Letter Chase Typing Tutor Product Details

Features:

• All immediate family members can use Letter Chase and print and save to file charts of their progress. Charts will automatically be saved with the present user name and the date included in the chart title.
• In the Beginners Section, transparent, animated hands will guide you from home row to the letter to type. This will help you pick up on the direction and distance of the keys from the home row position.
• An Intermediate Section is included. With it you can practice words with commonly used letter combinations (ing, qu, ion, etc.). You can instantly pick the combination you want by clicking a speed button. The file will automatically go to the place you choose. Also, you can practice phrases or simple sentences. The animated hands are still used in the intermediate section.
• The Advanced Section allows you to practice with four lines. Your practice will be more realistic and a more accurate WPM score can be calculated.
• The Letter Chase section is unique to computer typing tutorials. The letters appear at an adjustable WPM rate of speed. The challenge is to set it slightly faster than you can normally type and then try to catch up. The speed adjuster can adjust to any WPM rate you want regardless of the speed of your computer.
• Another unique feature called "Word Sweep" places words on the screen for a limited amount of time (this is adjustable). The purpose is to teach you how to type the most commonly used words in the English language as quickly as possible.
• Speed tests are provided so you can monitor your progress.
• Letter Chase 3.5—3.7 has additional features.
• Version 3.7 has new timed tests that are superior to the original 10 line tests. The new tests are ideal for schools where an accurate test score is needed to correctly evaluate each student's progress. The time can be adjusted from 1 to 14 minutes, or set for unlimited. Results can be printed out.
• Letter Chase 3.5 has a totally rewritten Lessons Section with 8 self-contained lessons. No more confusion from switching between windows. The new lessons systematically teach key location while developing key transfer skills and speed all at the same time. Learning time is reduced by an algorithm which detects your errors and concentrates on the keys you are missing. You set your own personal wpm goals and "graduate" on to the next lesson when you are ready.
• As requested by some school instructors, Letter Chase users can now save a log of the more important statistics from each section. (Lessons — wpm, which lesson, and accuracy; Beginners — Best time and accuracy; Intermediate — wpm; Advanced — wpm; Letter Chase — wpm; Tests — wpm). The log will include username and date, and by default, be saved in the users name (name.txt). The file is a text file and can be viewed in any text editor/word processor. To use this feature select "Log Progress to File" from the Main Menu.
