General Features

*Extremely fast, never again type faster than your type tutor!!! *Has lessons for non programmers and c,c++,java/android programmers *An accurate speed algorithm in character per minute (CPM) and an approximate in word per minute WPM(accuracy -+0.35) *Terminal is manipulated to print green a correct character and red a wrong character *Keeps a record of the number of wrong and correct characters *Creates a text file to keep a account of the user speed in details(date, numer of errors, speed in CPM and WPM and time elapsed) for each session.

Command Line Features

-The user can choose to type in random mode where a random block is each session is chosen from selected lesson. -And in standard mode, the user types chronologically as the lesson is in the lesson file. -The user can chose to modify any lesson in the lesson file easily. -For a user who will not love to modify the lesson file, a my_own.txt file is available for the user to paste his text file he wants to type.

NOTE: Text file should contain only ascii 7 bits characters. For this reason, user text may some times look absurd when contains extended ascii characters since program has a function to ignore such characters. -User also can choose to receive a beep for any wrong character typed (may not work on all terminals) -Program has the ability to remember all past settings. -Terminal is manipulated so a user can erase characters right to the beginning of the session line(timing reset) For each wrong character erased, number of errors is decremented by one. -User session timing starts only when he types a first character (wrong or correct) -If the user erases to the beginning of the session, time is reset to zero and starts only as described above. -The last line of each lesson session is marked blue, so user is aware and can take time to review speed details befor estarting the following lesson.
