Although older games, such as The Typing of the Dead, had launched before Epshteyn's conception of TypeRacer, the existence of such were unbeknownst to him due to his self-described inexperience in the gaming community. He was inspired to create a competitive multiplayer typing game because the Windows shareware program he used to learn touch typing lacked a multiplayer mode. Epshteyn is a former intern at Google and graduate of the University of Massachusetts Amherst with a Master's degree in computer science. TypeRacer was created by programmer Alex Epshteyn, using the OpenSocial application programming interface (API) and the Google Web Toolkit. In TypeRacer, players complete typing tests of various texts as fast as possible, competing against themselves or with other users online. TypeRacer is a multiplayer online browser-based typing game.
