TypeByFaith.com is a Bible engagement web application that combines typing, reading, memorization, daily prayer practice, and rhythm-based worship music with Scripture.

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, Rhythm Mode, 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 on "Verse-By-Verse" in the navigation menu. From there, you can choose to select a specific verse or use the "Random Verse" option to get a random passage for typing practice.

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.

The free tier includes verse-by-verse typing (5 per day), timed tests (1 per day), guided lessons (5 per day), Reading Mode, Memory Verse (5 verses), Prayers (2 per day), Rhythm Mode (1 play per day on all 40 songs), and Race Mode (2 races per day).

Yes, you can cancel your monthly Premium subscription at any time from your account settings. You'll continue to have access to Premium features until the end of your current billing period, after which your account will return to the free tier. Lifetime Premium members have permanent access and are never charged again.

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, Rhythm Mode), 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 specificy 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.

Rhythm Mode is a musical typing game where you type falling notes in time with worship music. Think of classic rhythm games—but instead of a controller, you use your keyboard. Each song features original worship music, and after completing the gameplay, you listen to scripture audio passages that inspired the song.

To fully complete a song in Rhythm Mode, you need to finish both parts: (1) Play through the rhythm game by typing the falling notes in time with the music, and (2) Listen to the scripture audio passage that inspired the song. This keeps you connected to God's Word while enjoying the gameplay experience. Premium members have unlimited plays daily.

Type By Faith features original worship music created with AI technology, with each song inspired by foundational scripture passages. This allows us to provide high-quality worship music without licensing costs, keeping TypeByFaith.com affordable and accessible to everyone.

Rhythm Mode features 8 story-driven stages with 39 total worship songs. All songs are accessible to free users (1 play per day). Premium members enjoy unlimited plays across all stages and songs.

Each song offers Easy, Medium, and Hard difficulty modes. Our proprietary difficulty rating system uses half-star precision (0.5 to 5.0 stars) based on note density, hand-switching patterns, rapid burst intensity, and key pattern complexity. Choose the difficulty that matches your skill level!

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.

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!

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 a premium feature for personal discipleship groups—perfect for youth leaders, Bible study groups, and mentors. Create a group and track your members' Bible typing progress. As a shepherd, you can monitor member streaks, verses completed, reading time, WPM, accuracy, and VOTD completion—all from one dashboard. Members can join groups for free from their Account page; only the shepherd leader needs premium to create and manage groups. (Looking for school classroom management? See our School Licenses.)

Go to the Shepherd's Hub page, enter a group name, choose your enrollment mode (auto-approve or manual approval), and click "Create Group." You'll receive a unique access code to share with your group members.

Members can join from their Account page by entering your group's access code. If you've enabled auto-approve, they'll join instantly. With manual approval, you'll review each request before they're added to your group.

You can view each member's current streak, verses typed today and this week, reading time, typing speed (WPM), accuracy percentage, VOTD completion, and last activity time. All stats update in real-time as members practice.

Shepherd's Hub is for personal discipleship groups—youth leaders, Bible study groups, and mentors who want to track their group members' Bible typing progress. The leader needs a Premium subscription, but members can join for free using their own email accounts. It's designed for informal, volunteer-led groups.

School Licenses are for Christian schools, homeschool co-ops, and classroom settings. Teachers create and manage student accounts (no email required—COPPA compliant for children under 13). Students log in with a School Code + Username + Password. School Licenses include a full assignment system (assign Bible chapters, verses, prayers, timed tests, lessons, memory verses, and rhythm songs), class organization, progress reports, and all students receive unlimited Premium features automatically.

Key differences:

• Account creation: Shepherd's Hub members sign up themselves with email; School students are created by teachers (no email needed)
• Login method: Shepherd's Hub uses regular login; Schools use School Code + Username + Password
• Cost: Shepherd's Hub is included with Premium ($4.99/mo); School Licenses are per-seat ($2.40–$28.80/student/year based on volume)
• Assignments: Shepherd's Hub tracks progress only; Schools can assign specific work with due dates
• Best for: Shepherd's Hub for church groups and mentorship; School Licenses for classrooms and curriculum

Daily streaks track your consecutive days of typing practice. Complete any typing activity (verse, chapter, timed test, lesson, memory verse, prayer session, or rhythm mode song) 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.

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.

TypeByFaith.com works with all modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. For the best experience, we recommend keeping your browser updated to the latest version.

No, TypeByFaith.com requires an internet connection to load Scripture, save progress, and stream audio for Rhythm Mode and Memory Verse.
