Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers about privacy, practice, and progress so you can use the site with confidence.
Is TypeForge really free?
Yes. It is free to use without an account, and your progress stays on your device so you can practice privately.
Do I need to create an account?
No. You can start practicing immediately and return later without losing access to your saved progress in the browser.
Does it work offline?
Yes. After your first visit, TypeForge behaves like a progressive web app and remains available offline on supported devices.
What should I do if my accuracy drops?
Slow down for one short run and focus on clean movement. A few controlled reps usually recover accuracy faster than forcing a rushed pass.
How do I improve my typing speed?
Use short daily sessions, aim for clean form first, and vary your inputs with words, quotes, code, and numbers so your hands learn different rhythms.
Which practice mode should I choose?
Use words for fundamentals, paragraphs and quotes for real-world flow, code for programming rhythm, and numbers or symbols when you want to sharpen weak spots.
What keyboard layouts are supported?
QWERTY, AZERTY, and Dvorak are supported, and you can switch them in the practice settings when you want to compare layouts.
Can I use TypeForge on mobile?
Yes. The experience is responsive and practical for phones and tablets, especially for short drills during a break or commute.
How is accuracy calculated?
Accuracy is based on the proportion of correct characters you type compared with the total characters entered in a run.
How is WPM calculated?
WPM uses the standard formula of correct characters divided by five, then divided by the time in minutes for the run.
What happens if I clear my browser data?
Your stored progress and settings reset. If you want a backup, export your stats before clearing your browser data.
Can I use TypeForge in school or at work?
Absolutely. The practice page and lessons work well for short training breaks, homework support, or professional skill-building.
How do I report a bug or share feedback?
You can email us with the details and we will review it directly. The more specific the report, the easier it is to fix.
Is there a limit to how many runs I can log?
No. You can log as many runs as you want, and the stats page will keep the recent history for review.
