Are there any good typing tutor applications available for 11.04?

did you already search "typing" in the Ubuntu Software Center? It comes up with a couple of them. – steabert Mar 27 '11 at 17:13

This isn't a tutor, but it surely tests you: sudo apt-get install typespeed – Peter.O Mar 28 '11 at 13:53

Klavaro(Click to install)

Klavaro is a simple tutor to teach correct typing, almost independently of language and very flexible regarding to new or unknown keyboard layouts. Its key features are: * Internationalization * Ready to use keyboard layouts * Keyboard layout editor * Basic course * Adaptability, velocity and fluidness exercises * Progress charts.

I have been happy with Klavaro. It is better than previous tutors I have tried.

OMG! Words!

enter image description here

OMG! Words! is free, cheesy and somewhat addictive. Better still it’s easy to play.If you have an internet connection OMG! Words! will pull glean a list of words from recent posts for you to ‘battle’ against (If you don’t have an internet connection then it just uses magic).

From OMG!Ubuntu!

Installation

Add the PPAs ppa:tommybrunn/omgwords and ppa:bartbes/love-stable to your Software Sources (Here's how to do that) and install omgwords from the Software Center.

I would recommend Tipp10. It's a really good program.

ktouch is a great application for this purpose.

There are also a quick game named tux typing :-)

For my purpose I use this program with wine. Maybe work with natty. Is available also in english language. Is not GPL.
