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 practised 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 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.
03.06	Click Apply.Click OK.

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.
