AI that sees your fingers. Practice that builds confidence.

A key gets a familiar movement. Using the same finger for the same key gives you a consistent movement to rehearse, instead of deciding which finger to send each time.

Your hands have a starting place. In the standard touch-typing layout, each finger covers a group of keys. F and J are anchors for your index fingers; many keyboards have small bumps on those keys so you can find them by touch.

Build toward less looking down. As key locations become familiar, you can practice looking at the screen more often. The aim is to spend less attention searching for letters and more on what you want to write.

Start with accurate, comfortable movements. Speed can come with familiarity and practice, but a particular finger pattern does not guarantee faster typing. Progress varies from person to person.

Press F with either index finger and the computer receives the same letter. A keyboard event alone cannot tell which finger you used. TypeSight's AI vision adds feedback about the movement behind the keypress. It looks at your keyboard and hands, not your face.

In the guided tour, first check that the app sees your keyboard and hand landmarks. Then try F and J with the same target and finger-marker effects used in the game. The app combines keypresses with camera estimates to check the key and finger.

Feedback is a cue to try again, not a verdict on your ability. Camera tracking can be wrong. An unverified press means the app could not confirm the finger, not that the learner failed. Check the view and lighting before asking someone to change their technique.

For a child just starting to type, "use the right finger" can feel abstract. A target on their own keyboard and a marker following their finger make the next action visible. Game feedback gives you something specific to discuss and celebrate together.

Try one short session together. Set up the camera, find the bumps on F and J, and take turns pressing each key with the suggested index finger. A few minutes is a starting point, not a daily quota.

Praise the process. Try "You found J without looking down" or "You slowed down and tried that finger again." Keep scores secondary to comfortable, accurate practice. End the session when your child is tired or frustrated.

Let readiness set the pace. The keyboard should be within comfortable reach. Do not force stretches or keep practicing through discomfort. A standard finger map is a teaching guide, not a rule that fits every hand size, ability, or keyboard.

The game currently checks its standard finger assignments; it does not offer a personalized finger map. If those assignments do not suit your child, a different typing approach may be a better fit.

You do not need to unlearn everything at once. Begin with F and J, then add the home-row keys as they become familiar. Short, focused practice gives you a chance to notice and repeat the movement you are learning.

A new technique may feel slower at first. You are practicing a different pattern, not taking a speed test. Look for small signs of familiarity: fewer searches for a key, more consistent finger choices, and less need to look down.

There is no need to treat an effective adapted technique as a bad habit. Choose a method that works for your hands and your goals.

Try the guided tour and free starting lessons first. Check that your camera can clearly see the keyboard and fingers, that tracking works in your setup, and that the learner enjoys this kind of feedback. Tour attempts do not affect saved scores.

The value is guided practice with feedback on both the key and the finger, not a promise of a particular typing speed, school result, or learning timeline. A subscription unlocks further lessons; it does not replace patient practice or an adult's support.

Know what the camera does. Camera frames are processed in the browser and are not uploaded. Account and practice-progress data are separate: signed-in, eligible progress can be synced. Parents should review account and purchase choices and help with camera permission.
