add INDIAN RUPEES in the donation payments list so that we can donate you more

Thank you for your message. We looked for a payment system with Indian Rupees we can use here in Germany before. Unfortunately there is no good solution. Paypal also doesn't support Indian Rupees.
Perhaps we can offer something in the future.

I wanted to improve my speed when it comes to fluently typing, since I am to slow for my own taste. I am able to type blindly with all ten fingers but I've never used right shift before hand. And it's quite annoying to use right shift if you've never used it. This has me slowed down more than anything. I would like it if you added a feature in which you don't have to use a specific shift and instead to be able to use both shift buttons.

Thanks for your message. Go to "Settings" and under "Results" set the dropdown "Shift keys" to "Count incorrect shift keys not as errors".

I have now finally translated the assigned texts and also localized the keyboard files I was assigned.
Could you please make an Norwegian version available? :-)
PS: Many strings are duplicated. It would be less work and easier to make the translation coherent if duplicated strings had only one string and were then duplicated back to where they are needed.
- SCORM is also only available in English, but I translated in anyhow :-P

Best regards
Axel Bojer

Dear Axel,

I don't know what to say - I know how much work the translation is. THANK YOU THOUSAND TIMES!!! You're right, there are many duplicated strings. I'm sorry for that and we are working on a solution to automate the translation of these.

I'm on a vacation but I will be back to Berlin in one week. Of course I will make the Norwegian version available then as soon as possible.

Three questions:

1. What else can I do to thank you? Perhaps I can send you a (big) part of the money I received by donations? Or can I send you a (big) package with German chocolate :) ? Do you have an idea? I feel like I owe you something.

2. Why did you send me a donation? You did so much for Tipp10 with your work on the translations!!

3. Can I publish your name or any additional information (e.g. website) on the Tipp10 site?

All the best to Norway,
stay healthy,

Dear Sir, Madam.
I have created about 50 typing lessons on this account, but your system is only allowing me to create and upload 20. If I want to have, let's say, up to 100 lessons, do I have to pay ( or donate) something? If yes, then how much? Thank you.

Thank you for your message. We set your account to "I have donated", now you can upload more than 20 lessons. It's on your side if and how much you donate.

On Instructables.com a Keyboard Puzzle for touch-typing classes has been published, referencing Tipp10: www.instructables.com/id/Keyboard-Puzzle

Thank you very much for the link. This is a really great idea! We will share your link with our users. And we will think about transforming this idea in an online game.

I would like to use tipp 10 for my pupils, in the school. In Norwegian. I have lessons that I know how to import, but no Norwegian keyboard. It would also be nice to have a Norwegian user interface.

I am willing to help, I have experience in translation and localization of Linux software. So could you help me get started and then implement my future changes?

Best regard
Axel Bojer

Dear Axel,

Thank you very much for your message and your offer to help integrating Norwegian to Tipp10.

We offer our own interface for localization and to manage the keyboard layouts. We assigned the interface to your account "axel@bojer.no". You can find now the menu items "Developer" and there "Translations" and "Keyboards". Please do not hesitate to ask if you need help.

Thank you!

I'd love to be able to see my speed improvements over time, independent of the number of mistakes I made.

Thank you for your suggestion! You're right, that option makes sense. We will implement it as soon as possible. We think it would be nice to choose Score, Speed or Error Rate.

Why is there no UK keyboard option?

UK keyboards for Mac and Windows are currently in testing mode. We can activate it for you if you like to.

When I attempt to create my own lesson, I am unable to use the space and backspace (bug). Also, it would be very nice if I could input the letters I want to use for my custom lesson, and have various sequences produced for me (feature request).

Have you tried it in an other browser? It seems so be a Javascript issue in Opera.

your desktop app is very pixelated. Please change this. Thanks.

We think you use a Full HD Retina Display.
Many applications, included Tipp10, are not made for this.

Naja wenn sie meinen das das schön aussieht ok. hier ein screenshot. Ich werde meine Bildschirm Auflösung nicht verändern, da alle(und ich habe viele Applikation auch welche die noch lange kein update gehabt haben) gut aussehen und der text normal aussieht. Low resolution und nicht hilft auch nicht.

Beste Lösung ist wahrscheinlich ihre web version ab jetzt zu benutzen. Wie kann man denn hier ein foto senden?

Wir finden die Darstellung auch nicht optimal. Die Skalierung unter Windows 8 ist eigentlich ganz vernünftig. Tipp10 wird aber vorerst nicht Retina-fähig sein. Zum einen hängt das an der Klassenbibliothek Qt (über Umwege lassen sich mittlerweile die Fenster selbst skalieren, nicht aber eingebettete Bilder und Icons), zum anderen müssen erst sämtliche Tipp10-Bilder (Tastaturlayouts, Tasten usw.) entsprechend modifiziert und neu erstellt werden.
Ich hoffe aber, wir können eventuell mit der nächsten Softwareversion eine Retina-Unterstützung anbieten.

Any plans to add a dictation feature? Built-in SAPI voices in Win 8 and numerous third party companies (Expressivo, Neospeech, etc) provide high quality text-to-speech technology. The text would be read out loud with the ability to instantly pause/play and increase/decrease speed while the dictated text would be hidden.

Thank you for your suggestion.
We will check it and if applicable we will adopt it to the next software release.

The current letter to be typed is highlighted in a dark/medium gray and it it's hard to "see-through" the color to see what letter it is very clearly. For example, it's a bit difficult to see whether it's a capital "i" or lowercase "j".

Perhaps lighten the highlight, or use an underline, or blinking underline/cursor or dot below the letter to be typed. I think that would make such a difference. Thanks.

Thank you for your suggestion.
We will check it and if applicable we will adopt it to the next software release.

A Swiss keyboard layout compatiblity would be very helpful, also for the majority of users.

We already support Swiss QWERTZ keyboard. French and German version.

In Capitalization exercise (English), both capital i, i.e., I and small L, i.e., l, look exactly the same to me. This also increases my error rate as the words AI and Al both are present in this exercise. Could you add a different font or change this somehow?

You can change the font type in the training settings.

I am very grateful you should release something like this free of charge. I cannot afford to donate right now as I am very, very poor, but I wanted to say thank you.

Thank you for your nice words!

It would be nice if I could delete the history and start over.

Go to "Settings" - "Results" and push the buttons "Reset completed lessons" and "Reset all recorded characters". Then your software is reseted like it was after installation.

Hello,

It would be great if we could have an indicator telling us when a lesson is completed (progress bar?).

Kindly,

First off, great work. Thanks for a nice program. I'm using it to unlearn Dvorak and go back to Qwerty.

My suggestion is to get rid of the dialog boxes that popup when trying to exit a lesson early.

The "do you really want is exit" box presumes a level of importance that a single typing lesson doesn't have; i.e. it's not a big deal if someone accidentally clicks exit and loses a lesson. If someone tried is close a 20 page term paper without saving, they would expect a confirmation, but not for a 3 minute typing lesson.

Another solution, instead of getting rid of the dialog, would be to add a "remember my selection" checkbox to the dialog.

These comments also apply to the next "do you want to save your results" dialog. I think that dialog is less useful than the first.

Thank you for your suggestion.
We will check it and if applicable we will adopt it to the next software release.

Your Tipp10 Team

An additional comment of the developer:

You are right, but we think it's important to decide if the results should be saved or not when you cancel the training. Already in our online version we combined the two dialogs to one dialog, only asking if you want to save the results - but with three buttons: Cancel, Yes, No.
We will adopt this dialog to the next software release.

And we will think about your suggestion, to add a "remember my selection" checkbox.

Thank you again,

Good morning,

I'm curious about your choice to teach typists to use their middle fingers for "4" and "9" instead of the more standard ring finger. Why was this decision made? Can there be an option to turn it off and have it the other way? I'm brushing up on my typing after many years, and find myself quite confused by this.

Much thanks,

-Dainius

Thank you for your request.
We know about that issue: There is not someting like "the only one" finger assignment.
In Germany we mostly use the method which we have in our software. We know that particularly in the U.S. touch typing is teached the way you are used to.
We will adopt it as an training option to one of the next software releases.

Sometimes the limits (400 lines only) is such a pain, I try to find stories that fits within the 400 lines limits.

I want to import all sorts of stories, to practice typing through stories, to get used to the format of the stories, dialogues, etc. It's a good way to absorbs the osmosis of writing naturally, freely, without worrying about anything.

This 400 lines limit is an annoying obstacle for a would-be writer training to be a REAL writer.

I would appreciates some way to remove this limit, thanks.

Already, I typed a couple of short stories that fits within the 400 lines limit and it was gratifying, but there are other short stories that are longer than the 400 lines limit.

When I try to import those longer texts, and I edited a little bit, click "save" and a dialogue box would pops up saying...

"Tipp10"

"Cannot analyse the lesson.
SQL statement failed.
(Error number 312)

This process will be aborted.

OK"

So there it is, I tried again with different short stories that are longer as well, edit a bit, then it happens again.

Oh well.

Hopes this 400 lines limits can be removed.

I have tested other touch typers and they're no good. Your Tipp10 are the best I've seen, and I liked it's ONE feature, IMPORTING text files so I can type over them, it's great. Great for my hands, I feel the benefits already.

Please, please, please?

Oh well.

Bye for now, ga to sk

Option to skip the space character while typing. Why? Data entry practice does not require you to enter a space while typing. However most practice lessons look like

4556 4556 5545 5545 .... enter key

Skipping of the space character is essential for this type of lesson practice.

Thank you for your suggestion.
We will check it and if applicable we will adopt it to the next software release.

Hello,
I sent a suggestion a few days ago and never got a reply, so in case you didn't get I am sending it again. I suggested that it would be a good idea to allow one-minute timings. Currently, the lowest setting allowed in the program is two minutes for the duration of a lesson. A lot of fluency building exercises for other learning tasks that I've done and taught are often done in one minute timings. One-minute timings are a great way to start building concentration and quick dexterity. (Why is there a 2 minute minimum?)

Sam Miller

PS: Thanks for the great free program. I am really enjoying creating my own lessons.

Thank you for your suggestion. I think you are right and we will allow a time limit of one minute in the next software version. We already changed that in our online version of Tipp10.
