Development of a Typing Skill Learning Environment with Diagnosis and Advice on Fingering Errors

Existing application software for touch typing training cannot diagnose fingering errors. Given this fact, we developed a skill learning environment for touch typing training that can diagnose fingering errors by recognizing fingers with color markers using image recognition technique. This study developed two systems: a learning support environment for an experimental group and a learning environment for a control group. We evaluated the effect of the learning environment that can diagnose fingering errors for the experimental group, by comparison with the other learning environment for the control group.
