Online Typing Practice for Programmers

Don't Just be a Coder, be a SpeedCoder!

How it Works?

Practice Typing Source Codes of your favourite language with finger guiding system. While practicing you should not look at the keyboard but the screen which shows where the fingers will be placed. After completing each lesson you can see your WPM (words per minute), Accuracy and keys with most mistakes.

How is it different?

All other typing tutors are aimed for general english, and do not provide practice for special characters used frequently in programming. With SpeedCoder you focus on those characters and keywords. This help you in reducing typing mistakes and improve your overall typing speed.

Multiple Typing Modes

Switch between typing modes anytime from lesson settings.

Natural mode

You can keep typing even when you hit a wrong key. Mistakes are highlighted in red, but the cursor moves on so you practice at a natural pace. Your lesson results still track accuracy and which keys you miss most.

Forced correction

You must fix each mistake before moving to the next character. The on-screen keyboard highlights the key or backspace you need. This mode trains you not to leave errors behind.

Custom Code

Custom Code lets you practice your own programs—or any snippet you want to type. Paste your source, upload a file, or import directly from GitHub.

Mistakes Heatmap

After each lesson, see which keys you miss most on a color-coded keyboard heatmap. All mistakes are tracked—corrected or not—so you know exactly where to focus next.

Multiple Keyboard Layouts

QWERTY is the most widely used layout. Dvorak and Colemak are alternatives designed for speed and comfort. Switch layouts from lesson settings.
