TypeTester

The MIT AgeLab’s TypeTester is part of a research program on text legibility. It is specifically designed to collect data on how text is read from digital screens. Do you read differently at night versus during the day? How about in the morning versus the afternoon? Or maybe your reading style changes when you’re on the go versus sitting quietly. We don’t yet have the answers to these questions, but you can help us find them out! By participating in a few quick “challenges” each day (at your leisure), you can help move science forward and expand our understanding of how people read on modern devices. And each time you participate, you are entered into a weekly prize raffle!
