytype has a very smooth interface. The basic typing functionality works fine, but features like rankings and summaries are not integrated and may cause errors when clicked.

This app focuses mainly on English practice. You set the typing duration at the beginning.
A keyboard layout is displayed at the bottom, which is beginner-friendly, though the entire screen may not fit all content.
A notification appears when typing is completed.

This one is also very simple to use—just click start and begin typing.
https://appstore.lazycat.cloud/#/shop/detail/xyz.mxue.typing-word
This one is highly recommended. It focuses on words, includes English pronunciation and keyboard sound effects, and lets you learn words while typing.
It comes with many built-in word lists and also supports custom imports.
If you type a word incorrectly, it automatically adds it to a mistake notebook.

This is also my top recommendation. It’s feature-rich and user-friendly. Functionally similar to the previous app, but with a more polished interface.
You can also switch dictionaries. Typing here gives a satisfying feeling, like solving problems—it’s really enjoyable to use.
So, with so many typing apps to choose from, there’s bound to be one that suits you!
