Practice typing Scripture.
Build your typing skills while spending time in God’s Word. Practice with Bible passages, see your speed and accuracy, and explore ways to memorize Scripture.
John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
How Scripture typing practice works
- Choose a passage. Start with John 1, or select another Bible passage and translation in the typing experience.
- Type its words. Follow the passage on screen and practice entering each word accurately.
- Review your practice. See your typing speed and accuracy, then revisit the passage or continue to the next chapter.
The sample above lets you explore the experience. Continue into Type the Word to choose passages and build a regular practice habit.
Practice words you want to remember
When you want to move from reading a passage to recalling it, explore memorization modes with progressively less support. Scripture typing and Scripture memory can be part of the same practice session.
Explore Scripture memory modesChoose the translation you trust
Practice with a supported translation such as ESV, NIV, NLT, or KJV. Browse the available translations to find the one you use for reading, teaching, or memorizing.

Give students purposeful practice alongside keyboarding instruction. Teachers can assign passages and monitor student progress in Type the Word.
Explore Type the Word for Christian schools or start with the Keyboard Foundations curriculum for students learning the keys.
Questions about typing Scripture
Can beginners use Type the Word?
Yes. Students who are still learning the keyboard can begin with Keyboard Foundations. Passage practice helps typists put those skills to use; the sample above shows passage typing rather than a beginner lesson.
Which Bible translations can I type?
Type the Word supports translations including ESV, NIV, NLT, and KJV. Browse the translation list for the available choices.
Can I practice memorizing Scripture?
Yes. Memorization modes let you revisit a passage with less support as you practice recall. Explore the memory modes to learn more.
Is this for individuals or classrooms?
Both. Individual Bible typing is free. Classroom tools include assignments and student progress reporting, with a 30-day free trial for teachers. See the current plans.
