Issues with the keyboard not popping up?

For some reason, the keyboard will not come up immediately, skewing the Words Per Minute results.

This app is great, need more apps!

That’s why there should be an application where acappella text to speech is available for voiceover. Not just custom voices, because custom voices are in another application developed by another company, this application will be well defined for some of the voices that were not created and you don’t need credentials. It’s not the my own voice feature, but it’s the standard voices like Ryan, and others, and all of them will be supported. And also vocal :-) would be supported, some of the voices have this feature, it’s hidden and no one even remembers that, like a laugh, a cry, and a scream, so instead of those being ignored, instead it will be recognized because they are always recognized. And this may work if you have a custom punctuation group, and there should be pause mode like pause longer on paragraph, and pause longer on; and paragraph pause

Very good, easy to use

Very good typing/tutorial/learn/practice app. Easy to use. Simple layout. Works with external bluetooth keyboard. Has audio/voice feedback/guidance.

5 Stars. Thanks Devs!

The Latest Update

I loved this app before the update. The latest update has made it impossible to delete users from the app and you can’t change the voice in the settings.

Needs a timed typing test.

This app would be perfect if it had a timed typing test, like in Talking Typing Teacher. I really enjoyed using that program and being told how many words I'd typed, how many were incorrect, my WPM, and my overall score. Could someone please update this app to include this important feature ASAP? If so, I'll definitely give it 5 stars!

VoiceOver bug

This app has the potential to be amazing! Currently iOS 12.1 and Talking Typer v 1.7, has a significant VoiceOver bug. When VoiceOver is running, the player cannot type in the textfield. If VoiceOver is turned off, the player can type (as the words are self-voicing); however, the player who cannot see is not able to independently select the Start/Stop button when VoiceOver is turned off. When VoiceOver is turned off, the paired refreshable braille display cannot work with this game. (Talking Typer with a braille display is a great way to practice braille skills. Talking Typer would be a fun way to practice spelling words too: teachers can create Customized lessons using Kindergarten sight words or spelling words
