Type the Word is a free, ad-free web app for typing Scripture verse by verse, so you slow down and stay with every word.^1 Josh Wootonn, a design engineer, built it after RSI pushed him onto a split keyboard and months of typing the Psalms. Monkeytype helped him rebuild speed, but he wanted that daily focus on God's Word instead of random quotes, so he made a quieter place to type through the Bible.^2 You choose a passage in the translation you trust, type it in full or in a first-letter or missing-word recall mode, and follow book and chapter progress along with speed and accuracy over time.^1
A dozen translations are listed, including ESV, NIV, KJV, CSB, NIRV, and the German Elberfelder Bible.^4 A Passage of the Day challenge offers weekday Scripture typing with an optional reminder email.^5
For Christian schools, Type the Word assigns Bible typing through classroom tools such as Google Classroom, with teacher views of completion, accuracy, and words per minute.^7 Individual use stays free and donation-supported; the classroom program is subscription-based.^8 The about page commits to Bible and biblical texts only, remaining ad-free, and treating your data as yours.^2
