Frequently Asked Questions
Answers about how to type books online with Typersguild.
Why type books instead of random text?
When you type books, you stay engaged with the story and build endurance. This helps you focus longer, develop natural muscle memory, and improve reading comprehension while practicing typing. Random sentences get boring fast - stories keep you coming back.
How is this different from other typing apps?
Most typing apps use random sentences or artificial drills. Typersguild lets you type through complete books you actually want to read. Our n-gram analysis identifies your specific weak letter combinations, and the engaging content helps you practice longer and more consistently.
Is Typersguild free? What do I get with Premium?
The Free plan lets you type from the public books library and Wikipedia, use basic themes and fonts, and view basic typing statistics. Premium adds private EPUB/text uploads, advanced n-gram analytics, cloud sync across devices, premium themes & fonts, and priority support.
Can I upload my own books? What formats are supported?
Yes. You can upload your own EPUB books and plain text files for private practice. Your uploads are stored securely and only accessible to your account.
