Getting Started with ARTyping — Your First Steps to Faster Typing
Welcome to ARTyping — What Makes It Different?
If you've landed here, you're probably looking for a reliable way to improve your typing speed. Maybe you're preparing for SSC, UPSSSC, or Railway typing tests. Or maybe you just want to type faster at work. Either way, ARTyping was built specifically for you.
Unlike generic typing websites, ARTyping focuses on what Indian aspirants actually need — English typing, Hindi Mangal typing, and Hindi KrutiDev typing, all in one platform. You get structured courses, real exam-style practice passages, and detailed progress tracking. And yes, it's completely free.
Step 1: Create Your Free Account
You can start practicing without an account, but creating one unlocks the full experience. Your account lets you:
- Save your progress across sessions — your WPM and accuracy history is tracked automatically.
- Earn achievements as you hit speed milestones.
- Pick up where you left off in typing tutor courses.
- See your dashboard with lifetime stats, streaks, and improvement graphs.
Signing up takes less than a minute. Just click the Sign Up button on the homepage and use your email or Google account.
Step 2: Choose the Right Typing Course
Many aspirants ask us — "Which course should I start with?" Here's a simple decision guide:
| Your Goal | Recommended Course | Layout |
|---|---|---|
| Learn English typing from scratch | English Typing Tutor | QWERTY |
| Prepare for SSC/RRB Hindi typing | Hindi Mangal Tutor | Inscript |
| Prepare for UP state exams Hindi | Hindi KrutiDev Tutor | Remington |
| Already know basics, want speed | Practice Mode | Any |
Each course starts from absolute basics — home row finger placement — and builds up to full paragraphs. You don't need any prior typing experience.
Step 3: Take Your First Typing Test
Before starting a course, take a quick baseline test. This gives you a starting WPM number to compare against later. Head to the Practice section and take a 1-minute English test.
Don't worry about your score. Whether it's 10 WPM or 30 WPM, that's your starting line. From our experience, most beginners land between 15-25 WPM on their first test. Within 2-3 weeks of consistent practice, you'll see that number climb significantly.
A common mistake candidates make is retaking the baseline test multiple times trying to get a "good" score. Don't. Just take one honest test and move on to learning.
Step 4: Work Through Tutor Lessons
The typing tutor courses are structured in modules. Each lesson introduces new keys while reinforcing everything you've already learned. Here's how to get the most out of them:
- Complete lessons in order: Don't skip ahead. Each lesson builds on the previous one.
- Don't look at the keyboard: This is the hardest rule to follow, but it's the most important. Use the on-screen keyboard guide instead.
- Aim for accuracy, not speed: If a lesson feels too fast, slow down. You can always redo it.
- Do one lesson per day: Consistency beats intensity. 20 minutes daily is better than 2 hours on weekends.
Step 5: Use Your Dashboard to Track Progress
After each practice session, your results are automatically saved to your dashboard. You can see:
- Your best WPM and average WPM over time.
- Accuracy trends — are you getting more precise?
- Total practice time and session count.
- Current streak — how many consecutive days you've practiced.
Here's what most people miss — the dashboard isn't just for vanity. Use it to identify patterns. Are you faster in the morning? Does accuracy drop after 20 minutes? These insights help you optimize your practice schedule.
Tips From Our Most Successful Users
- Set a daily alarm: Practice at the same time every day. Habit formation is easier with a trigger.
- Start with English: Even if your goal is Hindi typing, learning English touch typing first gives you a strong foundation of muscle memory.
- Use practice mode for exam prep: Once you finish the tutor course, switch to practice mode with timed tests that simulate real exam conditions.
- Don't compare with others: Everyone progresses at different speeds. Focus on beating your own yesterday's score.
