Seven courses, from the first key to real sentences
Every course is split into short lessons of ten items. The first lessons are open from day one. Later ones become ready as you level up, and you unlock each with one short ad, so you always move from easy to harder.
- Keyboard LettersThe Kedmanee layout finger by finger, with finger colors and next-key highlighting.
- ConsonantsAll 44 Thai consonants with sound, name and meaning.
- Vowels32 vowel forms and how they combine with consonants.
- Basic WordsEveryday vocabulary with illustrated flashcards, pronunciation and meaning.
- 2-Word SentencesShort phrases to get your fingers and your ear moving.
- 3-Word SentencesSimple sentences you can actually say.
- Essential SentencesTravel sentences grouped by situation – ordering, getting around, asking for help.
Practice
Typing practice that gives instant feedback
See the word, hear it, type it. Speed (WPM), accuracy and a 1–3 star rating are shown after every lesson.
On-screen or physical keyboard
Use the built-in Thai keyboard on your phone or tablet, or plug in a physical or Bluetooth keyboard. Portrait and landscape both work.
Finger colors & next-key hints
Keys are tinted by the finger that presses them, and the next key is highlighted. Turn on tone colors to see tone classes at a glance.
Audio for every item
Hear each Thai word or sentence (and English too, if you like). Play it once, a few times, or loop it continuously while you type.
Dictation mode
Hide the text, listen, and type what you hear – the best way to train your ears and fingers together.
Pronunciation & meaning
Romanization, translation and hint buttons can be shown or hidden, so beginners get support and advanced learners get a challenge.
Make it yours
Choose the time per item, shuffle items or lessons, keep the screen awake while you practice, and pick whether QWERTY key names are shown.
Sound
A calm place to practice
Every sound has its own switch, so the app is as quiet or as lively as you want.
Sound effects & key click
Soft chimes for right answers, combos and finished lessons, and an optional tick on every key.
Ambient background sound
Rain, brown noise or a stream, gently looping behind your practice, with its own volume slider and a Preview button.
Menu music
A soft Thai-inspired melody on the home and lesson screens that fades out when you start typing.
