Keybr alternative
An adaptive typing trainer that starts on your keyboard
If you like how keybr works, lessons generated from your own key speeds with letters unlocking one at a time, SureTyping's AI Trainer works the same way, with a few differences you might prefer. It's free, needs no account, and runs on 17 keyboard layouts.
Keybr and the AI Trainer, side by side
| keybr | SureTyping AI Trainer | |
|---|---|---|
| Lessons built from your typing | Yes: words are generated from your per-key statistics. | Yes: every key is timed, and each lesson is built around your weakest letter. |
| Letters unlock one at a time | Yes. | Yes. You can also unlock the next letter early. |
| First letters | The most common letters of the language: E N I T R L S. | The home row of your own keyboard: E H A S D L on QWERTY, E T N S H I on Colemak, E T I H N S on Dvorak. Or most common first, if you prefer. |
| The words you type | Made-up words that follow the spelling patterns of your language. | Real English words mixed with made-up ones. Choose mixed, real where possible, or made-up only. |
| When the next letter unlocks | When the newest letter reaches the target speed; earlier letters may slip back. | When every unlocked letter is at your target speed and your target accuracy (90 to 97%). |
| Your weakest letter | The slowest key goes into every word. | The least confident key, by speed and accuracy, goes into about 70% of words. |

Why start on the home row?
Touch typing is built from the home row out: your fingers rest there and every other key is a reach from it. Starting on the most common letters of English puts QWERTY learners on keys scattered across three rows, and on Colemak or Dvorak it means a different set of reaches again. The AI Trainer starts with two vowels and the four most useful consonants on your own home row, so the first lessons already spell real words, then adds letters by how often they're used and how easy they are to reach.

Questions
Is the SureTyping AI Trainer free?
Yes. The letter trainer is free with no daily limit and works without an account. All-Access ($39 once) adds capitals and punctuation.
Can I bring my keybr progress?
No, the two sites don't share data. You won't lose much: the trainer calibrates each key within a few lessons, and you can unlock letters you already know straight away.
Is it really AI?
It's adaptive statistics, not a chatbot. The trainer measures the speed and first-try accuracy of every key, picks your weakest letter, and generates text around it with a letter model trained on English words.
Which keyboard layouts does it support?
All 17 layouts on SureTyping. The letter order is worked out from each layout's home row, so Colemak and Dvorak learners start on their own home keys rather than QWERTY's.
Is SureTyping affiliated with keybr?
No. keybr.com is a separate site. This page compares the two using what keybr's own help page describes.
