PROBLEM DEFINITION:
Typing is the process of writing or inputting text by pressing keys on a
typewriter, Computer Keyboard ,Cell Phone, or Calculator. It can be
distinguished from other means of text input, such as handwriting and
speech recognition. Text can be in the form of letters, numbers and other
symbols.
One of the most important reasons for teaching keyboarding to
students is to provide technical skill. Keyboarding has become a
necessary skill for education and most careers. It has even become an
integral part of social relationships, helping to support email, social
media, and other forms of communication.
Typing Fast and Accurate can be difficult. It’s becoming more and more
common for students to take notes on computers in college and even in
high school. And it makes sense. A proficient typist can record down
ideas much faster than anyone can write by hand.

MEMBER FUNCTION USED IN APPLICATION:
start_screen() : It consists of text for welcoming the user and make an
environment for the user to type in.
display_text() : It will display different random texts, which user can
type in to find his words per minute and accuracy
load_text(): It will load the random texts, from the text while .
wpm_test(): It will calculate the WPM, and accuracy of the user. It will
calculate WPM by calculating no.of characters typed by 5.
main() :This function will get the input from the user and will be typed
in the box.
7
PROBLEM ANALYSIS:
There are three tables created in this application.
Name: This table will collect the names of the user,
Highscores : It consists of Users’ names with their highest WPM
for a given paragraph.
Paragraphs: This table consists of random paragraphs with
different difficulties level.
HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS:
8
# Hardware:
Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse.
Computer with RAM of at least 1 GB.
System Type: At least 32 bit operating system.
# Software:
Windows (7/8/10) or Linux.
Programming Language: Python 3.7 or Later.
SCOPE FOR FUTURE ENHANCEMENT :

Enables You to Focus on Your Ideas:
Hunt and peck typing takes a lot more thought and attention than touch
typing.
In fact, touch typists don’t even need to think about where the keys are
for a second. The muscle memory in their fingers helps them type with
ease.
This means that touch typists can put all of their thought and attention on
the work at hand. Whether it’s writing an email, rap lyrics, or an
important memo, mastering typing means you can spend your mental
energy where it’s most needed.
Helps You Communicate More Efficiently:
One thing kids love to do? Chat with their friends. And increasingly,
digital communication is becoming a huge part of how students
communicate.
Communicating with your friends in real time requires getting your
fingers moving while keeping accuracy up.
Makes it Easier to Take Notes:
10
It’s becoming more and more common for students to take notes on
computers in college and even high school. And it makes sense. A
proficient typist can record down ideas much faster than she can write
by hand.
Being quick on the keyboard means you’ll be able to keep up with a
fast-talking professor and ace your next exam.
Prepares You for Your Future Career:
Almost all top professions today require typing competency. From
medicine to law and from fashion design to business, typing is a regular
part of the job.
Working on your WPM will ensure that when you land your dream job
your slow typing skills won’t hold you back from meeting your full
potential.
Helps You Land the Job:
Before you can rock at your dream job, though, you have to land it. And
tough but true, how one types is often seen as an indicator of
intelligence.
11
If your resume is riddled with careless typing errors, or if the process of
writing an email is a laborious task, chances are you won’t get hired in
the first place.
