Touch typing is the ability to type quickly and accurately without having to look down at the keyboard – a valuable skill for anybody who uses a keyboard to study, work or play. Your library membership gives you free access to KAZ Online, a learning tool that helps you to train your brain so that touch typing becomes automatic. No more having to ‘hunt and peck’ for each letter!

KAZ uses a unique ‘accelerated learning’ teaching method, engaging sight, sound and touch simultaneously, to enhance memory retention and recall.

The course is presented in a structured but light-hearted manner in order to make learning fun and enjoyable.

The program offers both spoken and written instruction. Developed with guidance from the British Dyslexia Research Trust, KAZ is suitable for everyone, but also offers dyslexia-friendly functionalities, minimising visual stress by allowing each individual to set preferences for visibility comfort.

Users can choose between the Junior and Adult versions. Links to KAZ can be found on the library Lifelong Learning page, and also on the E-resources for parents and children page.
