Ghost Type encompasses a series of typing lessons aimed at enhancing both typing speed and accuracy on an iPad. Its unique ghosting keyboard feature assists users in memorizing the layout of the iPad keyboard by displaying letters until typing begins. The keys fade out as accurate letters are typed and return upon pausing, with customizable fade-in speeds for personalized learning experiences. This app is landscape mode only and compatible with external keyboards.

The lesson structure mirrors traditional typing programs known from desktop environments. Characters light up as typed; the current character turns green for correct input while mistakes are highlighted in red. Alongside performance analytics such as elapsed time, average words per minute (WPM), and accuracy percentage, users can gauge their improvement effectively. Many will find that enhancing speed and accuracy on an iPad keyboard is achievable with practice.

Testimonials emphasize the app's effectiveness: "The ghost keyboard is a great idea... Teachers will really love that," remarks Richard, an Australian Teacher. Another user notes, "As a touch typist on a standard keyboard... Ghost Type has already retuned my brain to be faster and more accurate." Critical Analyst describes it as "fun AND educational," awarding it five stars.

A sincere appreciation goes out to the US District for their recent purchase of 1,800 copies. For further engagement, connect with Demografix on social media:
