There is no keyboarding software on the machine. Kids can develop keyboarding skills by typing into a blank file. When they have finished they can press the F10/COUNT key to see how many words and characters were typed. They can spellcheck their work to see if they spelled the words correctly. There is no timer but a teacher can start the kids at a certain time and ask them to stop at a particular time. The teacher can provide the content (correctly spelled words) on a sheet of paper (or on the blackboard) for kids to type into their blank files. If kids make mistakes, the spellchecker finds the mistakes and the total number of mistakes can be counted.
