KTouch remembers you! Basically whatever you type is recorded and some useful (and sometimes just interesting) statistics are created. KTouch stores statistical data based on the lecture file you use for training. For every lecture file a separate history is kept. KTouch also distinguishes between level and practice session statistics. This is important to prevent cheating :-).
Whenever you start a new training session a new statistics record is started. KTouch remembers several things to assess your skill and to help you identify problem keys:
Using training session statistics you and KTouch can evaluate your overall performance and skill in a certain training lecture.
For each level in your training session (i.e. all levels you typed text in) the same statistics as for the training session are obtained. Using level statistics data you can investigate your progress in each level of a training lecture (and you will notice how your skill increases level by level and you can concentrate on the levels which still cause problems).
-> or the statistics button in the toolbar opens the statistics dialog. It displays your current training and level statistics and shows a graphical history of previous training sessions.
When you open the statistics dialog you can select a Session Statistics Page and a Level Statistics Page. The first page gives you a summary about everything you typed so far. The Level Statistics Page only contains the stats for the current level. This is useful to distinguish between overall performance and skill in certain levels.
The third statistics page gives you a graphical overview of your typing skill by offering several choices. A note about the time scaling option. Whenever a session or level statistic is obtained, also the date is stored. So you can also see how your skill dropped in long training breaks and when you last practiced a certain lecture or level.
