Description:
Klavaro application is just another free touch typing tutor
program. We felt like to do it because we became frustrated with
the other options, which relied mostly on some few specific
keyboards.
Klavaro intends to be keyboard and language independent, saving
memory and time (and money).
Here are some key features of
"Klavaro":
· Internationalization: English, Esperanto and
Portuguese. If you want to translate to another language, please
read the instructions for translation.
· Ready to use keyboard layouts:
· "qwerty" (BR; BR_abnt0; BR_abnt2; IT; PT; US)
· dvorak (US)
· "qwertz" (HU)
· "azerty" (FR)
· Keyboard layout editor: makes possible to
configure the keys' positions and to save the result in a simple
text file. If your keyboard isn't shown above, you can create it.
If you need to do it, please let us know about.
· Basic course: a basic type of course is
available for memorizing the keys positions on the keyboard. It is
supposed to be independent from keyboard layout, by the generation
of random character sequences to be followed by the student.
· Adaptability exercises: these exercises use all
the keys ramdonly, so that you can practice using all the keyboard.
It's named adaptability exercise because it develops the capacity
to adapt your typing skills to any kind of strange words that may
appear in some texts.
· Velocity exercises: one achieves velocity on
typing when the environment is well known, or, when the words come
from one's own language. That's why these exercises focus on
velocity. And even if your language isn't supported by the
application, you still can indicate texts in any language to
include the words contained there.
· Fluidness exercises: with these exercises, one
works typing complete paragraphs, with good sense sentences. Typing
errors aren't accepted: the user must correct them with the
backspace key before be allowed to go on. Especial attention is
given to the typing rhythm, which must be as uniform as possible.
Just like the velocity exercises, this one here makes possible to
load any text files, independently of language.
· Progress charts: at the accomplishment of each
exercise, some characteristics of your performance are saved and
can be graphically showed. Thus, you can easily observe your
learning progress (or regress).
· Clean graphical interface: when learning to
type correctly, one must not get the attention off the exercises.
So, it isn't recommended neither to have dozens of gauges
measuring velocity, errors, time, etc; nor a virtual keyboard
floating in front of the student: he/she must memorize the key
positions by the tact, not visually. Hence, Klavaro's interface
started simple and will remain like that for all of its
lifetime.
What's New in This Release:
· A Russian translation was included.
