Love the course, found a minor spelling error:

I am in the lessen with W and there is a name 'Tod' that should be 'Todd'. Could you please change that?
Thanks

Anouk

Thank you very much for your message and the tip!

We have now corrected the error.

Good morning,

It would be interesting to see a heatmap of errors, both for a detailed report and a general overview of "Error rates of your fingers."

There is a freely available JavaScript library that implements the code to generate heatmap information.

Patrick Wied's Heatmap.js
www dot patrick-wied dot at/static/heatmapjs/

Coincidentally, he also has a project to visualize text on a specific keyboard. It was amusing to observe how a text is transformed into a heatmap on various keyboard layouts. His goal was to illustrate how certain layouts are superior to others. While it's widely acknowledged that standard keyboard layouts can be inefficient, it's still amusing to see it visualized.

Anyway, incorporating this heatmap could provide more insight into which keys are most prone to errors, considering you already have this information.

Thank you very much for your message and sorry for the late reply.

Thank you also for the great link to the Javascript library. It's really fun to play around with the keyboard project. It would be even nicer if the keystroke paths of the fingers were also taken into account (but unfortunately Tipp10 doesn't do that yet either).

Since we want to use so few external libraries, we have nevertheless decided to implement a simpler heatmap with colored keys. We have already published this. You can find it in the results under "Keyboard".

I am reaching out to suggest an improvement in the font selection on your online typing tutorial platform.

As you know, clarity and differentiation between characters are crucial in enhancing the learning experience, especially when dealing with characters that are visually similar. Consolas, a font designed with this consideration in mind, excels in providing clear distinctions between characters such as 0 (zero), o (lowercase letter), O (uppercase letter), l (lowercase letter "L"), L (uppercase letter), i (lowercase letter "i"), and I (uppercase letter "I").

In contrast, the currently used Courier New, while being a monospaced font, lacks sufficient differentiation between zero and a capital O. This shortcoming could potentially hinder the effectiveness of our typing tutorial platform for learners.

Therefore, I would like to propose the inclusion or preference of Consolas as an available font in our online typing tutorial platform. This enhancement would undoubtedly contribute to a more effective learning environment, particularly in improving programming typing skills.

Thank you for considering this request for improvement. I appreciate your attention to detail and commitment to providing an optimal learning experience for our users.

A thousand thanks for this valuable suggestion for improvement! We were not aware of this. We now prefer the Consolas font to the Courier New font.
Consolas is not available by default on the Mac. Nevertheless, we have now only inserted the system font. If there are further requests, we may also integrate Consolas via a web font.

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,
Tom Thielicke

Guru gram used tipp 10 software in their recruitment of clerk, so I want to know is it legal to use tipp 10 in a recruitment process,

Thank you for your request. The software version is Open Source, you can use it in every case for free. Only selling the software version is forbidden.

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.

Herzliche Grüße aus Berlin

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?).
