For most people, typing has become a tedious task. Our mobile phones are filled with various apps, but I am sure you never thought about a typing app to save you time. One usually only starts to think about such things when you need it in the moment. Even though typing does not seem like much of a skill these days, it does come in handy. Between our mobile phones, blogs, essays and jobs, we sure type a lot. Improving these skills are going to serve you in the long run. If you are currently looking for the best typing apps or might need it in the future, here is our top list.

SwiftKey

We have all had moments where predictive text just does not work out. SwiftKey has done an overall update to make sure that their predictive texts come up with better options. It is important to take the entire sentence into consideration when predicting a word. This is what makes this app so good and saves the users so much time. Once you get the hang of it, this app is really worth downloading.

Flesky

This app offers much more than many other keyboard apps. You can customise your typing experience by placing the characters you use most in the top row. This makes for faster typing that suites your personal needs. There are features you can use to instantly enter regular information, like your address or contact details. This is all preprogramed into the app. I can just imagine how incredible this would be for someone offering typing services because of the time you could save.

Typing Invaders

Who does not enjoy learning something without it feeling like work? This is a fun way to improve your typing speed, while feeling like you are just messing around. With the combination of playing a game and improving your typing skills, you are proven to have a good time. In order to win this game, you have to type the correct words in a set time. This is a lot of fun and definitely helps improve your typing skills. The next time you are typing a document, you will surely see the benefit.

Ten Thumbs Typing Tutor

Before you download this app, I have to warn you that it does have a Viking as a mascot. With that behind us, this is a great app to help improve your typing. It does not matter if you are a beginner or an advanced typist. This app will even help someone offering a professional typing service. What I love about this app is that you can import your playlist and type while listening to your favorite songs. It does not sound like the average tutor lesson, but this app is very effective in improving your skills.

Typing Master Pro

The name really suggests it all. It is definitely leading the market at the moment in the features that is offered. The offer includes a host of lessons that might take several hours to complete. This shows that it is not for anyone who is not serious about improving their typing skills. As much as this app seems like a commitment and real studying, it is worth the time and effort. In the long run, this is going to improve your typing skills and save you time. This app will also identify the keys you usually make mistakes on and test those more often. By doing this, you are working on the problem, instead of ignoring it.

Conclusion

Not many people believe that typing apps are important these days and that is only because many people can do it. The question however is, how effective your typing skills are. Do you spend too much time typing a simple document, which can be done in half of the time? Then I do suggest you get one of these apps to make life simpler. Typing is a skill and it is a skill that most of us use daily. With the growth in popularity in content marketing, many individuals make a living typing.

Good typing skills also come in handy if you are a student who needs to write essays. Perhaps you have your topic down, but do not look forward to all the work that has to go into writing the essay. If you improved your skills, you might find that it seems less daunting. One thing is important to remember and that is to continue to practice. Even if you are at a level where you are advanced, you need to continue typing in order to not lose those skills. Good luck on your new venture in becoming a better and more effective typing master.
