Typence, the Arcade for Reading Scripts

Editorial interest 82/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An arcade-style typing trainer for Japanese, Mandarin, and Korean, with races, falling-character drills, rhythm play, passages, and practice modes.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-24 issue.

Field notes

The trainer divides practice into distinct game loops rather than presenting a single typing test. Passage mode uses real passages and reports WPM, accuracy, and a letter grade while showing no translations; Cascade instead sends falling kana toward a hit zone for romaji input. Japanese, Mandarin, and Korean are listed as available language areas, while Arabic Abjad with right-to-left support is marked as coming soon.
