Is Aksharabhyasa free to use?

Yes, completely free. All lessons, practice modes, typing tests, and games are available immediately — no sign-up, no limits, no premium tiers.

No. All your progress and stats are stored locally in your browser using IndexedDB. No account, no cloud — your data stays on your device.

What's a good typing speed to aim for?

The average typing speed is about 40 WPM. 60-80 WPM is considered good for most professionals. 100+ WPM is excellent. Focus on accuracy first — speed follows naturally.

How are WPM and accuracy calculated?

WPM (Words Per Minute) counts every 5 characters as one word. Accuracy is the percentage of correctly typed characters out of total characters typed.

Will my progress be saved?

Yes. All lesson progress, test results, and statistics are saved in your browser's IndexedDB storage. They persist across sessions but are specific to your browser.

Can I practice with my own text?

Yes. The Practice mode lets you type randomly generated text, and you can also customize settings to match your skill level.

How do the typing games work?

Three games are available: Falling Words (type words before they fall), Speed Race (type to race), and Word Blast (type to destroy words). Each game makes practice fun while building real typing skills.

Does Aksharabhyasa work on mobile?

The site is accessible on mobile, but typing practice works best with a physical keyboard. For the best experience, use a desktop or laptop computer.

Pro Tips

Don't look at the keyboard

Touch typing means keeping your eyes on the screen. It feels slow at first, but your speed will increase dramatically once muscle memory develops.

Focus on accuracy first, speed second

It's tempting to type fast, but accuracy builds the right muscle memory. Speed comes naturally once you can type accurately without thinking about each key.

Use the home row as your anchor

Keep your fingers on ASDF and JKL; (the home row). Return to this position after pressing any other key. The bumps on F and J help you find home without looking.

Practice for short sessions, but do it daily

15-20 minutes of focused daily practice is more effective than one long session per week. Consistency builds muscle memory faster than intensity.

Use the Warm Up before longer sessions

The Warm Up feature gives you quick exercises to loosen your fingers before a practice session or typing test. It helps you reach peak performance faster.
