  The difference is, that ktouch displays a keyboard layout and directs the 
typer, to what keys are to be hit, and doesn't allow you to continue, if you 
made an error.  It's primary target is the novice typist.  My application is 
directed towards the next stage, where you type in the text in full detail, 
only marginally directed to where in the original text you are.  The goal is 
speed typing, where the typist is to have all his focus on the text and not 
on the keyboard, or errors (blind typing).  And where a large portion of the 
text is visible, as the typist is likely to be using his vision to peek-ahead 
in the text.  There is also a vocal dictation in the works. All text 
corrections are made after the text has been fully entered, within a given 
timeframe.  

  There is also a ktouch like program, in the package ... but it is not being 
actively developed, due to ktouch being out there.

  Additionally, there is a program to edit the exam environment.  It is a 
program with datatables, to peek into SQL tables and see the results, define 
exam texts and environmental detail.  Print out results, and make corrections 
if needed. 


Mvh,
