## What is Typingo?

Typingo turns knowledge into typing practice. Browse 15,000+ curated items across six topics — Language, Wisdom, Literature, Code, Civics, Music — and type your way through them.

# Type any knowledge

HSK Chinese (1–6), JLPT Japanese (N5–N1), 教育漢字, NGSL English, Shakespeare sonnets, Stoic philosophers, K-pop lyrics, world constitutions, famous speeches. New tracks added often.

# Six topics, six rails

• Language — HSK, JLPT, NGSL, SAT, TOEIC, Suneung, Joyo Kanji, Hanja
• Wisdom — Stoics, Greek philosophers, Eastern wisdom, 고사성어, 사자성어, 속담
• Literature — Aozora classics, Korean modern poems, Shakespeare's sonnets, 백인일수, 시조
• Code — bash, regex, HTML, CSS, SQL, Vim, Git, Python idioms
• Civics — World constitutions (US, UK, Japan, France, Korea, India, Italy, Spain), American speeches
• Music — Lyrics from 91 artists across K-pop, J-pop, Latin, R&B, Indie, Singer-Songwriter

# Three ways to learn

• Type — the classic loop
• Speak — listen, type, speak, hear yourself, speak again (STT-backed)
• Handwrite — draw kanji / hanja / 汉字 on a PencilKit canvas, Vision recognizes your strokes

# Review & remember

Spaced repetition brings each item back right before you'd forget it. A "Due for Review" queue on the home screen tells you exactly what to practice today — type, write, or speak it to push it further out.

# Write by hand, stroke by stroke

Watch an animated stroke-order guide for any kanji / hanja / 汉字, then practice three ways: trace the strokes, copy from the outline, or write from memory. Your repetitions are counted and tracked.

# Daily Challenge

One item picked deterministically per day, same item worldwide. Two minutes is enough.

# Bookmark anything

Long-press to pin a track. Tap the star on any item to bookmark a specific kanji, line, or quote — they all surface in a Saved Items rail you can drill on demand.

# Track progress

Level, daily goal ring, 7-day streak strip, achievements (35+ badges), mastered-stage celebrations, full-screen graduation moments when you finish an entire track.

# Local, private, no signup

No account. No analytics SDK. Your progress lives only on your device. Practice reminders are optional and run via the system's local notifications.
