Touch Type Read and Spell (TTRS) is a multisensory typing course that uses visual imagery, sounds and touch to teach spelling and typing.
It consists of a series of lessons that increase in difficulty as the user progresses. The lessons consist of audio instructions and pictoral demonstrations that learners can follow at their own pace. It is suitable for children aged 8 years or older, as well as adults.
