I'm dyslexic. Eight years into being a developer and I still misspell the same twenty words every day, the way I did at school. Writing a word out ten times never worked. What did work, without anyone planning it, was typing. Twenty years of typing the same words has fixed a handful of them in my fingers in a way handwriting never managed. LexiKey is that on purpose. 1,114 words grouped by the phonics rule behind them, using Orton-Gillingham groupings — the method dyslexia specialists have used for eighty years — so you practise the pattern rather than random text. Type what you see, or switch to listening and type what you hear. Anything you hesitate on comes back until you get it right three times running. It is not a WPM trainer. No timer, no leaderboard, nothing that punishes you for being slow. Free and no account needed — open it and type. I'd particularly like to hear from teachers and SEN staff. The classroom side is what I want to build next and I would rather not guess at it. Happy to be told what's wrong with it.
