Fun To Use Typing Program

Features & Capabilities

Talking Typer finally makes its way to iOS. Help students make typing progress with this fun-to-use self-voicing app!

Talking Typer An accessible typing and computer keyboard tutorial app with a keyboard game to help increase speed and accuracy in a fun environment! Learn to type or improve your skills with drills, practice lessons, keyboard explorer, and an entertaining game. It is designed for blind and visually impaired students, but can be used by sighted students too. This makes it a great tool for the whole class.

35 Built-in Lessons Talking TyperTM for iOS devices comes with 35 built-in lessons at levels 1-10. Teachers and parents can create new lessons, edit lessons, and assign lessons to individual students or groups. Speed, accuracy, and typing level can also be set for individual students or groups. The app saves the results of each drill allowing students, teachers, and parents to monitor improvement.

Hurry Scurry Game The app also includes the exciting game Hurry Scurry, where students earn points by typing letters before the ball drops. It’s fun for all ages and skill levels!

Self-Voicing and Apple® VoiceOver Accessible The app is both self-voicing and accessible with Apple’s VoiceOver. The onboard keyboard of your device can be used with Talking Typer, but an external keyboard is recommended. The app can also be used with a refreshable braille display, like APH’s Refreshabraille 18TM Bluetooth®-enabled device, making it accessible for students who are deafblind as well.

Recommended ages: All.

For some reason, the keyboard will not come up immediately, skewing the Words Per Minute results.

That’s why there should be an application where acappella text to speech is available for voiceover. Not just custom voices, because custom voices are in another application developed by another company, this application will be well defined for some of the voices that were not created and you don’t need credentials. It’s not the my own voice feature, but it’s the standard voices like Ryan, and others, and all of them will be supported. And also vocal :-) would be supported, some of the voices have this feature, it’s hidden and no one even remembers that, like a laugh, a cry, and a scream, so instead of those being ignored, instead it will be recognized because they are always recognized. And this may work if you have a custom punctuation group, and there should be pause mode like pause longer on paragraph, and pause longer on; and paragraph pause

I loved this app before the update. The latest update has made it impossible to delete users from the app and you can’t change the voice in the settings.
