Playing typing games can be one of the fastest ways to improve typing skill and speed β when used correctly.
In this video, I explore TypingBird, a modern typing game platform with a surprisingly polished set of games. I had so much fun testing the site that I sat down for a 1-on-1 video chat with the developer to talk about how the games were built, what makes them effective, and where typing tools are headed next.
Watch to learn why typing games work, what to avoid, and how to use them as part of a real touch-typing system.
