## What it is
TypeLit.io is a typing practice site built around complete books rather than random words or timed drills. Users improve their typing speed and accuracy by retyping classic literature chapter by chapter, with real-time WPM tracking, error highlighting, and accuracy statistics on every page.

## How it works
The site presents the full text of a book one page at a time. Users retype the text exactly as shown. Errors are highlighted instantly. WPM and accuracy are tracked per page, per chapter, and per book. Progress saves automatically when signed in and syncs across devices.

## What makes it different
Most typing tools use short random-word sessions designed to measure speed, not build it. TypeLit sessions run as long as the user wants, on real literary text with natural vocabulary, punctuation, and sentence structure. A 2022 study (Pinet et al.) found that total accumulated typing exposure — not structured drills — is the strongest predictor of typing speed. TypeLit is designed to maximise that exposure.
