I wish I had time to re-do the original (cyan) Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing. The things I loved about it were:
* error analysis (ie: transposition errors, substitution errors, etc).
* finger-by-finger analysis
* lessons tailored to target speed
* metronome / rhytmic typing
It did a fantastic job of really analyzing and focusing on trouble spots, and it did it back in 1982 or whatever. I think there's a gap / opening for this sort of typing analysis backend that could be plugged in to some different frontends.
in: Source Text + User Keystrokes + Microtimestamps
out: "analysis" + recommendations for future lessons / word lists.
There's so much cool algorithmic stuff you can do with an "analysis + dictionary + markov chain lesson generation".
You really suck at xyz? Why let me generate an infinite pile of semi-nonsense that is either word or letter-pair based and tests you on that portion.
