The Christian school typing program
built around Scripture.
Type the Word helps students learn to type, memorize Scripture, and meditate on God's Word through Bible typing assignments.
Built with teachers typing Scripture in real classrooms.
Schools use Type the Word to assign passages directly in Google Classroom. These assignments let students practice typing while memorizing the Bible.
"I've enjoyed using Type the Word with my classroom as it lets my students improve their typing while meditating on Scripture. I've loved seeing their excitement in being able to type their favorite passages and/or finish a whole book of the Bible, and it's really easy for them to log on and pick up on their current assignment. It's been great for them practicing their memory verses as well with the various memory modes."

Bible and biblical texts only
Typing is meditating, so Type the Word has been designed specifically to be a safe place for you to hear Biblical truth.
03
Your data is your data
Type the Word has been designed for you to practice your typing and you can request to delete your data at any time.
04
Anti-Dopamine Hacking
Type the Word's design is designed to develop students executive system through the delayed gratification of hitting long term goals. All gamification features will be opt-in.
05
"Your kingdom come"
TTW's north star is students growing in knowledge of God's word and seeking first his kingdom.
06
Small tech by design with God-sized goals
Type the Word is intentionally a small software company. This helps us stay true to our values, while also pursuing the dream: a generation of students who know God more and have key passages of scripture memorized.
07
Plurality of leadership
At the moment, Type the Word is mainly led my me (Josh Wootonn), but I don't believe leading is a solo sport. As TTW grows, my goal is to share this stewardship with a board of other believers for wisdom and accountability.
I learned and grew to love this value from my local church. Here an excerpt on the topic. Austin does a great job articulate why this is important.08
Generous giving
Matthew 6:21 says "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." The mission of Type the Word is to glorify God. Tithing honors God and is a monthly reminder that we are stewards of God's grace and it realigns our heart with God's. So 10% of TTW gross revenue goes to organizations like Wycliffe Bible Translators and Samaritan's Purse. More details are in the newsletter.
