The final version of this tool is not available yet but you can right away test the same version that I'm using at home everyday. If the demand is strong enough, it will be finalized and offered on this web site. Here is what you have to know:

  • There is no installation procedure. This is just a zipped executable that you can place where you want.
  • The handled keys are "a, e, i, o, u, c" as well as corresponding upper letters. This beta version is therefore useful for french only. The "$" key also gives you common monetary symbols.
  • The timer used by the metronome has a 350ms period. IF this is not suitable to your typing speed, know that this is value will be an editable parameter in a future version.
  • The sound of the metronome can't be changed right now.
  • This software will stop working on and after July 8, 2013. Until then, the final version should be ready.
  • It has been run only under Windows 7, 32 and 64 bits, with a US keyboard set in the regional settings. Requires .Net 2 (which is surely already installed on your machine).

I accept to be fully responsible for installing and using this software, including the direct or indirect damages it could do to my computer and to my data resulting from this use.
