About KTouch
KTouch teaches touch typing step by step. It gives you text to type, adjusts the difficulty to your skill level, and shows an on-screen keyboard that marks the next key and the finger to use, so you learn without looking down.
It ships with dozens of courses in many languages and a course editor. You can use different keyboard layouts or create your own. During training it records detailed statistics, so a learner or a teacher can review progress. It suits schools, universities and personal practice.
