Typing modes and practice types

Typing Studio keeps the first experience simple, but there are still a few choices that affect how practice feels.

The main practice controls

Before you type, pay attention to these controls:

• Length changes the paragraph size
• Refresh loads a new paragraph
• Live Error Feedback controls when mistakes become visible

These are the core knobs a learner uses most often.

Two error feedback modes

The tool supports two different feedback styles:

1. Live Error Feedback on
   • mistakes turn red as you type
   • this is the most direct mode for beginners
   • use it when you want immediate correction cues
2. Live Error Feedback off
   • mistakes are not highlighted while you type
   • the run feels calmer, but error review happens after completion
   • use it when you want to test focus without constant visual interruption

How to choose paragraph length

Use shorter paragraphs when you want to:

• build confidence
• focus on rhythm
• repeat several runs quickly

Use longer paragraphs when you want to:

• test endurance
• keep your pace stable for longer
• get more meaningful speed and accuracy trends

A good beginner sequence

For a new learner, this order works well:

1. Start with a shorter paragraph.
2. Keep Live Error Feedback enabled.
3. Finish one full run without rushing.
4. Retry the same paragraph once.
5. Move to a longer paragraph only after your accuracy becomes stable.

What success looks like

You know your practice setup is working when:

• you can complete a full paragraph without quitting midway
• you understand why you chose the current length
• you can tell whether live feedback is helping or distracting you
