• The correct schoolfonts
Accessing the correct school fonts while using Ghost Type is simple and a wide range of fonts including Australian state education fonts, UK, NZ and USA styles are available currently.

Ghost Type contains a series of typing lessons that are aimed at improving both typing speed and accuracy on an iPad and features a unique ghosting keyboard option, aiding the user in memorizing the layout of the iPad keyboard.

Create, save and share your own lessons to suit your own curriculum and year levels, with complete control over the management of the lessons. Use your spelling lists or any other content for your students or child to learn, all while learning iPad typing at the same time.

The Ghost Type keyboard displays the letters until you start typing. Type the correct letter and the keys on the keyboard remain faded out. Pause your typing, and the letters will fade back in. The fade-in speed can be set as very slow, slow, normal, fast and very fast via the settings. You can also turn the Ghost Type keyboard off via the settings and use a ‘partial’ setting. The app is also fully compatible with external keyboards. The app is in landscape mode only and does not support the Apple portrait dock.

• A lockable app
As a parent or teacher you can lock the app into a restricted student mode. When in student mode, lessons cannot be created or deleted and profiles cannot be changed. Other options are available depending on your teacher/parent choices. These include access to the Ghost Write function, home screen options and access to any external links. Fully COPPA compliant.

• Take a Lesson or a Speed Test
The lessons work much like traditional typing programs on computers you may have used when you first learned to type. As you type in the characters, they’ll be lightened out. Your current character will be highlighted in green, while mistyped characters will be highlighted in red. As you type you’ll see the time elapsed, your average words per minute (wpm), and your accuracy percentage.
The aim is to try to type in the words as fast as you can without looking at the virtual keys. Once you finish, your various statistics will be recorded.
You will discover that it’s not that hard to gain speed and accuracy on the iPad keyboard.

“I think the ghost keyboard is a great idea. The look and feel is great and it's pretty intuitive to us. Multiple profiles, locking aspects of app are excellent ideas - teachers will really love that, especially teachers who don't have 1 to 1 iPads.”
Richard, Australian Teacher.

"Congratulations on a great app.. As a touch typist on a standard keyboard it is sometimes a struggle to translate that skill to the iPad, but just a short time on Ghost Type has already retuned my brain to be faster and more accurate than I would have imagined... Anyone using an iPad, adult or child will benefit greatly from this app."

I love cool stuff! ,

TOP MARKS to the developers of this app!! For someone who writes alot of emails and reports but has struggled getting typing speed since migrating to the Ipad this has made a massive difference in only 45mins!! Its intuitive whilst doing the tutoring and the huge list of settings allows me to customise the app to suit me personally. The keys "ghosting" to trigger your memory is a very cool feature and there are a host of other nifty and inventive facets that give this app the leading edge against its peers. This app has covered all bases, and then some! Official school fonts is sure to be a huge hit with educators and parents. Rarely do you see an app that has full functionality from the initial purchase and i was very pleasantly surprised to see the extras that were included! This app is actually additive and having experienced instant improvements in my speed and acuracy I will be telling all my fellow ipad users and even show the "two finger warriors" the path to typing enlightenment!

Thoughtful App

Having two young daughters in primary school, I found this app excellent as I was able to create lessons for their particular school spelling lists. They really enjoy testing out their accuracy against each other and the ability for me to lock the app so that they can not delete the lesson is a great feature. Only after a short time playing with the app, both have improved their typing skills both in speed and accuracy and I can see how I can use this app as a parent for the many tasks that the children bring home from school. I was also pleased to see that I could save the lessons I created to my dropbox account and share them with my other friends who have girls at the same school. Great app and I look forward to more quality apps from demografix.

Brilliant

I love this app. If you find the disappearing keys frustrating, you can set them so that they don't. I think the app is brilliant for learning to touch type on an iPad and is great for single handed typists too. It is possible to use the app with an external keyboard. Very versatile and great for improving speed and accuracy no matter which keyboard you are using.
