I have found that in every lesson, if I accidently press backspace, and I have error correction set to "Use backspace" I have to press backspace again to correct. This might not be a problem for qwerty users, but on Colemak it is easy to hit backspace accidently. While it isn't a major issue regardless, it seems a bit off.

Thank you very much for your bug report! You noticed an error, we never noticed before. That's great. We will change it as soon as possible.

I'm using an iPad 3 with iOS 8, and typing on an apple bluetooth keyboard. Apostrophes are introduced in Lesson 8, but during the lesson, there are none - so instead of "I'll", I have to type "Ill". It's the same in the following lessons as well; no apostrophes. If I click 'Details', I can see them in the text of the lesson.
I'm learning the Colemak layout.

Thank you for very much for your bug report. I don't know why, but there where some characters missing in the colemak layout definition. I completed four characters for typing without shift key: '`[\ and one for typing with shift key: {.
I think there are still some characters missing for typing with Alt Gr and Alt Gr + Shift, we will add them later.
Could you please check if typing of an apostrophe now works for your case? Thank you.

The ticket was marked as "resolved".

We are on the way to automatically deploy Tipp10 in our NGO.

While doing so have I recognized that the Tipp10 Windows installer does not set the DisplayVersion in the Uninstall Registry key which makes it more difficult to automatically verify what version of Tipp10 is actually installed.

See details about uninstall registry key here: msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa372105

A small thing but it would be great if new installer could also define the DisplayVersion like this whereas 2.1.0 is replaced with the respective version:
reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Tipp10_is1" /v "DisplayVersion" /d "2.1.0" /t REG_SZ /f

This way automatic verification would be much easier.

Cheers and thanks for great piece of software,
Oliver

Thank you very much for your praise of our work.
We will adopt your suggestion to the next software release.

The ticket was marked as "resolved".

After a run of the first lesson, I got a Cpm of 220 with 1 error after a 5 minute test. I was rated 86 points.

Per the comparison table window, this result should have been rated for 110 points, not 86.

The score is calculated as follows:
((Strokes - (20 * Errors)) / Duration) * 0.4
according to your data:
((5 * 220) - (20 * 1)) / 5) * 0,4 = 86,4

We know about some wrong samples in the comparison table - we will correct this soon.

All the best from Berlin,
Your Tipp10 Team

In the 'Progess of Lessons' section when ordered by lesson the details (date/time and lesson name) in the tooltips are still the detail of the dots when ordered by time except for the points and the cpm.

Thank you for your request.
We know about that issue and we will fix it with next software version.

Greetings to you!
Title basically says it: Lesson 18 (All Characters) contains german sentences even though the settings are all on English. This is the only lesson where I have this problem.

Thank you very much for your error report. You are right, there is an error in our software version that causes German texts in lesson 18. We will fix it within the next software release.

I start the online program and it tells me to press the "space" button. After i have doen this the online program does nothing.

Thank you for your request.
On our Windows 7 with Internet Explorer everything works fine.
Try it with an other browser, e.g. Firefox.

Hello,
I made custom lessons for a friend of mine. I imported them into his Tipp10 on his computer. While he is doing his timed lessons, words that I did not put in the lesson occasionally appear. For example, in a lesson of just the "dfjk" keys, the word "red" appeared. There have been several such words that appeared out of no where, essentially wrecking the timing of my carefully created lesson. My guess is that there is a problem with the database.

Have you come across this problem before?

Thanks for the awesome program. I really like being able to share my custom lessons, so hopefully we can get this function to work properly.

Sam Miller

Thank you for your message. We never heard about that problem before. Especially in Germany we have a lot of users who use custom lessons. No one ever had this problem.
But in general, your problem sounds not completely impossible - I guess there is a problem with the intelligence mode. This mode selects the next text from database depending on the error rates of the already typed characters. Perhaps there is an error and we access also texts from other lessons.
We will test the software again on our side, perhaps it's a problem that appears only in the English version. We will tell you if we found a solution.

Can you say if the problem only appears when you enable the "Intelligence" or also when is is disabled?

If you are interested to have a solution until we publish the next software version: check out our online version - there we surely don't have this problem.

Thank you very much for your help.

Hello,
Is Tipp10 still being developed? The last bit of news on the Tipp10 website was in May of this year. I really like the program When is the next version due? I am hoping that the bug reported in this ticket is fixed. I prefer the software version as I can use it away from the internet.
Thanks,
Sam

When I click on the training button a blank appears, as if starting to load but nothing
happens.

Thank you for your request. Do you still have the problem that training is not starting? Do you have a chance to try a different browser? It should also work with IE8, but sometimes user have problems with it. Every other browser (Firefox, Chrome and so on) works much better and faster.

Best regards from Berlin,

When choosing the English training lessons with QWERTY Layout, the words that you have to type are not chosen correctly. For example in the beginner lessons, for example Lesson 1 (just the home row keys), you have to type all kinds of characters in lower and upper case. It also uses German words/sentences.

Tipp10 version: 2.1.0

Thank you for your message. We hear about that problem the first time. Perhaps it's an Archlinux problem? But even than, we can not explain how this can happen.
Can you please try to use the German QWERTZ layout and then check if training lesson 1 only exists of the home row characters? Another try would be to rename the database file tipp10v2.db in order to create a new database by starting Tipp10.

We hope we can find the problem, perhaps we have to install Archlinux at our test environments, too. To solve the problem quick for you, you can use our free online version at http://online.tipp10.com.

cant use it with a german keyboard, u can switch language but still need an us keyboard layout.....-.-

You can also change the keyboard layout to the German QWERTY under "Settings" - "Language".

Ubuntu software center complains "The package is of bad quality" when I hit the install button to install Tipp10.

We know about that error but unfortunately we can make to the rebuilding of a new Debian package currently no further statement.

I am running Mac OS X 10.4.11 on iBook G3 466MHz. It is fine enough for kids to play with. One of the important skills I wanted them to learn is touch typing. Your software looks perfect for this, but it is not running on this G3 processor. I assume that in the compiler tool it is just a question of including G3 processor to make that software available on that nice little iBook G3.

Can you help, please?

It could be true that the current Mac OS version is not running with an Power PC. Unfortunately we are not getting much response for this type of processor. I thought we compiled version 2.1.0 for PPC too, but we already get one response which said it doesn't work.

So could you please try the older version of Tipp10 which never made problems with PPC? You can download it here:
http://www.tipp10.com/de/download/tipp10_mac_v2-0-3.zip

Another possibility is, if your kids iBook is connected to the internet, to use our new online version of Tipp10. It's not fully translated yet (but most is) and we will publish it in the next weeks. But if you like you can already use it. You can register for free here:

Hello,
I'm using 2.1.0 version of Tipp10 with database version 33. In the lesson 6 there are two words that are very hard (impossible?) to distinguish - AI (capital 'i') and Al (small 'L'). Could you remove one of them in the upcoming version?

Thank you very much for your message. We are not getting much response for the English version, the German version is much more popular (don't no why it's so hard to spread it in the US).

That's why your bug note is very important for us. We will remove the bug in the next software version and also in the new online version, which is available in 1 or 2 weeks (you can already register by switching to the German version of our website).

In meanwhile you can change the font type in the program's settings (e.g. to Courier New) that you can see the difference between "I" and "l".

I didn't find the source code on this site...

You can find the source code at the end of the download page.

when i try to run the program i get this error:

./tipp10: error while loading shared libraries: libSM.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


I checked, and libSM seems to be installed correctly


Anyone can help?

Install ia32-libs-gtk package!

On the "Progress of lessons" tab in the result page, when I change the "Order by x-axis" or the "Show" properties, the labels that appear when you hover a dot in the graph are still in the original order. For example: If I choose to show only the open lessons, the first label tells me "Lektion 1 (asdf jklö)". The position of the dot is correct, just its label isn't.

Thank you very much for your message. You are right, here we have an error. We will solve this in our next software version.

Hi, I just thought I'd mention; in lesson 12 of the training lessons, the word, "wouldn't" is spelled, "wouldnt", missing an apostrophe.

Thank you very much for your message and sorry for the delay. You are right, this is a mistake. We fixed the problem already in our online version and we will fix it within the next software version, too.

Hello, would it be possible to allow for unlimited lines of text in my own lessons and also allow more characters for a title (maybe 40 or something)?

Thank you very much.

Thank our for your message and sorry for the delay. In the current version this is not possible. Perhaps we will increase the limitation within the next version, but "unlimited" length we will never allow. Because this is an security risk.

All the best from berlin,

This seems more like an issue with the website but when I try to post my typing hiscore to Facebook (like www.tipp10.com/en/facebook/45-244-21 ) then the page says:

Oops!
This page may have moved or is no longer available.

Hope you can look into this.
Thanks for this great piece of software.

Thank you thousand times! Great that you tell me that, I didn't noticed that I "destroyed" this function by changing my website.
I corrected it, it should work now.

You're very welcome and thank you for the quick fix!

I'd like to have an option to Brazilian keyboard layout.

It's not necessary to translate interface and help, at least not now. Just give a option to a layout called Brazil - ABNT2 - Windows (or Portuguese Brazilian ABNT2)

You can see the keys layout in
msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc195107.aspx (as many other keyboard layouts).

Thanks in advance!

Bug: The error rates of my fingers are incorrect for the left little finger. I have been typing thousands of letters (according to the results) en even though the left little finger shows an Error Rate of 0%, a Frequency of 1 and 0 Errors.
Considering the fact that under 'Results\Characters' I have a 3% error rate on the a key with a frequency of 2444, the above seems incorrect.

Suggestion: could you include a layout of the complete standard keyboard(s) with where to place your fingers in the 'Go' menu or help? Now I have to start a lesson and see from there which fingers to use. Sometimes I just want to have the overview.

Praise: I'm currently improving my typing skills and this program works wonders for that. Since putting it on my PortableApps USB I can take my 10 minutes of practice a day anywhere.Thank you!

I can not reproduce this error. I've tested a training with US Qwerty layout and the results of my little left finger are correct.

Is it possible for you to send me your database "tipp10v2.db"? I then could check the finger chart with your results.

Your suggestion is good, I think I will place such a graphic into the manual for the next version.

Hi,

I am updating the FreeBSD port of tipp10 to v2.1.0, but I don't seem to find a permanent link for downloading the source code. Can you please send men one?

Thank you.

Thank you for your message.

The permanent download link is
http://www.tipp10.com/en/download/"filename"

So for example this is the link to download the source code:
http://www.tipp10.com/en/download/tipp10_source_v2-1-0.zip

Have tried MANY times to download Tipp 10; it has failed every single time, usually when it has downloaded about 25 percent. It has stopped as soon as 7 percent, and as late as 67 percent. Then everything it has already downloaded is lost. The DAP program (Download Accelerator Plus) is not even able to download it. I have the same problem on both Firefox and Internet Explorer. HOW DO YOU DOWNLOAD THIS PROGRAM? How is it possible that it has been downloaded over a million times?

It's the first time I heard about that problem! Sometimes people have problems to download Tipp10 with Windows Vista or 7 and Internet Explorer because of security reasons. But your downloads seems to start, so I can not explain why it stops before finishing. I've tried it just before and had no problems downloading the file (it needed only 3 seconds to download the 4,2 MB windows version).
Please try the following alternative download link to download Tipp10:
http://www.tipp10.com/en/download/tipp10_win_v2-1-0.exe

Please let me know if this link works. If yes, please try the normal way again. Perhaps it was a server problem while the time you tried it before.

Thanks for responding. Just tried it - it did the same thing again. Stopped at 25 percent and got a message that it could not be downloaded. I have Windows XP and am using dialup connection, but have never had this problem with other programs, even bigger ones. Could either of those have anything to do with it?

Please try to download Tipp10 here:
http://tipp10.en.softonic.com/
This site has nothing to do with tipp10.com, so if it doesn't work here I think you have a problem with your computer.

Thanks - it worked. The problem was probably at this end anyway. We had two major floods in May, and according to the phone company, apparently floodwaters getting into their local equipment caused the problem. They fixed it this morning, and everything works better. One of the floods was in connection to the storm that caused the tornado in Joplin, Missouri, not far from here.

french diacritics (éèêàîû) do not appear in the lesson box (training) although they appear in the lesson text (edit lesson). (I think it is the same with Windows)

exemple of lesson text followed by the result:
Cette philosophie est composée de deux grands mouvements, l'existentialisme athée et l'existentialisme chrétien. Elle s'intéresse avant tout à la question du sens de l'existence.

Cette philosophie est compose de deux grands mouvements, l'existentialisme athe et l'existentialisme chrtien. Elle s'intresse avant tout la question du sens de l'existence.

Thank you for your post. To avoid that you have to type characters that are not supported by the current selected keyboard layout, we use a special filter to allow only specific characters. But, of course, you can change this setting for every layout:
Goto "General Setting" - "Language" and then click the button "Advanced". Here you can define all the characters you want to type. In your case you can add the french diacritics in the first list of characters. But not forget, these characters can not be displayed by the virtual keyboard while training.

Thanks for the precise answer (I think that I would not have found it by
myself).

Thanks for the program also.
