aTypeTrainer4Mac overview
aTypeTrainer4Mac is a multilingual typing tutor for macOS. All the system keyboard layouts (but not input methods!) as well as a wide variety of non-system keyboard layouts (i.e. Dvorak, Colemak or custom layouts) are completely or partially supported.
Training within the program is based on matching a mixed string of random characters presented by the app. There are 30 levels of difficulty. You can customize the character set at each of the 30 levels, and thus customize your own learning process. If you'd prefer to use source material of your own choosing for your training sessions, you can either import text files or paste text into the app. Use command-v anywhere within the app to paste text into the training display.
At the end of each session, the app provides a detailed evaluation of your typing, saved to your desktop by default. In the Menu and Preferences, you can adjust a host of settings to customize the app to your liking.
To launch the app: In Finder, Control-click or right click the icon of the app. Select Open from the top of contextual menu that appears. Click Open in the dialog box. If prompted, enter an administrator name and password.

Version: 4.51
Kleines Update zu meinem Erfahrungsbericht unter "ollisandra" im Juli 21. Die App ist immer noch ein großartiges Produkt und ich kann sie mit gutem Gewissen weiterempfehlen.

A great little app that makes me able to train to use all my fingers while typing on my MBP keyboard.
According to the developer of the app, it's possible to connect your iPad as a sidecar to some Mac, and then you can run the app on the iPad. I haven't tried though, due to being still using an old MBP and Catalina macOS.
As I said at the beginning of the review, it's a great little software. Well recommended!

In aller Kürze: die App ist genial. 2016 war ich auf der Suche nach einem Programm um endlich mein Zwei-Finger-Suchsystem ohne großen Aufwand zu überwinden.
Ich habe mich damals in der Linux-, Windows- und Mac-Welt umgeschaut und vieles ausprobiert. Schlußendlich war dieses Programm die beste Wahl.
Innerhalb kürzester Zeit habe ich gelernt mit allen Fingern zu tippen. Heute nutze ich die App gelegentlich immer noch, um gezielt meine Schreibgeschwindigkeit immer weiter zu erhöhen. Es macht einfach Spaß damit zu arbeiten. Das Programm funktioniert unter Catalina / BigSur im Hellmodus einwandfrei, nur im Dunkelmodus treten teilweise Farbfehler auf. Ich habe den Entwickler darüber informiert und er hat sich sofort an die Arbeit gemacht das Problem zu beseitigen. Demnächst kommt eine fehlerbereinigte Version. Von mir ein großes Lob an den Programmierer für das Engagement und den netten Kontakt.

Es ist nie zu spät, richtig Tippen zu lernen. Ich bin über sechzig und wollte immer mit zehn Fingern schreiben können. Früher hab ich mal Seminare besucht, um das 10-Finger-Schreiben auf der Schreibmaschine zu lernen. Die waren aber langweilig, teuer und nicht hilfreich, und ich habe bald wieder mit zwei bis vier Fingen getippt. Schließlich stieß ich auf atypetrainer4mac und wurde ein Fan davon. Es ist eine einfache, spielerische, motivierende und ausgereifte Software. Ich habe nicht nur das Zehn-Finger-System gelernt, sondern mich über die Jahre daran gehalten. Da ich die App hin und wieder benutze, um meine Schreibfähigkeiten zu aktualisieren und zu verbessern, bin ich sehr froh, dass es ein Update für Catalina geben wird. Inzwischen benutze ich die Beta-Version die recht gut funktioniert.

It’s never too late to learn to type.
I am over sixty and always wanted to write with my ten fingers. In the past, I had attended typing seminars which were boring, expensive and not helpful.
Eventually, I came across atypetrainer4mac. It is an easy, playful, motivating and sophisticated software. And I not only learned the ten-finger-system but I stuck to it over the years.
Since I use the app once in a while to refresh and improve my typing skills I am very glad that there will be an update for Catalina. Meanwhile I use
the beta version and so far it works fine.

This is an absolutely fantastic app, by far the best typing program I've ever seen, and I've tried a lot of them. This app has everything: ease of use, progressive challenges, configurability and a statistics package that helps you hone in on any habitual errors you tend to make.
I use aTypeTrainer4Mac every morning to warm up my typing for the rest of the day, which actually saves me lots of time because after my quick warmup on the app, my typing is very fast and accurate for the rest of the day.
I love this program so much that I've donated three times now. The developer, Valentin Vassilevski is also very helpful and responsive, which makes me feel even better about the app. I've been asked to report bugs, but I haven't been able to find any so far! Great app!

Great app!! One of the best free apps to learn you how to type faster. It has everything you’ll need in a typing app, and now the best part is that I’m testing the upcoming 64-bit version which should work fine on the latest macOS update Catalina, and things are looking great!! And finally, a typing app that supports FULL Arabic language. Big thanks for the developer and keep it up!!.

Отличная программа! И ребёнок у меня с ней занимался, и я сам. Лучше пока не видел. Всё остальное как-то наворочено, сложно, а тут включил и тренируйся. Понравилось и то, как программа сама определяет, когда перейти на следующий уровень - очень точно.
Возможность включить и выключить ментроном тоже хорошая вещь - помогает печатать ритмично.
Спасибо автору! И очень приятно слышать, что появится обновление!

Update for Catalina should come soon. Beta is available at your request. Testers are welcome. My contact is to be find in the app's help-menu.

I needed to train touch typing in Arabic and discovered this application.
I like that you can create arbitrary levels for studying or use custom texts for training. The application can also watch your errors and adjust behaviour to train more effectively.. Can't believe it's free.

Лучшее приложение по обучению слепой печати! Почти все аналоги перепробованы - это лучшее из всех! Спасибо разработчику! Надеюсь что будут постоянно выходить обновления/улучшения.

I have been using this wonderful typing program for more than five years. I use it every morning to bring my typing up to speed and optimize my typing for the rest of the day, which ends up saving me time, because then my typing speed and accuracy is so high for the rest of the day. This program has so many great features, but the ones that are most important to me are:
1) The complete statistical report generated as an RTF file, including detailed tracking of what errors I am making habitually. This allows me to practice on just those areas.
2) The ability to specify the speed and accuracy required before proceeding to a higher level of challenge.
3) The ability to use a specific piece of text for practice.
4) Support for multiple character sets and keyboard layouts.
I've tried all different typing programs, but this one is definitely the best. Though the program is available for free, I've found it so valuable that I've donated not once, but twice, and was happy to do so. Great program!

This is a great update! A powerful tool for those learning new keyboards. With tons of unique options.

Since more than seven Years I am using aTypeTrainer4Mac. I was typing hunt-and-peck, and now I regularly type with ten fingers. At present aTypeTrainer4Mac helps me to test my current typing speed and to improve it further. The new version 3.0 works perfectly well on my computer (MacBook Pro 13“, 2.26 GHz, 4 GB RAM, Mac OS X 10.9.5 German).
