+Linux.  The ingenious thing about the software is its intelligence feature:
+Characters that are mistyped are repeated more frequently.  Beginners will
+find their way around right away so they can start practicing without a hitch.
+
+Useful support functions and an extensive progress tracker, topical lessons
+and the ability to create your own practice lessons make learning to type
+easy.
+
+Note: To change the language settings choose Datei (File) →
+Grundeinstellungen (Generell Settings) → Sprache (Language) and change from
+Deutsch to English. The you have restart the program to have the change take
+effect.")
