 ====== 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.
-===== Starting Off ======
-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.
-===== Statistics =====
+===== Technical Considerations ======
-The Twiddler Typing Tutor automatically captures statistics about your typing.  There are a few stats shown on the main page.  They are updated after you complete every "sentence". More in-depth statistics are shown on the Profile Page.  You can get there by clicking on the Profile Button at the top right of the page.
+Tutor saves all statistical information in a local "cookie" on your device. Cookies must be enabled in your browser settings for this data to be saved and retrieved.  If you have cookies enabled but cleared out after your browser closes, this will also wipe out any historical Tutor data.  To get around this, just add [*.]tekgear.com as an exception to your cookie rule.

+**Average Score** is the chart that shows your average typing score. The more practice you do, the higher your average should get!
-If you are finding the first lessons quite easy you can adjust the lesson complexity slider a bit more to the right.  The further right you go, the higher the level of complexity of the phrases.
-If you are finding the sentences too short to get in a "groove", slide the lesson length slider to the right.
+**Average Time Spent** shows the average amount of time you put in practicing with the Typing Tutor.
-If you want to practice with Capital Letters, check off the Enable Capital letters box.
-If you want to practice punctuation, click off the Enable punctuation characters box.

-=== Keyboard Layout Tab ===
-You can change this to reflect the keyboard layout you are used to.
+**Common Key Errors** is a bar graph that shows the wrong keys you commonly press and how many times you press it by mistake. This graph should help you identify which keys you may want to put more practice on.
