Difference between the Reg version and the Unreg one

The software that is brought to you is not crippled !!!

You can test the product as it will look like, after you register. However, since the registration fee is our bread of life, there are some reminders, that this is a shareware product, and that if you want to keep using it, you have to pay the registration fee. As soon as you register, all the reminders will disappear.

After 30 days, message:

This is not a free software.  This license allows you to use the software

for evaluation purposes without charge for a period of 30 days.

After 30 days a message will appear to remind you that the evaluation period

is over, and you have to pay the registration fee. Once the registration fee is paid

you will be able to use the product without any limitations.

Limited to 3 lessons  in 10 keys/Typing lessons:

You can only use the first three lessons of the 10keys/Typing lessons

 and the rest of the lessons will be displayed Once the registration fee is paid.

Limitation in the number of practices:

A limited number of practices could be drilled in order to demonstrate the use

of the practice mode.

Unfortunately a powerful option - Create Your Own Practice can’t be used in

the unregistered version and could be used only if you pay the registration fee.

Limitation in the graph’s number:

In the unregistered version only three kinds of graphs out of five could be

displayed.

Limitation in using the Free Typing option:

When you use the unregistered version of Touch-Typing® this option

is disabled and therefore you can’t use the free typing mode.

•	Remember when you registered to Touch-Typing® all the limitations will

        disappear, and all that at the cost of only 39$.

and you will have to type it.

Transcribed Typing enables you to practice typing from

a text which is printed on a sheet of paper. Before starting

the lesson the text that you are supposed to print will be

sent to the printer instead of being displayed on the screen,

and you will have to print the practice from the printed copy

Beeps

Touch-Typing® gives you beeps when you make errors...

and at other appropriate times.  Here you may choose whether

you want to hear those beeps cues (On) or not (Off).


Clock

This option allows you to choose whether you prefer to see the clock (Enable)

Sounds

Touch-Typing® gives you audible cues when you make

errors, when you end a lesson and at other appropriate occasions.

Here you may choose whether you want to hear those audible

cues (Music) or not (Silence).


Typing Skills

Touch-Typing® enables you to choose the required typing skills

level. There are two available options:

Beginner:

If you have never typed before, or have no knowledge of  the

touch typing method, then  you are a Beginner.  If you can type

a little, but no faster than 20 words per minute, you should still

select the Beginner category. These lessons will increase your

speed and prepare you for the Advanced category.

Advanced:

If you consider yourself an advanced typist, the Advanced

lessons will help to improve and increase your typing speed

and  accuracy to such an extend that you have never thought

you would be able to reach.

•	The differences between these two options are, that in the Advanced

          option the keyboard disappears and the guiding colored keys option

        is inactive, therefore the lessons become more difficult. Coping with

        the difficulties results in improving your typing speed and accuracy


Graphs Style

Touch-Typing® gives you an opportunity to choose your graphs style.

You can choose whether to work with 2-Diminutions graphs or to work

with 3-Diminutions graphs.


Ending The Lines

On a typewriter, you must press the Return key at the end of each line.

However, most computer word processors have a feature called "word wrap."

This feature automatically moves you to the next line when the current line is full.

This option allows you to select one of the two mode for Touch-Typing® lessons.

When you choose the automatically option its means that you want to use the

“word warp” feature (Word processor typing).


 Audio Messages

In the Multimedia version of Touch-Typing®, it will occasionally

speak to you, in addition to displaying a message box on the screen.

To prevent Touch-Typing® from speaking, turn off this option.


Keyboard Layouts

Nowadays there are many types of keyboards, but in fact there are only

three major keyboard layout that popular among the computers’ users.

Touch-Typing gives you the option to learn touch typing thus using the

three of them:

The old layout:

Windows95  Layout - IBM:

Windows95  Layout - Standard:


Guiding Colored Keys

This is a very powerful option, that enables you either see

the key that you have pressed or the key that you should press.

For a beginner typist this option makes the touch typing learning

process easier, as the typist can find the key that should be

pressed faster.

If you are a beginner typist choose the so called option  ACTIVE,

on the other hand if you feel that you are no longer a beginner typist

then choose the so called option INACTIVE.

By choosing the option called INACTIVE the guided colored keys

will disappear.

Introduction

Welcome to Touch-Typing® before we start learning to type

here are some things you should know.

HOME_Keys

Preparing to type

Typing style


Preparing to type

Having the right environment and correct posture is as important to learning

how to type as typing itself is. You should maintain proper posture while sitting

at your PC and find a comfortable position which will prevent fatigue and will

insure proper keyboarding that will increase your accuracy and typing speed.

The following rules should be followed in order to find a comfortable

typing position:

•	Sit upright in your seat with your back erect and your body leaning

        slightly forward.  Make sure your feet are flat on the floor with one

        foot positioned slightly ahead of the other to provide good balance.

•	Hold your elbows to your side in a relaxed position and raise your

        wrists so your hands "drape" down toward the keyboard.  It is

        important that you DO NOT rest the palms of your hands on the edge of the

        desktop or on the edge of the keyboard.  The palms must be raised so

        the back of your hands are slightly above the knuckles of your

        fingers.

•	Rest the fingertips of both hands on the Home keys and the thumbs

        just lightly touching the spacebar.

•	Your PC screen should be directly in front of you, clearly visible

        without having to lean forward or down.  If necessary place something

        between the monitor and the computer to gain some elevation for the

        screen.

•	The pages of material or text to be typed should be propped up to the

        left or the right. It is advisable to use a copy holder which can be found

        in computer stores.


Typing Style

Once you begin to develop a typing "style" you can modify your

posture slightly to be more comfortable.  When you begin to type, your

fingers should strike the keys with a very slight movement of your hands

Your fingers should reach up and down from their HOME position

and return to their HOME position after each stroke.  If you keep your

fingers slightly curved and the fingernail portion of your fingers

perpendicular to the keys (straight up-and-down) you will be able to reach

all of the keys on the main typing area of the keyboard with a little

effort.  Try to keep your hands stationary and let your fingers do all the

work.  If you can keep the typing motions mainly in your fingers you will

gradually build up speed and accuracy.

Always remember Your fingers should reach up and down from their

HOME position and return to their HOME keys after each stroke.


Home Keys

Whenever you see the expression HOME keys you should realize that

it refers to the keys  -   A S D F J K L ;

HOME Keys position:

  Place your left-hand fingertips on the  ‘ASDF’  keys and your right

  hand fingertips on the  ‘JKL;’  keys.  Close all your fingers slightly

  and rest them lightly on the keys.  Slant the hands upward

  parallel to each other at the wrists and keep them low, just

  clearing the keyboard.  For the space bar,  curve the  thumbs

  and hold them slightly above the bar and pointing to the letters

  ‘B’ and ‘N’.
