Accessible Typing Practice for Low Vision, Dyslexia and Motor Needs

Typing should be open to everyone. TypePlay includes accessibility presets in Settings that change how practice, lessons and games behave. Each preset can be switched on in one click and adjusted afterwards.

Blind and low-vision typists

The blind and low-vision preset speaks each key you type, each finished word and the next key to press, and says when a key was wrong. It also switches on high contrast and extra-large text, and keeps the cursor from moving past a mistake, so you always know where you are. Screen readers hear lesson progress and results through live announcements.

Dyslexia

The dyslexia preset uses Lexend, a typeface designed for reading ease, with wider spacing between letters and words. Practising with short, common words, such as the top 200 words test, keeps reading load low while typing builds.

Motor difficulties

The motor preset removes time pressure: timed tests count up instead of down, games slow their pace, and the engine ignores accidental repeated key presses within a short window. Larger click targets make buttons easier to hit.

Reduced motion and high contrast

Reduce motion turns off animations across the site and inside games, and it also follows your operating system setting. High contrast raises text and key contrast without changing anything else.

Getting started

1. Open typing practice and click Settings.
2. Choose a preset in the Accessibility section.
3. Adjust individual options if you need to.
4. Start with the first typing lesson; every lesson supports the presets.

Everything works with the keyboard alone: dialogs keep focus inside them, every control has a label, and there is a skip link to the main content.
