I built a typing practice tool because typing tests never helped me improve

1•amitgajbhare•2w ago
I type all day — code, emails, docs, messages. For years I used typing test websites. They’d tell me my speed, maybe my accuracy… and that was it. I never actually felt like my typing was getting better. At some point it clicked: most typing tools are great at measuring, but not very good at training. So I started building something for myself. The idea was simple: instead of showing random text every time, what if practice focused on the keys, words, and patterns I personally struggle with? That experiment slowly turned into TypeSpeedAI. Right now it does a few things: Tracks mistakes in real time (not just final score) Identifies weak keys and patterns Adjusts practice based on those weaknesses Has different modes depending on how you type: Clean (accuracy-focused) Standard (balanced) Programmer (code-heavy text) Shows progress over time, not just one-off tests I built this under my company Hackersway, and it’s still very much evolving. Some parts are polished, some parts are rough, and I’m actively changing things based on how people use it. I’m sharing it here because I’d genuinely like feedback from people who type a lot: Do you care more about speed or accuracy? Have you ever stuck with a typing tool long-term? What would make you actually use one daily? You can try it here: https://typespeedai.com Happy to answer questions about how it’s built, what’s working, and what’s not. Thanks for reading.
