We want everyone to be able to learn to type with Typingo, including people who use assistive technology, prefer less motion or need larger text. This statement describes how accessible the site is and how to tell us about problems.
Our target
We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at level AA. Every page template is checked with automated accessibility testing (axe-core) and by hand with a keyboard and a screen reader.
What you can do
- Use the whole site with a keyboard alone. A “Skip to content” link is the first thing on every page, and focus is always visible.
- Use a screen reader: controls have names, results are announced, and the on-screen keyboard (a visual aid) is hidden from assistive technology.
- Zoom text up to 200% without losing content, on screens down to 320 pixels wide.
- Hide the on-screen keyboard, turn sounds off, or use full-screen focus mode to reduce distractions.
- Rely on more than colour: mistakes are underlined as well as coloured, and fingers are named as well as colour-coded.
- Turn on “reduce motion” in your device settings to switch off animations.
- Take your time: lessons have no timer until the short check at the end, and the timer only starts on your first key press.
Known limitations
- Touch typing is learned on a physical keyboard; phones and tablets without one can read the lessons but not practise.
- The course teaches the US QWERTY layout. Other layouts can type, but the finger guidance may not match.
- Adverts are provided by third parties and may not always meet the same standard.
- Older articles may have images without full descriptions; we fix these when we find them.
Feedback and help
If something is hard to use, or you need information in a different format, please tell us at support@typingo.net or through the contact form. Tell us the page, what you were trying to do and the assistive technology you use. We aim to reply within two working days.
