 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.

-=== Learning Mode Tab ===
+**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.
+**Average Error Rate** shows the average frequency of errors you made during typing. Ideally, your error rate should decrease over time!
-=== 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.
-=== Miscellaneous ===
-Here you can change how you measure speed.  You can select Words Per Minute or Characters per minute.
-You can also enable sounds here.  They are off by default but some people find the audible feedback quite helpful.
