Typing on a touch screen keypad is a different ballgame altogether than typing on a tactile keyboard. It is not easy, in the beginning at least, to type without a ‘feel’ of the keys under your fingers. Typist app for Android help you get over it quickly without compromising on your words per minute. Typist app for Android comprises of ten different types of typing tests. Each test last between 1 and 3 minutes, and you got to type correctly each word in a paragraph that you see onscreen. As soon as the timer ends, you can find your speed in WVM (words per minute). There is no limit to the number of tries you can attempt. On the flip side, the tests do not emphasize much on the different aspects of speed typing such as the use of numbers, capital letters and punctuations.
To take the typing tests, launch the app and click on ‘typing test’. After that, choose the time and type of the test you wish to take. The timer will start as soon as you type the first letter. You’ll get your average typing score once the timer runs out. You can also view the summary of your results. The app keeps a record of your previous typing scores for reference. If you wish, you can submit the scores to a leader board. However, Typist app for Android does not provide a means to share your scores via social network. Typist for Android supports only portrait mode in mobile phones even though both portrait/landscape mode supports are available for tabs. The UI is easy to use. The app is pretty robust and responsive as well. Typist app is compatible with Android OS versions 4.0 and upwards.
Conclusion
