About

Standalone typing test app.
The idea was to combine features I found useful from Typing Practice (keybr.com), Monkeytype, KeyPresso, Ngram Type and exclude ads, personal data collection and server instabilities

Features

• Words of different rarity (english 200, english 1k, etc)
• Filter words to include specific letter (to train rare letters like "J" or "Q", or to test how letter swaps in keyboard layout feel)
• Bigrams and Trigrams
• Learn letters one by one in your own order and pace (useful for learning touch-typing or new keyboard layouts)
• Numbers mode
• Symbols mode
• WPM/CPM, time and accuracy meters after each test
• different test sizes: from one line up to twelve

Adding More Languages

Currently supported languages:

• Numbers
• Symbols
• English
• Russian

Numbers and Symbols languages are hardcoded, others can be added relatively easily by modifying data/languages.json and providing according data.

Build

Requires Rust toolchain

cargo run --bin serializer --release && cargo build --bin drochetype --release

1. Runs serializer to convert jsons with language data into single compressed binary blob
   
2. Builds Drochetype app itself
   
3. Result will be inside ./target/release directory
