Limited keyboard support, directed mainly to German Speaking users.

I've used this years before but after re-checking it I was kind of surprised there was no WPM (Words Per Minute) counter anywhere, instead only CPM (Characters Per Minute) is listed. Have read elsewhere that WPM is CPM/5 but it would be preferable to be displayed within such a program.

I've only used this one a little but I'm enjoying. I'm setting it up for my wife and daughter to use to practice their typing. Good little program.

Joe on 2008-06-05 18:13

I like it. In just a few months of using this, Ktouch and Klavaro I've gone from about 10 wpm (while looking back and forth from the keyboard to the monitor) to between 30 and 40 wpm without looking at the keyboard. I feel like a god.
