Chapter 1. Using KTouch

Introduction

What is KTouch?

KTouch is a program for learning to touch type.

KTouch provides you with text to train on and adjusts to different levels depending on how good you are. It shows your keyboard and indicates which key to press next and the correct finger to use.


The main screen of KTouch

KTouch is an excellent touch typing tutor. You learn typing with all fingers, step by step, without having to look down at the keyboard all the time to find your keys (which slows you down a lot). It is convenient for all ages and the perfect typing tutor for schools, universities and individuals. It is free and licensed under the GNU Public License, so you will never have to pay anything for the program or any update.

Features

In its current version, KTouch 1.5 has quite a number of helpful features, such as:

  • Support for many different training lectures in many languages including language specific text fonts and a comfortable lecture editor
  • Support for different keyboard layouts with the ability to use user-defined layouts
  • During your training session comprehensive statistical information is obtained to help you (or your teacher) analyse your progress

Many other features are included and will be discussed in the appropriate chapters of this manual.
