look really clean! I've been using 10fastfingers but always wondered about where the "instant result" and this makes it easy to see it as I go

suggestion:

- if the title of the passage could be displayed in the result page it'd be cool too, sometimes I can't look at the title of the passage while typing.

- turns out I mess up up typing a lot, would you consider allowing use of "ctrl + a" to select entire word for faster deleting of the text?

Thanks! I hope that it can find a balance between instant feedback and useful information and statistics over time.

I'll look at adding the title now; would it be useful to have the option to see the entire passage after completion?

Thanks for the feedback!

having the option to see the entire passage and its source after completion would be awesome!

Ctrl + A is currently disabled to try to encourage normal typing practices (I'm not sure how many places you enter one word at a time!) Perhaps it could be an optional setting?

It is a good idea to disable "ctrl + a" I was just annoyed that it made my score lower :p

Always looking for a tool to do this, your solution looks really elegant and handy - love the report page.

What do you plan to do with the "recommendations" feature?
