Is typeSmart designed for the QWERTY standard industry keyboard?

Yes. The standard industry keyboard that 99.9% of computers have is called the ‘QWERTY’ keyboard because the first six keys of the second top row are "Q W E R T Y".
The QWERTY was designed around the early 1900s to SLOW down typists to avoid jams of the mechanical levers of the old-fashioned typewriters. Also, it was designed so that about three-quarters of syllables were typed with the left hand, perhaps to allow typists a free hand to send the carriage back at the end of each line.

This means the left hand is much more active, but on the modern computer the right hand is now free to use the mouse.
