Why Typewriter
More time for teaching, less for marking.
Typewriter was built together with teachers. It takes the marking off the teacher’s desk, gives learners and teachers immediate feedback, and delivers the data needed to intervene where it helps most.
-
Research-backed
Over 22 years of research at the University of Teacher Education Vorarlberg feed into every lesson.
-
Class management

-
700+ lessons
Ready-made exercises plus AI-generated individual texts. Differentiation becomes a matter of seconds.
-

-
Badges & Typefish
Gamification that isn’t pushy. Students want to keep practising because it’s fun.

Voices from research & practice
The people behind Typewriter.
In 2015 we introduced touch typing in primary school. Today we know we backed the right horse with Typewriter. A three-year evaluation showed that the program is well received by teachers and pupils alike — and that the learning goals are met.

I have been researching media-supported learning for over 20 years. My aim is not just to write up findings but to put them into practice. That works with Typewriter because the research method is part of the program itself.
