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.
