Instead of TIPP10
TIPP10 alternatives
TIPP10 offers a structured route into touch typing: its 20 sequential lessons introduce keyboard characters and revisit letters you mistype. Learners can build lessons, choose open topics, or load their own text for dictation. Printable reports, speed and error statistics, lesson history, and a trend diagram help track progress. It supports English and German and several keyboard layouts across Linux, macOS, Windows, and the web. The online version is the maker’s recommended option because its downloadable desktop software is no longer maintained; the macOS download does not work from Catalina onward.

A different tutor may be a better fit if you want a layout editor, live duels, game-led practice, or classroom tools. Compare how lessons are organized, which languages and layouts are supported, and whether you need custom text or specialized exercises such as code practice. Platform matters too: some alternatives here are desktop-only, while TypeTastic is web and mobile. TIPP10 is free, with a paid option from €15 per year, so compare any subscription cost and the kind of practice you will actually use before switching.
