This is very neat. One piece of feedback and a gripe I have with a lot of these is that missed or extra characters throw off the entire next sequence and essentially require backing up to deal with them, as opposed to wrong characters which are fine to just be mistakes you move on from. It'd be great to have some detection for when the user is continuing that re-aligns their string.

Thank you for the feedback! I’m not entirely sure I can visualize exactly what you mean by this:

Could you give an example of this?

I curious because I’ve been exploring alternative and unique UI ideas for typing practice so this could lead me into a new direction
