  • For high-level questions, the FAQ covers most onboarding topics.
  • For feature overviews, see Features.
  • For procurement, see Licences.

Quick-start summary

In short, regardless of your role:

  1. Teachers: sign in at your school/canton instance, set the grading scheme for the class, import students (manually or via CSV) and assign lessons. The Type-O-Meter live dashboard shows progress as students type.
  2. Students: sign in, pick the next lesson in your learning path, type. Errors trigger targeted repeat exercises automatically.
  3. School admins (Plus/Pro): manage classes, teachers, licences and billing centrally in the admin area. CSV import to onboard whole school years at once; SSO via Edulog, Microsoft, Google or SAML.

For specific questions: support@typewriter.at. We typically reply the same working day.
