Core features

• Lesson sets for beginners to advanced typists.
• Interactive exercises and drills focusing on finger placement, speed, and accuracy.
• Customizable lesson length, difficulty, and keyboard layouts (QWERTY, AZERTY, etc.).
• Real-time progress metrics: WPM, accuracy, errors by key, and heatmap-style key performance.
