Typpa is a free extension that turns any webpage into your typing tutor. Select text, press Alt+K, and type right over the article — in the site's own font.
Three steps, no setup. The page you're on becomes the lesson.
A news story, a recipe, a Wikipedia rabbit hole — anything you can highlight on any website.
Or right-click → "Practice typing this text." The selection dims and a small HUD appears.
Letters relight as you hit them, mistakes turn red, live WPM ticks along. Esc restores the page perfectly.
Touch typing is a style of typing where muscle memory finds the keys without using the sense of sight, allowing much faster speeds and better focus on the words themselves.
Just start typing the dimmed words. Esc resets everything.
The in-place mode is the headline. The rest is a full typing platform.
Timed sprints (15/30/60s), word counts, famous quotes, or paste your own text — notes, lyrics, homework, anything.
WPM trends, streaks, personal bests — and a keyboard heatmap that exposes exactly which keys you miss.
Expert ends the test on a wrong word. Master ends it on a single wrong keystroke. Good luck.
Learning one of those alternative keyboard layouts? Practice it inside Typpa without changing anything on your computer.
Typpa never sends your typing anywhere. Everything stays on your own computer — there is nothing to leak, ever.
Every theme, mode, and stat. No pro tier, no trial, no ads. Built by one person who wanted it to exist.

Actually free. There is no paid version hiding anywhere — every theme, every mode, and every stat is unlocked from day one. The only button that isn't a feature is "say hi".
Nowhere. There's no account and no cloud — your practice history lives on your own computer, and you can download a copy or erase it completely, anytime.
Chrome, Edge, Brave, and Firefox. One click from your browser's extension store and you're in — no setup afterwards.
Almost — any normal webpage works. A few special pages (like your browser's own settings screens) are off-limits for safety reasons, and Typpa will simply tell you if a page can't be used.
Yes — paste anything into the popup's custom mode: an email you're drafting, song lyrics, study notes. Multiple lines work too; a little ↵ mark shows you where to press Enter.
You can change any of Typpa's shortcuts from your browser's extension-shortcut settings — the defaults are just suggestions.
Install Typpa, highlight any paragraph, and see your first WPM within the minute.
