| 00:00 | Welcome to the Spoken Tutorial on Configuring Settings in KTouch. |
| 00:04 | In this tutorial, you will learn how to: |
| 00:08 | Change the level of training Adjust the speed of typing. |
| 00:13 | Configure shortcut keys.Configure the toolbars.View typing metrics. |
| 00:20 | Here, we are using KTouch 1.7.1 on Ubuntu Linux 11.10. |
| 00:27 | Let’s open KTouch. |
| 00:33 | We are at Level 1. Let us move on to the second level that is 2. |
| 00:40 | To increase the level of the training to 2, click on the top triangle symbol, next to the Level field. |
| 00:48 | Notice what happens when we change the level to 2. |
| 00:52 | The characters in the Teacher’s Line change! |
| 00:56 | Look at the characters displayed under the New Characters in This Level field. They’ve changed too! |
| 01:02 | These are the characters that are to be practiced for the selected level. |
| 01:07 | Now, let’s start typing. |
| 01:09 | Now let us type a character that is not displayed in the 'Teacher’s Line'. |
| 01:14 | The Student's Line changes to red. |
| 01:17 | What else do you see? |
| 01:19 | The percentage displayed in the Correctness field decreases. |
| 01:23 | Let’s press backspace and delete the mistake. |
| 01:27 | Let us learn to set Training Options. |
| 01:31 | What are Training Options? |
| 01:33 | We use 'Training Options' to change the parameters for typing speed and correctness (percentage of typing accuracy). |
| 01:41 | We can also customize the number of lines that can be typed in a particular level. |
| 01:47 | From the main menu, select Settings and click Configure KTouch. |
| 01:52 | The Configure – KTouch dialog box appears. |
| 01:56 | From the left panel of the Configure – KTouch dialog box, click Training Options. |
| 02:02 | The right panel now displays the various 'Training Options'. |
| 02:06 | Let’s set the upper limit for the Typing speed, Correctness and Workload. |
| 02:13 | Under Limits to increase a level, let us: |
| 02:15 | set the Typing Speed to 120 characters per minute, Correctness to 85%. |
| 02:24 | Finally let’s set Workload to 1. |
| 02:27 | This means that we need to complete only one line in each level. |
| 02:31 | We then will automatically move to the next level. |
| 02:36 | If you want to complete the training for a level before you proceed to the next level, check the "Complete whole training level before proceeding" box. |
| 02:46 | Let’s set the lower limit for the Typing speed and Correctness. |
| 02:50 | Under Limits to decrease a level, let us: |
| 02:53 | set the Typing Speed to 60 characters per minute and Correctness to 60. |
| 03:00 | Let’s check the box Remember level for next program start. |
| 03:06 | Click Apply. Click OK. |
| 03:09 | Changes we made are applied only when we start a new session again. |
| 03:14 | Click Start New Session and select Keep Current Level. |
| 03:20 | Let’s start typing again. |
| 03:23 | Notice that initially the speed is 0. It increases or decreases as we type. |
| 03:30 | Click Pause Session. When we pause the typing speed remains at the same count. |
| 03:38 | Let us resume typing. |
| 03:40 | As the speed drops below 60, notice that the red circle next to Speed is glowing. |
| 03:47 | This indicates that speed has fallen below the lower limit, that is 60, set for the speed. |
| 03:54 | Now, type the number 4 that is not displayed in the 'Teacher’s Line'. |
| 03:59 | The 'Student’s Line' turns red. |
| 04:02 | The percentage of the Correctness drops too. |
| 04:05 | Can you see the spaces between set of characters or character given in the 'Teacher’s Line'? |
| 04:11 | Now, I shall not press the Space bar after this word. |
| 04:15 | The 'Student’s Line' has turned red again! |
| 04:18 | This means the spaces too must be typed in correctly. |
| 04:22 | Let us complete typing an entire line in the student’s line and then press Enter. |
| 04:31 | The Level has changed to 3! |
| 04:33 | Why does the level change to 3? This is because we have set the Workload to 1. |
| 04:39 | Therefore, when we complete one line for Level 2 and press Enter, we move to the next level. |
| 04:47 | Notice that the new characters are displayed in the 'Teacher’s Line'. |
| 04:52 | Do you want to know the scores of our typing session? |
| 04:55 | Click Lecture Statistics. The Training statistics dialog box appears. |
| 05:02 | Let’s click on the "tabs" and see what each of them indicate. |
| 05:07 | Click on Current Training Session. |
| 05:12 | This displays the general statistics details, rate of typing, accuracy of typing and details of the characters that you need to concentrate on. |
| 05:22 | The Current Level Statistics tab displays details similar to the one displayed in the Current Training Session tab. |
| 05:31 | The Monitor Progress tab displays a graphical representation of the progress of your typing. |
| 05:38 | Let us close this dialog box. |
| 05:41 | You can also create your own "shortcut keys". |
| 05:45 | What are shortcut keys? |
| 05:47 | Shortcut keys are combinations of two or more keys which can be pressed from the keyboard, instead of using the menu options. |
| 05:56 | Let us configure a shortcut key to view Lecture Statistics. |
| 06:01 | From the main menu, click Settings > Configure Shortcuts. |
| 06:06 | The Configure Shortcuts – KTouch dialog box appears. |
| 06:10 | In the Search box enter Lecture Statistics. |
| 06:16 | Click Lecture Statistics. Select Custom and click None. The icon changes to Input. |
| 06:24 | Now, from the keyboard, press the Shift and A keys together. |
| 06:30 | Notice that the icon now displays the letters "Shift+A". Click OK. |
| 06:38 | Now, press the Shift and A keys together. The Training Statistics dialog box appears. |
| 06:45 | Click Close to exit. |
| 06:49 | KTouch also allows you to configure toolbars. |
| 06:53 | Let us say we want to display the Quit Ktouch command as an icon. |
| 06:58 | From the main menu, click Settings and click Configure Toolbars. |
| 07:03 | The Configure Toolbars – KTouch dialog box appears. |
| 07:07 | In the left panel, from the list of option, select the Quit icon. Double-click on it. |
| 07:15 | The icon is moved to the right panel. Click Apply and then click OK. |
| 07:22 | The Quit icon is now displayed on the KTouch window. |
| 07:26 | This brings us to the end of this tutorial on KTouch. |
| 07:30 | In this tutorial, we learnt how to modify the training level, monitor the speed, and accuracy of typing. |
| 07:38 | We also learnt to configure keyboard short cuts and toolbars. |
| 07:43 | Here is an assignment for you. |
| 07:46 | Under Configure KTouch, change the Workload to 2. |
| 07:50 | Check the "Complete whole training level before proceeding" box. |
| 07:56 | Now, open a new typing session and practice typing. |
| 08:00 | Finally, check your Lecture Statistics. |
