Adaptive Typing Tutor

"Adaptive Typing Tutor" is an educational program on touch typing in Bulgarian and English languages. It is an open source multiplatform program, which is registered on the famous site for open source projects sourceforge.net at the address: sourceforge.net/projects/typing-tutor.

This program has been created, maintained and renewed thanks to you - people who find the program needed and useful.

The most practical way to show you want the program to be of better quality is to make a donation, but also, you can help by:

• sending feed back about any possible bugs;
• asking questions or seeking assistance;
• suggesting ideas for development or taking part in discussion;
• contributing to complement the training materials and documentation;
• or - in the programming.

Concerning the program, you could directly write to me here.

Features

"Adaptive Typing Tutor" can be compiled and used in each of the three operational systems: Windows, Linux и Mac OS X. This is how the program looks like in the operating system in which it has been already compiled:

Windows 98

Windows XP

Linux

The program can be expanded with training materials for study in different types of keyboards and languages.

The interface can be translated (up to now it is available in Bulgarian and English).

In the programme are set some types of texts for writing:

• Lessons,to begin with in gaining command of new keys.
• Texts, made of randomly chosen words, only consisting of letters acquired till that moment.
• An exercise for learning of "difficult" words. (The computer gives an account of the speed you write each word and after finishing a given text, it offers an exercise consisting of repeating many times the most slowly written words.)
• Texts of the subject with various contents, designed to increase speed and accuracy of writing.
• Loaded by you texts. Two ways for loading texts are expected: from a located in the computer text file and from opened with another programme text, which to be transfered via Clipboard.

After each push of a key "Adaptive Typing Tutor" counts the number of pushes, percentage of errors, speed of writing and others and shows them right away. Results after completion of each test are kept and can be seen as a diagram.

Even if you have a command of professional typewriting, if you want to practise for speed and accuracy, "Adaptive Typing Tutor" is for you, too.

Forthcoming

The program will be complemented soon with:

• Option to be used for several trainees, with separate files for the progress of each of them.
• Different ways to treat typing errors, with additional exercises.
• New training materials.

In order to help me to accomplish these goals, show initiative.
