Typing tutor software

If this is in the wrong discussion group, I apologise.
I'm looking for a typing tutor for my MacBook Air. I'm a hunt and peck type, and need to learn how to touch type.
I write for a living, so it's vital that I master this skill.
can anybody make a recommendation for either a free or paid for app. that may meet my needs?
thanks in advance.

The following one is free and has good reviews in the Mac App store. I have not used it myself. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/typist/id415166115?mt=12

Touch typing tutor for OS 9?

Hello there,
Perhaps this isn't the right board for this question, but here goes anyway!
I'm looking for a child-friendly, freeware touch-typing tutor program that I can install on 6 iBooks I want to use with my class... Does anyone know of such a piece of software?
Thanks very much in advance...
Steve

I remember using this a long time ago. It was fun and child friendly; it has typing games.

I don't remember if I used this version, but this one says it works with 9.1. Pretty close to being free...

PC has died so now I have to run my kids tutoring software on my mac. Can anyone tell me what I need to do this? The software disk isn't recognised by the mac.

My PC has died and I now have to run my kids tutoring software on my mac but it's not compatible. What do I need to do to get it to work on my macbook pro?

If it's Windows 7 compatible you can use Apple's Bootcamp and create a partition on the drive (if there is room) and install Windows 7 there, then install the tutoring program while option booted into Windows. This is expensive and cumbersome for a simple program.
https://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
Another option would be to use virtual machine software like VMFusion (Apple sells), Parallels Desktop or the free (but a tiny bit harder to set up) VirtualBox from Oracle.
Virtual machine programs run multiple operating systems under the parent OS, this case OS X, in a seperate window(s) or uses the full screen.
Both solutions will require a FULL Windows 7 install disk, running about $300 for both 32/64 bit in the same box. Your machine will be tied up while the child is using it.
Another option is to simply buy a another Windows 7 PC, or use another OS X compatible tutoring program.
You can check over at CrossWeavers if the tutoring program can be run on OS X with a emulator you buy from them (less than Windows or a new box), not all Windows programs can, but you might be lucky and it runs fine with no issues.

Arcade Typing Tutor

I downloaded Arcade Typing Tutor 1.5 from the Apple Downloads web site onto two iMac machines and it will not run on either. Both are running OS 10.4.11. One is a PowerPC and the other an Intel machine. I double-click the application, it shows up briefly on the dock and then disappears.
Anyone know what's up?

Hi comod1, and a warm welcome to the forums!
I don't have it to test unfortunately... on Dial-up here.
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, when that completes...
Reboot.
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.

Typing Tutor program

Hi,
Trying to write a typing tutor program. As you type a character it checks if it matches with the JTextArea. If it does match, it takes a snapshot of the text in the JTextField. If its wrong it sets the text back to the snapshot.
However, when I set the text back to the snapshot it displays the key typed aswell. How do I remove this character, so that only the snapshot is visible.
Heres the code:
//file:TTutor.java
//GUI typing tutor
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.lang.String.*;
class TTutor extends JFrame{
    String[] phrase = {"In a world full of people", "Only some want to fly", "Isn't that crazy?"};
     final JTextArea area = new JTextArea();
     final JTextField field = new JTextField(40);
    String failString= new String("");
    int caretp;
    int x, y;
    GridBagConstraints constraints = new GridBagConstraints();
    int i = 0;
    public TTutor(){
     super("TTutor v1.0");
     setSize(600, 300);
     setLocation(200, 200);
     setLayout(new GridBagLayout());
     area.setFont(new Font("Serif",Font.PLAIN, 18));
     area.setText(phrase[0]);
     area.setEditable(false);
     Container content = getContentPane();
     addGB(area, x=1, y=0);
     Image image = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage("keyboard.jpg");
     addGB(new ImageComponent(image), x=1, y=1);
     addGB(field, x=1, y=2);
     setVisible(true);
     field.requestFocus();
     field.addKeyListener(new MyKeyListener());
     void addGB(Component component, int x, int y){
         constraints.gridx=x;
         constraints.gridy=y;
         add(component, constraints);
    public void update(KeyEvent ke){
     char c = ke.getKeyChar();
     String cs = Character.toString(c);
     char ac = area.getText().charAt(i);
      String as = String.valueOf(ac);
      if (as.equals(cs)){
       snapshot();
          i++;
       System.out.println("match");
      if (!as.equals(cs)){
       wrong();
      System.out.println("wrong");
    void snapshot(){
         failString = field.getText();
     caretp = field.getCaretPosition();
    void wrong(){
     /*Probelm is here:
       How do I get the textField to write the string minus the key typed
      field.setText("");
      field.setText(failString);
      field.setCaretPosition(caretp);
    public static void main(String[] args){
     JFrame f = new TTutor();
     f.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter(){
          public void windowClosing(WindowEvent we){System.exit(0);}
     f.setVisible(true);
public class MyKeyListener extends KeyAdapter{
    public void keyTyped(KeyEvent ke){
     update(ke);
     Regards ABourke.

Ideally I would like to get the TextField to work like the one in this demo:

Access .mdb asking for login and password in Crystal Reports.

Hello Experts,
I am VERY new to Crystal reports and I am am having a Major problem running a VERY simple report.
First off I am using Visual Basic 2008 to create a Crystal Reports Application...
I am using the Report Wizard to create and the Northwind database as my database or OLE DB(ADO).
The provider I am using is the"Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider".
I am NOT entering a User ID or Password in the wizard and the Access file is NOT protected.
Everything seems to work fine and I can see the report in the "Main Report Preview" but when I start Debugging to see the report in the form it prompts for a User ID and Password....
If i type nothing and just hit finish it says "Logon Failed"
If i hit cancel no report is generated..
I have been messing with this for days now...
I have tried using Visual Basic 2010... Same results.
I have tried Office 2003, 2007, and 2010... Same results.
I Have uninstalled and reinstalled Visual Basic 2008...
My professor suggested this link to fix: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/888734
This does not work either... Nor do I have "Typing Tutor Deluxe" by Global Software Publishing installed...
PLEASE HELP ME so I can learn Crystal Reports!!!!

Please help with this!!!

Then Load it into VB and it works fine...
I CANNOT use the wizard in VB to design a report that works when i try to debug!!!

Are there any nursing program to install in-store on a macbook pro?, Are there any nursing programs to install in-store on a macbook pro?

Hello,
I just graduated High School and I was going to buy myself a Macbook Pro for school. I wanted to see if there were any type of nursing programs or softwares available for the macbook before I buy it in a store. And if so, If it can be installed before I buy it? How much, What is it called? I will be starting summer school this month and I do not plan on buying this until the fall or spring. I have looked everywhere for some kind of programs or softwares.Thank you for all your help!
-Ashley

Hi Ashley,
Don't know exactly WHAT kind of 'nursing' software you mean, but I typed "medical software mac free" in Google and I get pages and pages of the stuff !
Unlikely thus kind of software would be pre-installed, but it's easy and quick to do youself (even easier than a PC, if that's what you're used to!)
Since it's also free, you can try & discard any that don't meet your requirements.
Have a look!

Can't install LearningCompany apps & others...

Just got a new Mac Pro, and I can't seem to install a series of disks, all of which claim to be compatible with Mac OS 7 or later:
Simon & Schuster Typing Tutor
Schoolhouse Rock 3rd & 4th Grade
Learning Company Reader Rabbit Personalized Math 6-9
I Spy School Days
Behavior is the same - the CD icon appears, but nothing launches. And double clicking any obvious files in the disk just gets "You cannot open the application because it is not supported on this system." dialog.
Is Mac OS X not backward compatible for things like this?
Thanks!

You cannot use applications written for Mac OS 9 and earlier systems on a Mac Pro without use of an emulator such as SheepShaver or Basilisk; a list of emulators is available on this page.

Invalid IHTMLTxtRange::text value in contentEditable DIV element

I have a BHO on C# which works with text and selection on editable HTML elements. I observe a problem with getting a correct text using
IHTMLTxtRange interface on editable DIV element (contentEditable=true).
Here is my code:
IHTMLSelectionObject selectionObj = m_doc2.selection;
if( selectionObj != null )
IHTMLTxtRange txtRange = selectionObj.createRange() as IHTMLTxtRange;
if( txtRange != null )
txtRange.moveToElementText(
m_element );
String sText = txtRange.text;
m_element is the IHTMLElement which I'm getting text for. m_doc2 (IHTMLDocument2) is the document containing m_element.
The problem is with DIV element only and if it contains empty new lines at the end of the text. It does not depend on version of IE (at least 9 and higher)
IHTMLTxtRange::text property returns the whole text but without new lines at the end. How is it possible to get entire text for contentEditable DIV including last empty lines.
Thank you.

Hi,
\r and \n and 'C string' control characters for js strings.
JS Control Characters
'whitespace' (eg. ' ') is a textnode (in IE10 and higher) and is not equivalent to  
so you will have to change your decoding to replace the whitespace characters to  
eg. received text: "Sun\r\nMon\r\n\r\nTue" =>Sun    Tue
Sun[blank][blank]
[blank]Tue
what you need to do is to use the IE11 developer tool to inspect the generated html from your control.
f12>DOM Explorer>Find tool.... select the generated markup from your control....
the computed source will be displayed in the DOM Tree....

Sun 
Tue

in the console tab, you can query the value of the text nodes.
document.getElementById('test').textContent
Sun Tue
but because whitespace is treated as a textnode
document.getElementById('test').firstChild.tagName
#textnode
here is the content of a pre element that I use for a typing tutor, that highlights the current character that the user must keypress.
<div class="uc" id="txtscript" lang="id" dir="ltr" contenteditable="false">Semua orang dilahirkan merdeka dan mempunyai martabat dan hak-hak yang sama. Mereka dikaruniai akal dan hati nurani dan hendaknya bergaul satu sama lain dalam semangat persaudaraan.</div>
the above is pure html and javascript.... note that in the html markup [blank] spaces are replaced with   and all characters are wrapped in spans.
from the selectionstart value of the text range object (in the above text input field at the top), gives me the index of the collection of t elements. So I can use the selection start value to select the matching span element for
the keycode the user is to type next.
