 ====== Twiddler Typing Tutor ======
-The Twiddler Typing Tutor is designed to rapidly increase your typing speed and proficiency with the Twiddler.
+[[https://tutor.mytwiddler.com/tutor2/|The Twiddler Typing Tutor]] is designed to rapidly increase your typing speed and proficiency with the Twiddler. We recommend you to create an account for the Tutor to view your lesson progress and stats.
-You will see two keyboards on screen:  The Twiddler3 and the standard 101 US keyboard.  The 101 keyboard is shown as a familiar reference.  Above the 101 Keyboard you will see a row of white letters on a black background.  These are the letters you need to type.
-There will be a green circle around the chord you need to press in order to type that letter.  The green circle on the 101 keyboard helps create a mental mapping of the Twiddler chord and the key on a keyboard.
+===== Technical Considerations ======

 We recommend using the standard lesson's keyset. It is fine tuned to automatically generate pseudo-English words focusing on a limited keyset (E,A,I,N,T,O and R).  As you become more proficient with this keyset, the Twiddler Typing Tutor will automatically start expanding the keyset.  This continues until you have mastered the entire alphabet.
