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, Rhythm Mode, and progress tracking. Premium unlocks additional features.
Type By Faith currently offers the King James Version (KJV) as the default translation, plus the American Standard Version (ASV). Both are public domain translations in the United States. You can switch translations from the verse/chapter selection modal, and your preference is saved automatically. 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 (10 per day), timed tests (2 per day), guided lessons, Reading Mode, Memory Verse (5 verses), and Rhythm Mode (1 play per day on all 39 songs).

Rhythm Mode
Rhythm Mode is a musical typing game where you type falling notes in time with worship music. Think of classic rhythm gamesโbut 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 Type By Faith 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.
Shepherd's Hub
Shepherd's Hub is a premium feature for group leaders that lets you create groups and track your students' Bible typing progress. As a shepherd, you can monitor student streaks, verses completed, reading time, WPM, accuracy, and VOTD completionโall from one dashboard. Students can join groups for free from their Account page; only the shepherd leader needs premium to create and manage groups.
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 students.
Students 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 student'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 students practice.
Typing Practice
Daily streaks track your consecutive days of typing practice. Complete any typing activity (verse, chapter, timed test, lesson, memory verse, 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!
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 Type By Faith. 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 10 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.
