Frequently Asked Questions

1. Where is the old online version of Type Fu?

   Online version is no longer supported, please install the new offline version from Mac App Store or Chrome Web Store.

2. What is the purpose of "Auto-adjust dificulty level" option? How does it work?

   Enabling this option will cause difficulty level to be automatically adjusted based on your current performance. The algorithm is as follows:

   • If average speed for the last 5 completed exercises is higher than 30 WPM and accuracy is higher than 90% then difficulty level is increased.
   • If average speed for the last 5 completed exercises is lower than 20 WPM or accuracy is lower than 60% then difficulty level is decreased.
3. Will you add support for X keyboard layout?

   If the layout is widely used I might consider adding it in the next release of Type Fu. I have no plans for adding non-latin layouts (e.g. cyrylic, InScript) or layouts that are just extending already supported layout with regional signs (e.g. Czech QWERTZ, Spanish QWERTY).

4. What does "WPM" mean?

   WPM stands for "Words Per Minute". It's a unit for messuring typing speed. 1 WPM is equal to 5 CPM ("Characters Per Minute").
