Every letter has its own path
From the home row, there and back — touch-typing is made of these movements. FlowTyping shows them again and again, until your hands learn them.

Where this comes from
Many trainers highlight the key — so you end up matching letters against the screen. But touch-typing lives in automatic movement, and the first step toward it is to stop peeking, even at an on-screen keyboard. FlowTyping shows not the keyboard but the movement that produces the result: the brain has to build new rules for typing, and the automatism comes sooner.
That is how it was done in the 1970s. In typing courses, the learner spoke every keystroke out loud — “right hand, index finger, up” — and only then pressed. The unfolded command gradually collapsed into an automatic one, and speed came on its own.
Nobody will talk to their keyboard at work. So the trainer gives the same command to the eyes: it draws the finger's path on screen.
How a session works
-
The finger's path on screen
You see where a finger starts and where it returns. What you memorize is the movement itself.
-
Back home every time
Every keystroke ends on the home row, so your hands know where they are without a glance down.
-
An even rhythm
A quiet rhythm channel runs under the line and shows whether you are holding your pace. Even intervals mean the movement has become automatic.
-
Mistakes get fixed on the spot
The cursor waits for the symbol it needs. The method treats this as essential: a wrong movement is memorized as readily as a right one, so it is kept from happening. There are no penalties and no error limits.
What you will be typing
You type real words and phrases. The material is split into steps, and each step uses only the letters already open to you.
The course leads the way
You will not pick a level or a letter order. Everyone starts the same way, with the index fingers and the space bar. The next group of keys opens once the previous ones come on the first try and without hesitation. Layout, finger placement, theme and session length sit in settings if you want to change them.
If you already type
Relearning costs you speed for a while. Any change of a motor habit works that way, and the method is built around the dip. You go through it once.
Honestly
The trainer stays out of your way while you type. There are no rewards or streaks in it: they would get in the way of the rhythm.
This version is early and I build it alone. Whether showing the movement teaches faster than the usual trainers, I do not know yet: that is what I am checking. If something breaks or feels silly, write to me: that is what it is open for.
Questions
Do I need a physical keyboard?
Yes. The trainer builds finger movements, and an on-screen keyboard on a phone or tablet has no such movements to build.
Do I need an account?
No, practice starts right away. An account matters later — it keeps your progress and session history across devices.
How long does it take to learn?
The first weeks go into getting your hands to stop hunting for keys; confident speed takes months. Practice should be short, though: a few minutes every day beat an hour once a week.
Will it work if I already type my own way?
Yes, but your speed will drop for a while: the old motor habit interferes with the new one. The dip is limited in time and crossed once.
Can I learn both QWERTY and ЙЦУКЕН?
Both, but one at a time: until a movement is consolidated, the second layout interferes with it. Progress is tracked per layout.
How long is one session?
From one minute to fifteen — the length is a setting. A minute is enough to keep the day from being a blank.
What does it cost?
Nothing. The trainer is free and carries no ads.
