Windows 8 App To Increase Typing Speed: TYPING MASTER
TYPING MASTER is a free game app for Windows 8 and 8.1 devices which allows you to speed up your typing speed and skills by allowing you to choose from three different difficulty levels where you can practice and speed up your typing. The app is available as a free download, and has three levels – boxes level, bubbles level and the timer level. In the boxes and the bubbles level, you will be shown various letters on the screen which you have to press on the keyboard in a split second. If you get late, the letters become red and stay on the screen, and the letter which you press in time correctly disappear from the screen. At the end of the level, you can see which letters you pressed incorrectly. The timer level shows you various phrases that you have to type out and the faster that you type, the more points you get!
TYPING MASTER is available for free from the Windows App Store.
Main features of TYPING MASTER for Windows 8 and 8.1:
When you install and launch the TYPING MASTER game on your device, you will be presented with the landing page of the game where you can easily go to the level selection screen. The main screen of the game looks like the below screenshot.
Simply click on the NEXT button in the above screenshot, and you will be taken to the level selection screen where you can either choose to view the help section about each of the three levels, or you can directly choose to start the levels themselves.
The game has three levels – BOXES GAME, BUBBLES GAME and TIMER GAME. When you click on the GO button next to the BOXES game, you will be shown the gameplay screen where certain letters will appear in boxes on your screen and you have to type those letters on your keyboard. If you press the wrong letter or take too long to type the letter, the letter box will turn red.
The correctly typed letters vanish from the screen. You can see the timer at the top right, and you can also choose to pause the level via the PAUSE button. The BUBBLES GAME works on the similar principle, the only difference being that the speed of appearance of bubbles is higher in this level.
The TIMER GAME has a set of phrases that you have to type out in the stipulated time, and you will be awarded points accordingly.
The faster you type out the phrases, the more points you are awarded! This basically sums up the main features of the TYPING MASTER game for Windows 8 and 8.1 devices.
