Thanks, Rose]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[My problem is...I can't find the darn thing! But after reading all your comments, I'm not so sure I want to.  I checked Program Files where it should be, that's where I downloaded it. If I search for it, it will say it's there.  Only the zip file, read-me file, setup and activate is there which I've setup, re-setup, activated and re-activated to no avail.  Any idea what's going on with this?  Help please and thanks.

BTW I totally agree with you Fubar, it was the same way in my day. Not that I'm old or anything :)]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[wow,.. this is something totaly different egh? I have been a computer guru since i was about 13 [i am 38 now]. I am the fastest typer [whie lookin at the keys in the world]. hehe,.. i tried this program and it is way cool, kinda confusing to get the language goin- but it defaults to english and standard keyboard [so lucky me]. It started out having me type some stuff while trying to beat the progress bar.
  This program is very very small in size and very neat and useful. I finally get to learn how to type like a real nerd... thanks Giveaway!!!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[#26 Sincerely doubt installing this giveaway did anything to your computer serious enough to cause a bluescreen.  Whatever happened proably would have happened the next time you re-booted regardless of the reason.  Sounds like your hard drive is dying - bluescreen errors are usually from hosed device drivers and/or failing hardware. Cracked motherboards, dying hard drive, etc.  You have something else going on.

<description><![CDATA[The language changes when the keyboard definition is changed in the OS, the programme then shows the correct key disposition for the language.

A fingering template would be a plus, at the beginning of the programme.

I too learned to touch-type on old mechanical machines - in the same style of character repetition as this programme. Typing characters + spaces + returns - not words - to a regular music beat, is the best way to assimilate keyboard layout, to be able to speed up and be accurate - which depends on character recognition, not word recognition. (I was known for my whizzy fingers, and about 1 typo in 20 pages.) This method enables subsequent touch-typing, at the same speed, of any language combination of characters, without necessarily changing keyboard. Changing from English to French keyboard, with about 10 key differences, took me only a day. This is a good way to learn. A keeper, it will help a friend.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I took a secretarial course back in the late 80's and never got the hang of keeping my fingers on the home keys, as a result I only got up to an average of 60 wpm (words per minute), but as a professional writer I have always wanted to get faster in my typing, and not just the hunt and peck stuff I have got good at.  While I can type faster than most people I know, I do not keep my fingers where they belong.

I downloaded this program to see if it could be used to help me with improving that and so far, for what it is, I like it.

You set the speed you want to type at (I picked 90 wpm), then there is a red bar that will scroll past under the letters to be typed to show you how fast you should be at the selected speed.

The program does god at giving how many errors you made, what the WPM you got was, and has a statistics graph I have not checked out much.

My complaints:

Nothing for new typists to tell them how a person should type.  I took a secretarial class before, so I know where to place the fingers and what fingers go to what keys for above and below where the "home keys" are, but new users could benefit from that kind of information.

Also, I can not find any way to delete users.  The thing comes with 6 preinstalled users (???, ?????, Alice, Bjorn, Jerome, Te?d????) and you can make new users, but there is no way I can find to delete the 6 preinstalled ones. Who I assume were the beta testers before it was released.

The help menu is hidden as a "?" box in the "about" area, and not very helpful other than in what the things you figure out before you find it do.

You can change user settings so that you can change typing speed and rather to use capitol letters or not, but you can't delete the user.

The on screen prompt keyboard really does not help, since I look at the letters I need to type rather than the keyboard, but a feature added that would let you replay that, so you can see the keypresses on the onscreen board in real time would be interesting and informative.

All in all, I give it a <b>thumbs up</b> but I would really like to see more helpful stuff for new typists and a few tricks (like replay keystrokes) that could help us old timers.

Thanks to GAOTD and TypeO'Key for a great giveaway, it's a wonderful tool for anyone like me that makes their living based on how fast and accurately they can type.  I look forward to seeing future versions of this program.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[This software will not, at least in my case, use country specific characters like æ ø and å, instead it wants me to type the Swedish ones ä ö and å. We got out of the Swedish/Norwegian union in 1905 and have no desire to re-enlist :D]]></description>
