Tale Typer turns touch typing for kids into a story worth finishing. Your child types to save the kingdom while accuracy, speed, and keyboard confidence climb in the background.
No ads. No open chat. No leaderboards strangers can shame your kid on. Just a real keyboarding curriculum, a parent dashboard that shows progress, and one adventure your kid can actually care about.
7 days free. No charge until day 8 — and we email you before the first charge.
Chapter 2 · The Last Lantern
Three stars — nailed it.
How it plays
Three minutes from sign-up to touch typing practice that feels like a quest instead of homework.
Skin tone, hair, face — done in two minutes. Your hero levels up as you do.
The Last Lantern is typed line by line. Your typing IS the action — every sentence moves the plot.
Coins drop on every clean run. Spend them on hats, capes, swords, and shields you can't get any other way.
For both of you

An automated test fails the build if a tracker slips in
No open chat, no leaderboards, no DMs from strangers.
Solo + family-only, by design
Standards-aligned curriculum: home row → top row → bottom → numbers.
Targets are graded to your kid's age band
Plain-English coach's notes — "Ava's slow on Q and Z, send her a 2-min drill."

The honest version
You’ve probably tried one already. Here’s what you ran into — and what we built instead.
The problem. “Drill until it sticks.” Most typing tutors are 30 minutes of home-row repetition. Your kid quits in week two.
What we do. Tale Typer wraps the drills inside a story your kid wants to finish — they keep typing because they want to know what happens next.
The problem. “Kids will pick it up.” School assumes typing comes naturally. It doesn't — most 4th-graders type with two fingers and look at the keyboard.
What we do. We teach touch-typing the way kids already learn — through characters, quests, and small wins they can show their family.
The problem. “Fun” that isn't real curriculum. Some games gamify a single drill and call it pedagogy. Your kid plays for a week and learns nothing.
What we do. Tale Typer is built on standards-aligned keyboarding pedagogy: home row → top row → bottom row → numbers and symbols. Adaptive to your kid’s actual speed.
