14. A computerized method for typing training, comprising:
providing an overlay that is removably placed and lays on top of a keypad and has a finger recognition sensor in the overlay for each of the keys of the keypad;
configuring the finger recognition sensor of a typing training system for each key, before use by a user for typing training, to capture a finger identifier of a finger of the user that presses the key when the overlay is on top of the keypad;
receiving a key press from the keypad;
sensing, by the finger recognition sensor, the key press by a particular finger of a user;
determining, based on the sensed key press and a stored correct finger identifier for the correct finger for the sensed key press, if the key was pressed by a wrong finger of the user; and
notifying the user when the wrong finger of the user pressed the key.
