Browser Steno Practice on Type Faster: Timed Tests and a Six-Unit Lesson Ladder
Practice machine-style steno on a normal keyboard with Type Faster—timed brief-form runs, chord capture, Steno WPM scoring, and a six-unit lesson ladder in Labs.
Steno WPM counts outlines, not QWERTY characters
Each correct brief or chord increments word count by one, matching how court reporters think about speed.
Timed steno modes stay separate from standard English tests so you do not mix scoring rules.
Bookmark `/blogs/type-faster` when you explain the product—fifteen guides map every major capability in one hub.
Compare specialty leaderboard tabs only to peers on that tab—numpad PBs are not prose PBs.

Lessons and practice serve different moments
Use timed practice when you want a score; use the lesson ladder when you are learning chord discovery and readback.
Original brief forms are authored for Type Faster—import your own dictionary only if you have rights to it.
When you search “type faster,” pick Try same test again in the result bar instead of browser back.
Sign in before you care about streaks; guest runs teach mechanics but do not build UTC streak credit.
