TypeByFaith.com is a Bible engagement web application that combines typing, reading, memorization, daily prayer practice, Rhythm Mode, and Verse Songs, Bible passages set to music and sung word-for-word.

Yes, most features require a free account. You can try a demo with Psalm 23 before signing up to experience the typing interface. Once logged in, you'll access verse-by-verse typing, Reading Mode, Memory Verse, Prayers, Verse Songs, and progress tracking. Premium unlocks additional features.

TypeByFaith.com currently offers the King James Version (KJV) as the default translation, plus the American Standard Version (ASV) and the Berean Standard Bible (BSB). All three are public domain translations in the United States. The KJV remains our foundation, and when the ASV or BSB has an empty verse slot because of manuscript differences, Type By Faith automatically displays the KJV reading instead with a small note, so users are never left with a blank passage. You can switch translations at any time from the verse or chapter selection modal. More translations are planned as the platform grows.

Click "Verse-By-Verse" in the navigation menu, then "Select verse." You can search for a reference like John 3:16, search for a word like love, or pick the book, chapter, and verse from the lists. "Random verse" gives you a passage without choosing one. Chapter-by-Chapter works the same way through "Select chapter."

Every verse and chapter selector opens with a search box. Type a reference such as John 3:16, Psalm 23, or 1 Cor 13 to go straight to it. Abbreviations and partial book names work, and a book name on its own, like Philippians, lists all of its chapters.

You can also search by words. love, fear not, or the lord is my shepherd all find the passages that contain them, with the best known verses first and your search term highlighted in each result.

Search covers the translation you have selected. Translations word things differently, so when another one has a match yours does not, those results appear in an "Also in KJV" section below your own. Choosing one opens the passage in the translation you are already using, so you still type the version you picked.

While you are typing, you do not need the full selector at all. Click "Change Passage" under the passage title and a search box opens right there. "Browse by book" is still one click away if you would rather pick from the lists.

We calculate typing speed in words per minute (WPM) based on the standard definition of a word as 5 characters. Accuracy is calculated as the percentage of correctly typed characters compared to the total characters in the passage.

Most TypeByFaith.com features require a physical keyboard, but our Reading Mode is fully mobile-friendly — no keyboard needed! Reading Mode is free for all logged-in users and lets you read Scripture with auto-scroll, time tracking, and word highlighting on any phone or tablet. For typing features, we recommend using a desktop computer or laptop.

Reading Mode is a free feature for all logged-in users, designed for focused, immersive Bible reading. Scripture auto-scrolls with word-by-word highlighting at your chosen speed (100-600 WPM). Track your daily reading time, adjust the font size, toggle highlighting on or off, and navigate seamlessly between chapters, books, and testaments. It's our first fully mobile-friendly feature — works on phones and tablets without a keyboard. Perfect for traditional Bible readers who want a distraction-free digital reading experience.

Prayers is a guided prayer feature that helps you build a daily habit grounded in Scripture. Free users can complete up to 2 prayers per day, and Premium members have unlimited daily prayers. Prayer completions are tracked in your activity stats.

Yes! We offer a dedicated School Dashboard for Christian schools and private institutions. Teachers can manage rosters, assign curriculum (Verses, Chapters, Prayers, Tests, Verse Songs), and track grading automatically. We support schools of all sizes, up to 1,000+ seats. For requirements larger than 1,000 seats, please contact us for a custom enterprise arrangement.

Absolutely. Our school plans start at just 4 seats, making them perfect for homeschool families or small co-ops. You get the same powerful "Teacher Dashboard" features (grading, assignments, and report cards) at an affordable price tailored for smaller groups.

The Teacher Dashboard is your command center. You can generate student accounts in bulk (no emails required), create assignments with due dates, view a live gradebook, and print PDF report cards. You can specify exactly what students should type, from specific verses to entire chapters, and let the system handle the grading.

Yes. We take student privacy seriously. Student accounts created via the School Dashboard do not require email addresses. They log in with a unique School Code, Username, and Password. This ensures full compliance with COPPA and keeps your students' identity secure.

Yes. The license owner can add sub-teacher accounts from the School Dashboard. Sub-teachers log in with the same School Code as students but get teacher-level access to the roster, groups, assignments, gradebook, and reports. Each sub-teacher uses one seat from the same shared pool as students (a 100-seat license could be 95 students + 5 sub-teachers, or any other mix).

One thing to plan for: a license is a shared workspace, so every sub-teacher sees the whole school rather than only their own class. Filter the roster by group to focus on one class.

A few actions stay with the license owner: billing and the seat count, adding or removing sub-teachers, permanently deleting a student, and changing Class Settings. Sub-teachers can see Class Settings so they know what their students have, and they can deactivate a student, which frees the seat and keeps all of that student's work.

No. Each student signs in to their own dashboard and sees only their own assigned work and their own progress. Students cannot open another student's account, scores, or reports. The one place a classmate's name appears is a Type Together session, where everyone typing the same passage sees display names and a results list at the end. Those sessions are limited to students on the same teacher's roster, and the license owner can turn Type Together off for the whole school from Class Settings.

Yes, and it is usually the better choice. One license covers your whole school under a single school code. Inside it you create groups from the Groups tab of your School Dashboard, for example "4th Grade" and "5th Grade". You can assign work to one group without affecting the others, and filter your gradebook and progress reports by group, so each teacher sees their own class. Buying a separate license per grade costs more, because the per-seat price falls as the total seat count rises, and it splits your school across two codes and two dashboards.

From the Roster tab, choose Bulk Import CSV. Download the template, fill it in, and upload it back, or copy your rows straight out of Excel, Numbers, or Google Sheets and paste them in. Either way works. The format is one student per line: name, an optional username, and an optional class.

Because the class sits on each row, a single import can seat several grades at once. Any class that does not exist yet is created for you, so a list containing "4th Grade" and "5th Grade" builds both groups and files every student into the right one. If everyone belongs in the same class instead, pick it once from the dropdown in the import dialog and leave the class column empty.

Usernames are generated automatically wherever you leave that column blank, and no student needs an email address.

As soon as you create accounts, the dashboard lists every student's username and password together with your school code, which is the first thing they enter when signing in. Use Copy All or Download CSV to save the whole set at once, and both include the school code so nothing is missing when you print it.

Passwords cannot be viewed again after you close that screen, which is deliberate. If a student loses theirs, use Reset Password on their roster row to issue a new one.

Yes to both. A student can belong to several groups at once, for example a grade plus a reading group, up to ten.

To change one student, open the menu on their roster row and choose Manage Groups. To move a whole set of students, tick them in the roster and use Add to group or Remove from group. The Groups column shows where everyone currently sits, and the chips above the roster filter it to one group at a time.

From the Roster tab, use Add Student for one at a time. Enter a display name; a username is generated for you unless you type one. The password is shown once when the account is created, so save or print it before closing.

Each student account uses one seat. Your own owner account does not use a seat. If you are at your seat limit you will be told to add seats or deactivate someone before you can add another.

Roster tab, Bulk Import. Paste or upload rows of Student Name, Username, Group. Username is optional and is generated when left blank. Any group names in the third column onwards are created as groups automatically, and a preview shows exactly what will be created before you commit.

Save the passwords when the import finishes. They are shown once, on that screen. The roster export does not contain passwords, because they are stored hashed and cannot be read back. If they are lost you can reset a student's password individually from the roster.

Groups are your classes. Create them on the Groups tab, for example "4th Grade" and "5th Grade", or one per teacher. A student can belong to more than one group.

Groups do three things: they filter your roster, they let you assign work to one class without touching the others, and they filter your reports. In a school where several teachers share one licence, groups are what keep each teacher looking at their own class.

Assignments tab, then Create Assignment. The wizard walks through four steps: choose the type, choose the content, choose who gets it, then set the due date, points and any performance requirements.

You can target one or more groups, and optionally include students who are not in any group. Save it as a draft to finish later, or publish it straight away. Students see published assignments on their dashboard immediately.

Nine types, all graded automatically: verses, chapters, timed tests, lessons, memory verses, reading time, Rhythm Mode, prayers, and Verse Songs.

For typed passages you can also require a minimum words-per-minute or accuracy before the work counts as complete. Leave completion only ticked if you just want the work done.

Every assignment has a points value, set when you create it and editable afterwards. Completed work is scored automatically out of those points and appears in the gradebook. Set points to 0 for practice you do not want counted; it still shows as complete but does not affect any average.

You can override any automatic score by hand. Open the Gradebook, click the student's cell for that assignment, and enter a score and optional feedback.

The Gradebook tab shows students down the side and assignments across the top. Each cell is that student's score out of the assignment's points.

Cells read: a score for completed work, a percentage for work in progress, MISSING in red when the due date has passed with nothing submitted, and a grey dash when the assignment was never given to that student. Grey dashes never count for or against anyone, which is how several classes share one gradebook without affecting each other's averages.

MISSING scores 0 and is included in the average, the same as a zero you entered yourself. Work that is not due yet is not marked missing and stays out of the average until its due date passes. If you delete an assignment, it leaves the gradebook and stops counting for everyone.

Click a student’s cell to grade it by hand; grey dashes are not clickable, because that work was never assigned to them. Use the term selector to narrow the view, and the column limit if you have many assignments.

Terms are your grading periods, for example "Fall 2026". They are optional. With no term selected the gradebook shows all current work.

Create them with Manage Terms in the gradebook toolbar. A term runs from the start of its first day to the end of its last day, so an assignment due at 11:59 PM on the final day is still inside it. Marking a term as current makes it the default for reports.

Yes. Open the assignment and click Edit. You can change the title, due date, points, the completion or performance requirements, and whether Word Assist is allowed. Editing does not disturb work students have already done.

The assignment type, its content and who it is assigned to cannot be changed, because students may already be part way through and moving the goalposts would corrupt their progress. To change any of those, archive the assignment and create a new one.

A draft can be published at any time with the Publish button in its detail view.

Activity rather than grades, over the last day, week, month or quarter: words per minute, accuracy, active days, and counts for verses, reading minutes, timed tests, prayers, memory verses, lessons, Rhythm Mode and Verse Songs, alongside all-time totals. Filter by group to see one class, and click any column heading to sort by it.

Open a student's report card to see their assignment scores and term average alongside their activity; pick the grading term at the top of that window. For whole-class exports, the Scores from picker beside the download buttons chooses which term's scores are included. Set either to No term for an activity-only report. PDF and CSV both match what you picked.

Owner only, from the Sub-Teachers tab. Each sub-teacher uses one seat from the same pool as students, and signs in with the same school code plus their own username and password.

Sub-teachers can manage the roster, groups, assignments, the gradebook and reports. Billing, seat counts, adding or removing sub-teachers, permanently deleting a student, and Class Settings stay with the owner account.

Owner only. Use Adjust Seats on the dashboard. Adding seats takes effect immediately and you pay only the pro-rated difference for the rest of your term. Reducing seats takes effect at your next renewal, and you cannot reduce below the number of accounts you currently have active.

To free a seat without losing anything, deactivate a student rather than deleting them. Their work is kept and they can be switched back on later. Deleting is permanent.

Owner-only switches that apply to every student on your licence. Type Together lets students type the same passage live with their classmates. Word Assist offers typing help as they go. Verse Card Downloads lets them save a verse image after typing, and is off by default.

Sub-teachers can see these settings so they know what their students have, but only the owner can change them.

At typebyfaith.com/login, on the Student tab, with three things: your school code, their username, and their password. No email address is involved at any point.

Your school code is shown at the top of your dashboard. Sessions last 24 hours, so on a shared or kiosk device students simply sign in again with the same three details.

Five steps, in this order, and the whole thing takes about fifteen minutes for one class.

1. Make your groups. On the Groups tab create one per class, for example "4th Grade". Doing this first means you can drop students straight into the right group as you add them.

2. Add your students. On the Roster tab, use Bulk Import for a whole class or Add Student for one. Save the passwords when they appear. They are shown once and cannot be read back.

3. Hand out the logins. Students need three things: your school code, their username and their password. Use Copy All or Download CSV, both of which include the school code.

4. Set one assignment. Assignments tab, Create Assignment. Pick a short verse for the first one so you can watch a result arrive.

5. Check the Gradebook. Scores land there automatically as students work. Nothing else needs setting up. Grading terms are optional, but create one when you want assignment scores to appear on a student's report card.

You sign in on the Student tab at the login page using the same school code as your students, plus your own username and password. You land on the teacher dashboard, not a student one.

You can add and edit students, create and manage groups, create assignments and edit them, grade work in the Gradebook, view and download reports and report cards, reset a student's password, and deactivate a student if they leave, which frees their seat and keeps their work.

Only the licence owner can change billing or the seat count, add or remove sub-teachers, permanently delete a student, and change Class Settings. You can see Class Settings so you know what your students have, but the toggles are read-only for you.

You see the whole school's roster, because one licence covers everyone. Use the group filter on the Gradebook and Reports tabs to narrow it to your own class.

The message on screen tells you which of these it is.

"Invalid school code" means the code is wrong or was typed with the wrong characters. It is on your dashboard next to Student Access Code, and you can click it to copy.

"Invalid username or password" means the code was right but the account details were not. Check the username on the Roster tab, and use Reset Password if needed.

"Account is deactivated" means the student was deactivated, which happens when a seat was freed. Reactivate them from the roster if a seat is available.

"Too many login attempts" means five wrong tries in a row. The account unlocks itself after thirty minutes, and resetting the password does not skip the wait.

"School license is inactive" means the licence has lapsed. Students cannot sign in until it is active again.

Usually one of three things.

They did different work. An assignment is satisfied by the specific content you chose. Typing a different verse, or a different lesson, does not count toward it. Open the assignment to see exactly what was set.

They did not meet a requirement. If you set a minimum words-per-minute or accuracy, the work counts as in progress and shows a percentage rather than a score until they reach it. You can lower or remove the requirement by editing the assignment.

They worked before it was assigned. Progress counts from the moment an assignment is published, so work done earlier does not fill it in.

If none of those fit, you can always click the cell and enter a score by hand.

Open one from the Reports tab, or from the pencil icon beside a student in the Gradebook. It has two halves.

Assignment scores. Pick a grading term at the top and you get that term's average, how many assignments were completed and missing, and a table of every assignment with its score out of the points you set. Without a term selected this half is skipped, because scores belong to a term.

Rows marked Missing are shown in red as a 0 out of the points available, because that is how they count toward the average. The report card and the Gradebook always agree; if a student is MISSING in one, they are Missing in the other.

Both halves appear in the PDF and CSV downloads too, so a printed copy says the same thing as the screen.

Activity. Verses typed, reading minutes, lessons, timed tests, prayers, memory practice, Rhythm Mode and Verse Songs over the range you choose, with a day-by-day breakdown. Days with no activity are collapsed and counted at the bottom of the table rather than printed as empty rows.

Counts include every session, so retries are counted again. Unique verse and memorized totals are shown separately as all-time figures.

Nothing happens automatically, which is deliberate. Your roster, assignments and grades stay exactly as they are until you change them.

For students who are leaving, use Deactivate rather than delete. It frees the seat for next year's intake and keeps all of that student's work and history. Deleting is permanent and removes their progress.

Download anything you want to keep first. Report cards export as PDF or CSV from the Reports tab, for one student or the whole class.

For the new year, create a fresh grading term from Manage Terms and mark it current, then archive last year's assignments so the Gradebook stays readable. Archived work still counts in its own term.

Find them on the Roster tab and use Reset Password. A new password is shown once, for you to give to the student. You do not need their old one.

After several wrong attempts a student account is locked for a short period as a security measure. If that happens, resetting the password and waiting for the lock to clear will get them back in.

Whichever account completes the purchase becomes the owner account. It controls billing and the seat count, adds and removes sub-teachers, and includes full premium access whether or not it is used for teaching. If your administrator would rather keep billing on their side, they can purchase under their own account and add teachers as sub-teachers. It is worth deciding this before you build your roster, because student accounts belong to the account that created them, so starting under the wrong account means entering them again.

Verse Songs are Bible passages (KJV) set to music and sung word-for-word. As each song plays, you type the exact words of Scripture karaoke-style, right along with the singing. Because the lyrics are the verse itself, every play helps hide God's Word in your heart, and each play counts toward your daily streak.

Every song can be played three ways. In Type the Words, you type each word in its moment as it is sung — each word is graded Miss (nothing typed), Good (the first letter), Great (half the word), or Perfect (the whole word). In Easy — First Letters, you type just the first letter of each word, scored Perfect or Miss — great for beginners and young typists. In Freestyle there is nothing to type at all: the lyrics glow by as they are sung and every key on your keyboard plays a note or drum tuned to the song, so you can simply play along. You can also preview any song from the songbook before you choose it, and pick a Relaxed or Slow song speed in the typing modes. There are no levels or unlocks; the songs you keep coming back to are the verses that stay with you.

Type By Faith features original music created with AI technology, with each Verse Song singing a Bible passage word-for-word. This allows us to provide high-quality scripture music without licensing costs, keeping TypeByFaith.com affordable and accessible to everyone.

The songbook has 24 Verse Songs, including John 3:16, Psalm 23, Proverbs 3:5-6, Philippians 4:13, Romans 8:28, Isaiah 40:31, and more. Premium members can play the entire songbook every day.

Free accounts get the Song of the Week — a new verse song every Monday with unlimited plays and all three play modes. There are no daily play caps in Verse Songs. Premium unlocks the entire 24-song songbook, any day you like.

For the best audio experience, we recommend using Chrome or a Chromium-based browser (like Edge or Brave). If you're on Safari or Firefox and experience timing issues, switching browsers often resolves them. Make sure your volume is up and no other audio is playing.

Rhythm Mode is a musical typing game. Notes fall down the screen in time with a worship song and you type them as they land, the way a classic rhythm game works but with your keyboard instead of a controller. Every song is original worship music written from a Scripture passage, and the words you are typing are the words being sung.

Every song sits on one road that you scroll through. Hover over any song and a few seconds of it start playing, so you can listen your way along the road instead of opening each one to find out what it sounds like. Click a song to choose Easy, Medium or Hard, and that choice starts it.

63 songs on a single road, grouped into eight acts that run from a blind man at the roadside through to the throne room. Songs inside an act are ordered to be played in sequence, but nothing is locked. You can play any song on the road today, in any order, from the moment you arrive. Free accounts can complete one song a day; Premium has no daily limit.

Playing a song through to the end marks it and moves you on, so if you only ever want to play, the road keeps up with you. Listening to the Scripture passage the song was written from is the second part, and a song that has both turns gold. The passage is offered on the results screen the moment the song finishes, which is the easiest place to take it, and it stays available from the song on the road for as long as you like. That second part is what keeps the game tied to God's Word rather than being a typing game with a worship soundtrack.

The readings vary a good deal in length, because the passages do. If one is longer than you have time for, the speed control on the player runs it from 0.75x up to 1.5x and remembers what you chose, so you can hear the whole passage in about two thirds of the time. You do not have to sit through the last few seconds for it to count either.

Every song can be played on Easy, Medium or Hard, and you choose the level each time you start. Easy uses far fewer notes than Hard on the same song, so a song that feels impossible on one level is often very playable on another. Each level carries its own difficulty rating, worked out from how dense the notes are and how much your hands have to move, so you can pick a level that matches your typing rather than guessing.

They measure two different things. The stars shown before you play, next to Easy, Medium and Hard, are how hard that level is, out of five. The stars shown after you play, on the song back on the road, are how well you did, out of three. A hard song you have not played yet will show a high difficulty rating and no performance stars at all.

Normally, if your focus meter runs out the song ends early. Turn No Fail on and the song always plays through to the end: running out locks your score multiplier instead, until ten clean hits in a row bring it back. It is off by default, because finishing a song you could have lost is most of the reward. Turn it on from the switch above the road whenever you want a run that cannot end early.

In a school, this one is the teacher's. Students can see whether No Fail is on for their class but cannot change it themselves; the licence owner sets it for everybody from the Class Settings card.

Every device adds a small delay of its own between the sound leaving the speakers and the picture reaching the screen, and Bluetooth headphones add a great deal more. Open Settings from the road and run the calibration: you play along to a short song, and the timing adjusts to match your device. It is worth doing once on each device you play on, and again if you switch between speakers and wireless headphones.

Chrome, Edge and other Chromium browsers give the most reliable timing. If you are on Safari or Firefox and the notes drift from the music, switching browsers usually fixes it. Also check that your volume is up and that nothing else on the device is playing audio at the same time. If the timing is steady but simply feels off, run the calibration above rather than switching browsers.

Race Mode is a competitive typing feature where you race against Bible character opponents like Moses, King David, Queen Esther, Apostle Paul, Mary, Abraham, Ruth, and Peter. The opponent adapts to your typing speed using our "Elastic Rival" system, so races are competitive regardless of whether you type 20 WPM or 100 WPM. Collect power-up items during the race to boost yourself or slow down your opponent.

Free users can race 2 times per day. Premium members have unlimited races with no daily limit. Race Mode is available in both verse-by-verse and timed test modes.

Mystery boxes appear throughout the passage as you type. When you type past one, you collect a random power-up item. Press Spacebar to use your item. Available items include:

• Speed Boost: Auto-types a small burst of characters for you
• Rocket Boost: Auto-types a bigger burst (great for catching up)
• Freeze: Stops your opponent from moving briefly
• Sands of Time: Slows your opponent's typing speed
• Knockback: Removes some of your opponent's progress
• Shield: Blocks the next Freeze, Slow, or Knockback attack

The item system uses "rubber-banding" — the person behind gets better items, keeping races exciting until the finish line.

Our "Elastic Rival" system tracks your typing speed in real-time and adjusts the opponent accordingly. The race has three phases:

• Opening (0-25%): Opponent starts slower to build your confidence
• Challenge (25-70%): Dynamic back-and-forth tension
• Sprint (70-100%): Dramatic finish with suspenseful outcomes

The opponent also has human-like behaviors like brief hesitations and surges, making it feel like you're racing a real person. Races are designed to be close, so every race feels competitive.

Click the checkered flag icon next to the settings gear on any typing page. Choose your character, then choose who you want to race against. Click "Begin Race" and get ready for the countdown!

Press On lets you set a Scripture goal and a time to finish it in. Pick a chapter, a short book, or a custom verse range, choose how long you have, and a progress bar tracks how much you have typed against how much time is left. It is designed for finishing something in one sitting rather than chipping away at it over days. You will find it on the typing page, in the row of small icons above your stats.

Goals always end at midnight your time, so the longest possible goal is however much of today is left. The shortest is 3 minutes. That is deliberate: your daily streak already rewards coming back tomorrow, so Press On is for right now. If you want a goal that spans days, your streak is the feature for that.

It measures the passage and compares it to your recent typing speed, then offers three windows: Comfortable, Steady and Push. If you have typed a few passages recently it uses those; otherwise it assumes a typical pace until it has enough of your history. You can always set your own time instead.

Nothing is lost. Every verse you typed is saved exactly as if you had typed it without a goal, and you are shown how far you got. You can carry straight on to finish the rest, or set a fresh goal for what is left. There is no penalty for missing a goal.

You can pause a goal for up to 10 minutes in total, then the clock picks up again. You can also end a goal at any time, which never breaks your streak. Press On is available to everyone at no extra cost. Free accounts still have the usual 5 verses per day, so if a goal needs more verses than you have left today, it tells you before you start rather than stopping you partway.

Type Together is a real-time multiplayer feature that lets up to 4 people type the same Scripture passage at the same moment. Everyone sees each other's progress live as floating avatars move through the verse. It works in two contexts:

• Friends and individual users — one person hosts and shares a 6-character code; anyone with the code can join.
• Classrooms on a School License — any student can host, and their classmates see the open session in a live list inside the app. No codes, no sharing links — only students on the same teacher's roster can see or join each other.

Type Together (practice) lets everyone type side-by-side with no pressure. The host can configure settings like Stop on Error, Ignore Case, and Skip Punctuation. When everyone finishes, you see each player's WPM, accuracy, and errors.

Race Mode adds competition with a countdown, mystery boxes with power-ups, and a ranked leaderboard at the end. Stop on Error is always on in races. The host can optionally enable Type Assist to auto-advance symbols and accept any letter case.

Each session supports up to 4 players (1 host + 3 others). The host controls the verse selection, session mode, and typing rules. After everyone finishes, the host can choose the next verse, replay the same one, pick a random verse, or change the settings.

No. Type Together is available to all logged-in users. Free users are still subject to their daily verse limit, so a session may end if the limit is reached. School students always have unlimited access as part of their teacher's School License.

Click "Type Together" in the navigation menu, then choose "Host a Session." Pick your display name, choose a Bible character avatar, select a verse, and choose your session mode (Type Together for side-by-side practice, or Race Mode for competition). Share the 6-character code with your friends so they can join.

Click "Type Together" in the navigation, then choose "Join a Session." Enter the 6-character code your friend shared, pick your name and avatar, and click "Join Session." You can also join by pasting a link that contains the session code.

School students don't use 6-character codes. A student taps "Type Together," then chooses "Host a Session" to start one, or "Join a Classmate" to see a live list of classmates who are currently hosting. Only students under the same teacher's license appear in that list. When a classmate opens or closes a session, everyone else's list updates instantly.

No. Type Together sessions created by school students are automatically scoped to a single teacher's roster. Students can only host with, join, or see sessions from their own classmates. Students also cannot see or join sessions hosted by regular (non-school) users outside the school, and outside users cannot join school sessions — the isolation is enforced both in the app and at the database level.

Type Together is on by default for every school license. To disable it, go to your School Dashboard, find the "Class Settings" card, and flip the Type Together switch off. The change applies immediately — your students will no longer see Type Together in their navigation or on their typing page. Flipping it back on restores access without any additional setup.

Bible Trivia is a presenter mode for premium users designed for groups — host a trivia round for your family, Bible study, Sunday school class, or Facebook live audience. The page shows one big question on screen with a countdown; when time's up the answer is revealed alongside the verse it came from and a brief explanation. No clicking-to-pick, no scoring, no leaderboards — the audience answers out loud.

994 verified questions covering all 66 books of the Bible, mixed across multiple-choice, short-answer, and fill-in-the-blank formats. Every question went through an independent verification pass before being added.

Yes. From the start screen tap "Pick a Book" to see all 66 books grouped by Old and New Testament with a question count for each. Useful for groups doing a sequential book study — "this week we're on Romans" — so the trivia matches what you're already focused on. You can change books mid-session via the toolbar chip.

Yes — there's a fullscreen toggle in the top-right of the trivia page. The question text, options, and countdown ring scale up so the screen is readable from across a room or in a Zoom / Facebook live broadcast. Works on any browser that supports the Fullscreen API (most desktops and tablets).

Pick 15s, 30s (default), 60s, or Manual from the toolbar chips. The countdown ring shows remaining time visually. You can pause and resume any time, or click "Reveal Now" to short-circuit the timer when your group has already answered. In Manual mode there's no timer at all — you reveal whenever you want.

About 43 of the 994 questions hinge on KJV-specific wording. When one of these comes up and your selected translation isn't KJV, a small "References KJV wording" pill appears above the question so you know to either skip it or use it as a teaching moment about translation differences.

Yes. Students under a School License have premium-equivalent access, so they (and their teacher) can host Bible Trivia rounds for the classroom. Great for warmup activities at the start of class or end-of-week review games.

Pray Along is a premium audio prayer experience. Pick one of 10 Scripture-based categories or run fully random, and a prayer plays out loud while every word lights up on screen in time with the audio. Designed for prayer time alone, with family devotions, or in a small group setting.

The regular Prayers feature has you type each prayer to build typing skill while internalizing Scripture. Pray Along has no typing — it's a presenter mode where you listen and follow along with the highlighted words. Both use the same library of prayers, but Pray Along is for the moments you want to pray rather than practice.

200 prayers across 10 categories: Identity & Salvation, Guidance, Health & Strength, Mind & Emotions, Provision, Purpose & Work, Relationships & Family, Repentance, Spiritual Warfare, and Worship & Nearness. Every prayer is recorded with both male and female narration.

Yes. The toolbar at the top of the page has voice chips to choose between male and female narration, and your preference is remembered for future sessions. You can switch mid-prayer too — the current prayer restarts in the new voice.

Yes. Students under a School License have premium-equivalent access, so they (and their teacher) can use Pray Along for classroom devotions or daily prayer time.

Hidden Insights are small, optional gifts layered into the verse-typing experience. When you finish typing a verse that happens to have a matching trivia question, a small "Hidden Insight Unlocked" card appears in the post-completion area. Tap to engage with the question and explanation, or skip with no penalty. Free for all logged-in users.

That's part of the design — we don't tell you in advance. Insights are meant to feel like a discovery, not a checklist. Just keep typing through Scripture and you'll find them along the way.

Open Insights History from the user menu. You'll see a reverse-chronological list of every insight you've encountered — answered, skipped, or revisited. Tap any row to open the question and the verse it came from.

Yes — there's a "Try Again" link on the result screen that re-prompts you with the same question. Your latest answer overwrites the previous one.

No — Hidden Insights are free for all logged-in users, with no daily limits. They're part of the depth of the typing experience, not a paywalled feature. Bible Trivia (the host-led group mode) is the premium feature.

Shepherd's Hub is no longer taking new groups or new members. Groups that already exist keep working exactly as before for their leaders and members. It was built before School Licenses existed, and School Licenses now do the same job better: each person gets their own login, no email addresses are needed, the leader sees everyone's progress from one dashboard, and it starts at 4 seats, which covers a family or a small class. See School & Family plans.

Daily streaks track your consecutive days of typing practice. Complete any typing activity (verse, chapter, timed test, lesson, memory verse, prayer session, or Verse Songs play) to maintain your streak. The fire badge in the navbar shows your current streak count, and clicking it reveals your weekly progress calendar. You'll earn milestone celebrations at 7, 14, 30, 50, 100, and 365 days! Premium members get 2 Streak Freezes each month that automatically protect your streak when you miss a day, so a busy weekend or family event won't reset your progress.

Each day features a curated verse with a spiritual theme like "Joyful Thanksgiving" or "Divine Guidance." When you sign in, a banner appears below the navigation inviting you to type today's verse. Click the banner to go directly to that verse. Once you complete it (or dismiss the banner), it won't reappear until the next day's verse is ready.

Consistent practice is key to improving typing speed. Try to practice for at least 15-20 minutes daily with TypeByFaith.com. Focus on accuracy first, and speed will naturally follow. Also, maintain proper typing posture and hand positioning.

Yes! Many users report that typing Scripture regularly helps them memorize verses more effectively. The physical act of typing engages multiple learning pathways in your brain, reinforcing memory retention.

Audio Sync is a reinforcement tool available for the Book of Psalms. It synchronizes spoken audio with the text word-by-word. In Typing Mode, it acts as a pacer: the audio pauses when you stop typing and resumes when you continue, helping you stay focused and internalize the scripture. In Reading Mode, it plays continuously while highlighting the text, allowing for an immersive read-along experience.

Key Sounds plays a keyboard sound on every key you type, so practice feels like a real keyboard instead of a silent screen. You can pick from four packs: Mechanical, Typewriter, Modern, and Pure Tick.

Key Sounds is on by default with the Mechanical pack. To change it, open the settings gear on any typing page, where you can switch packs, adjust the volume, or turn it off completely. Your choice is saved in the browser you are using, so a second device is set separately.

Key Sounds is free on every plan, and it is separate from Error Sound, which only plays when you make a mistake.

Verse-by-Verse mode (free) lets you type individual Bible verses one at a time, with a daily limit of 5 verses. Chapter-by-Chapter mode (Premium) allows you to type entire chapters in one session and removes daily limits on verse-by-verse practice. Both modes track your WPM, accuracy, and progress.

Bookmarks let you save your favorite Bible passages for quick access. While typing, click the bookmark icon to save the current verse or chapter to a category. You can create multiple categories (like "Favorites", "Memory Verses", or "Study Topics") to organize your bookmarks. You can also share your bookmark collections with others using a share token, and import collections shared by friends or study groups.
