Typing tutor trainer

Type Trainer

This small utility allows you to grow your typing skills in soft and non-annoying manner. It tries to behave closely to proprietary VerseQ application – adaptive typing tutor which dynamically changes exercises to help trainee to learn hard places thoroughly.

Install

The most easy way via pypi:

pip install typetrainer

or:

easy_install typetrainer

Or you can install from sources:

python setup.py build
sudo python setup.py install

Also you need pygtk to be installed.

Usage

typetrainer -t tutor_package /path/to/file/with/words

Where is tutor_package is one of tutors:

• en.basic Basic English tutor with small-caps letters, commas and apostrophe.

• ru.basic Basic Russian tutor with only small-caps letters.

tutor_package may be omitted.

And words file is any text in utf8 encoding.

Personally I prefer to run type trainer with fortunes:

typetrainer /usr/share/fortune/debian

or:

typetrainer /usr/share/fortune/cookie

TODO

• Word generator should take in action trainee errors.

• On screen keyboard with finger zones.

• Advanced tutor for English (will be done when I reach 250 cpm on basic level).

• Python tutor.
