Touch-type Read and Spell (TTRS) helps develop typing and literacy skills of children (age 8+), young people and adults who have additional educational needs with reading, writing and spelling for a broad range of reasons. At the same time it increases their level of confidence, self-esteem and motivation as learners.

It is organised into 24 levels each comprising of 31 modules and takes a multi-sensory approach to repetition learning. Through the multi-sensory approach, a user hears the words spoken through headphones or speakers, sees the words printed on the screen and is prompted as to which fingers to press via the on-screen keyboard. Finally, through the sense of touch, they type out the words, harnessing muscle memory in the hands and fingers to learn spelling.
