What Typiq adds for professionals

Built for people who
actually type for a living.

▪ DRILL

Adaptive weakness drills

Typiq tracks every bigram and trigram. Slowest 3 become tomorrow's warm-up — no generic "asdf jkl" repeats.

▪ CODE

Code-mode practice

Real source code from JS, Python, Go, Rust. Learn brackets, semicolons, camelCase as muscle memory — not afterthoughts.

▪ PERSONAL

Your documents as lessons

Paste an email, Slack thread, or PDF. Typiq turns it into a drill on the vocabulary you actually use at work.

▪ LAYOUTS

8 keyboard layouts

Switch between QWERTY, QWERTZ, AZERTY and 5 more without losing progress. Layout-aware benchmarks.

▪ SHORTCUTS

Shortcut mastery

Stop reaching for the mouse. Drills for VS Code, Figma, Gmail, macOS, Vim — shortcut-by-shortcut, not one giant list.

▪ OFFLINE

Distraction-free desktop app

Offline-first native app for macOS / Windows / Linux. No tabs, no notifications, no streaks bullying you at 11pm.

"I went from 52 to 81 WPM in six weeks. The difference isn't typing faster — it's that I stopped thinking about typing. My code review notes are now 3x longer because drafting them is free.

FAQ — typing practice
for adults who already type all day.

How long until I see results?

Most users add 10 WPM in the first two weeks of 10-minute daily sessions. Plateau-breaking gains (past 80 WPM) take 4-6 weeks because the bottleneck shifts from motor to cognitive.

I already type 70 WPM. Will Typiq help me get to 100?

Yes — differently. Past 70 WPM your weakest bigrams matter more than your average. Typiq's adaptive mode isolates them and drills them specifically, which generic word-practice apps can't do.

Does it work for non-English keyboards?

Yes. Typiq supports 8 languages and multiple layouts (QWERTY, QWERTZ for German, AZERTY for French). Benchmarks are layout-aware.

Can I practice using my own documents?

Yes — paste any text (emails, code, Slack threads, PDFs) and Typiq turns it into a drill. Great for vocabulary you actually use at work.

Is there a team plan?

Typiq is built for individuals. If you want to equip a whole school or classroom, see /for-schools — that's a different product with a teacher dashboard.
