Your practice

Watch your speed change

The typing drill scores every timed test. This page keeps them — so the question stops being how fast you typed just now and starts being whether you are faster than last month.

Keep your progress

Your timed tests are already saved in this browser. An account carries them between browsers and machines, and is what makes a streak mean anything.

Accounts are not switched on for this build. The drill still keeps every test in this browser.

Levels

A level counts the Ethiopic letters you have committed, added up across every timed test — not your speed. Speed is already reported exactly, as a number, and a level that restated it would be the same fact dressed up. Time at the keyboard is the thing a ladder can honestly stand for, and it only ever goes up: a bad week costs nothing.

  1. Level 1from the start
  2. Level 2250 letters
  3. Level 31,000 letters
  4. Level 43,000 letters
  5. Level 58,000 letters
  6. Level 620,000 letters
  7. Level 745,000 letters
  8. Level 8100,000 letters

What is kept, and what is not

Nothing you type is ever sent. The drill runs entirely in your browser — that is what the transliteration engine being compiled to WebAssembly is for. What a finished test sends is eight numbers: how long it ran, how many keys were right and wrong, your speed, your accuracy, the words you completed and the letters of fidel you committed. Not the words themselves, and not the keys you pressed.

Only timed tests are kept. Practice mode never ends, so there is nothing to record; you can practise as long as you like without anything being stored anywhere but your own browser. Tests run at 30, 60 and 120 seconds.

Every test is written to this browser first, whether or not you are signed in, and that copy stays yours: signing out leaves it, and deleting your account leaves it. The account is a second copy that follows you between machines. The privacy page says who else handles any of it, which is a short list.
