Overview of keyboard simulators online
Recently, more and more sites have started appearing on the Internet where you can practice your keyboard skills. I decided to make a small selection of these sites and their comparative analysis. Everything written below is my own opinion, which may not coincide with yours :).
A little about myself:
I just need to type quickly and correctly by type of activity (database development and programming).
He studied 10-finger blind typing using the Solo on Keyboard program. Now the typing speed is 350-400 characters / min.
Well, let's not waste time and move on to the sites:
The project of Vladimir Shahidzhanyan, author of “Solo on the Keyboard”. It is proposed to participate in competitions in speed of typing, correct typing and even erudition. All texts on the site are well selected, interesting and informative.
It is possible to get both a paper certificate (cost - 100 rubles + delivery), and electronic (hang on the site). Also on the site there is a good selection of thematic flash games.
Supported languages: Russian, English and German.
Website address: www.nabiraem.ru
The main feature of the project - recruitment training takes place in the form of a game with other online players in the form of a race :). You have a car, start and finish - the faster you enter text (there are several game modes), the faster your car moves. The one who comes to the finish line first won. The faster you type, the “cooler” your car looks:
You can also “pump” your car by choosing your favorite color or color painting (paid coloring).
The following game modes are supported:
Typing speed results can be published on your website ( example ).
Recently, the makings of a social network began to appear on the site: on the main page, a block with reviews and photos of participants (the idea was successfully borrowed from the Quip site, as I understand it), it is possible to correspond with other participants, the ability to friend other participants, the ability to leave comments (in the style of “whiteboard” "On VKontakte") to other participants.
Supported languages: only Russian.
Website address: www.klavogonki.ru
The youngest project presented in this review. Unlike other participants, the emphasis is on training: there are theoretical materials on landing, position of the hands and movement of the fingers, as well as practical exercises. Classes in general resemble the program “Solo on the keyboard” - the training scheme also consists of lessons, at the end of which statistics are given.
It is possible to pass the exam and get a certificate that you can print, save or hang on the site.
Supported languages: Russian, English.
Website address: www.vse10.ru
To summarize.
If you are not familiar with the 10-finger printing method, I recommend gaining knowledge on the Vse10.Ru website .
If you need to practice and consolidate the knowledge gained, I advise the Klavogonka website - you will get great pleasure.
And if you need documentary evidence of your skills (paper certificate), then you just need to pass the exams at "We recruit . Ru . "
PS I advise you to buy an ergonomic keyboard (for example, this one ) - it is much more convenient to type with it in a blind 10-finger way (and your wrists are resting).

The following game modes are supported:
- Normal - a random quote from a book that needs to be typed for a while.
- Abracadabra - text is randomly generated based on a dictionary.
- Yandex.Referats - the text is generated from the Yandex.Referats service, which can compose random connected texts from real words ..
- Error-free - no mistakes can be made. If a typo is made, the player is disqualified and the result does not count. This allows you to train the ability to type accurately and without errors.
- Marathon - the one who types the most text in 5 minutes wins. Time is always fixed, the text is obviously more than it is possible to type in the allotted time.
- Letters - a random sequence of letters is proposed as text. Unlike the Abracadabra regime, the morphological structure of the Russian language is not preserved.
- Numbers - the text is composed of numbers, spaces and decimal point.
- Sprint - the text for typing is fixed during the day, so you can practice typing memorized texts.
- According to the dictionary - players can create their own dictionaries, which can be used as texts. When the game starts, the text is created from randomly mixed lines (namely lines, not words) from the dictionary.
Typing speed results can be published on your website ( example ).
