CueType’s drills are progressive, but there is no
requirement to
try them in order. With the convenient Drills Drawer, you can easily
switch to any drill
at any time, attempting it as often or as seldom as you like.
Feel perfectly free to jump ahead and challenge
yourself, or to go back and brush up on
troublesome keys, or to keep trying a drill until
your speed is through the roof and your accuracy is
consistently 100%.
Do-over! Set speed and accuracy thresholds, and whenever a
drill attempt begins to fall short of your standards,
CueType will immediately interrupt that attempt and
let you start again.
By reducing time spent on sub-par attempts, the Auto-Restart
helps you achieve greater performance more quickly.
CueType marks your mistakes in red, letting you
review them when a drill attempt is over.
The red marks turn blue on your next attempt, warning you
of your previous trouble spots.
During a drill attempt, the
Keyboard panel highlights the next
character to be typed, and indicates keys pressed in error.
The
Ghost-Type feature runs through a full drill automatically,
with the Keyboard panel’s highlighted keys illustrating helpful patterns.
Learn the U.S. Standard “QWERTY” or Dvorak keyboards, or learn them both!
CueType maintains performance records for drills in each layout
individually, so you can switch between them at will.
Note: Your physical keyboard doesn’t have to match the chosen layout.
You can, for instance, learn Dvorak on a QWERTY keyboard (or any other
keyboard with the same basic shape). When the goal of learning
to touch-type is to avoid looking at the keyboard, it doesn’t matter
which characters are printed on which keys!
The straightforward
Performance Report panel
compiles comprehensive drill statistics, including overall average
speed and accuracy.
While packed with features,
CueType remains easy to use,
with the familiar Mac look-and-feel. You’ll find the drills in
a drawer, important options in a customizable toolbar, and
information in retractable sheets.
Convenient by design.

Finger Cues apply color according to the finger and hand used to type each character.
Row Cues raise or lower a character whose key lies above or below the “home” row.
Reach Cues slant and thicken a character whose key requires a finger to “reach” to the left or right.
Shift Cues outline a character typed with a Shift key.
