Typio was built by a special education instructor (MSEd., COMS, CVRT, CATIS) to meet the needs of students and teachers. Typio empowers students for independent learning, allowing teachers be as hands-off or hands-on as they’d like.

Set student typing goals and individualize their settings, providing them with a fun and accessible platform that meets their unique needs.

With Accessibyte School Edition teachers can remotely send students custom lessons, chart their progress, watch typing replays, manage student settings and so much more.

Braille Mode is a feature unique to Typio. This mode turns Typio into a braille typing tutor. Students can use either their Typing Pet or Basic Modes to learn to type braille.

When Braille Mode is enabled, the standard keyboard acts as a braille input. The F, D, S, J, K, L keys represent the braille dots.

Typing tutorials, lessons and games are automatically switched to a braille curriculum, featuring 50 included lessons ranging from the alphabet, to numbers and punctuation. Braille contractions can be used as well.
