Keybr.com is a web application that will help you learn touch typing with a new method. Their tutorial is based on these few principles:

• No boring, repetitive exercises. Unlike most other typing tutors, keybr does not force you to repeat the same lessons over and over again.
• Keybr uses sophisticated computer algorithm to generate typing lessons matching your skills. These lessons consists of random words generated from a subset of the current alphabet. The size of the subset and individual letter frequency is controlled by the algorithm to give you the best learning experience.
• keybr measures time to type a key for every letter in that subset. This time is used to measure your learning progress. The more familiar you become with a key, the shorter time it takes to type it.
• Once you familiarize yourself with the current subset of letters, the algorithm expands it, including more and more letters to it.
• As soon as the algorithm includes new letters to the current subset, frequency of these letters is artificially boosted, so that the newly added letters will appear in every generated word in a lesson.
• So at any time, you will by typing the letters you are least familiar with.
