00:00:22,407 --> 00:00:28,116
Unit 6. Velotype.
Element 3. Typing skills.

2
00:00:32,109 --> 00:00:34,782
Learning all key combinations.

3
00:00:35,541 --> 00:00:39,963
This video lecture gives
an introduction to the Velotype keyboard

4
00:00:39,963 --> 00:00:42,603
and the principle of how it works.

5
00:00:42,603 --> 00:00:46,728
Besides that it will show the use
of the Velotype academy

6
00:00:46,728 --> 00:00:48,939
which is the interactive software 

7
00:00:48,939 --> 00:00:52,206
to learn how to use the Velotype
step by step.

8
00:00:52,206 --> 00:00:55,605
You will briefly see
how the Academy is installed

9
00:00:55,605 --> 00:00:57,872
and the structure of the software.

10
00:00:58,872 --> 00:01:00,753
This is the agenda.

11
00:01:00,753 --> 00:01:04,581
We will first look at
how to get started with the Velotype.

12
00:01:04,581 --> 00:01:07,114
Followed by the theory of the Velotype

13
00:01:07,122 --> 00:01:10,125
and then how to use
the Velotype Academy.

14
00:01:10,125 --> 00:01:11,805
In the end the summary.

15
00:01:13,161 --> 00:01:15,471
Getting started with Velotype.

16
00:01:16,659 --> 00:01:19,563
The Velotype is recognized
by the computer

17
00:01:19,563 --> 00:01:22,469
as a standard USB keyboard.

18
00:01:22,469 --> 00:01:27,615
It can directly be connected
to the computer using the USB cable

19
00:01:27,615 --> 00:01:31,620
and it is not necessary
to install any drivers.

20
00:01:31,620 --> 00:01:34,446
The only thing the user has to do

21
00:01:34,446 --> 00:01:38,076
is to set the operating system
in the menu of the Velotype.

22
00:01:38,076 --> 00:01:41,409
That is Windows, Apple or Linux.

23
00:01:41,409 --> 00:01:44,973
And besides that set
the correct keyboard layout

24
00:01:44,973 --> 00:01:47,217
that the computer expects

25
00:01:47,217 --> 00:01:50,088
for example US international.

26
00:01:50,088 --> 00:01:55,203
These settings can also be changed
at any time if necessary.

27
00:01:55,203 --> 00:01:58,833
More information
about the settings and specifications 

28
00:01:58,833 --> 00:02:02,694
of the Velotype keyboard
can be found in the manual.

29
00:02:03,981 --> 00:02:07,149
The Velotype Academy software
can be downloaded

30
00:02:07,149 --> 00:02:12,099
from the Velotype website:
www.velotype.com.

31
00:02:12,099 --> 00:02:17,412
Select the correct operating system
and install the software.

32
00:02:17,412 --> 00:02:22,098
After starting the software,
you will need to create the user.

33
00:02:22,098 --> 00:02:26,751
Secondly you select the language
in which you want to type or practice.

34
00:02:26,751 --> 00:02:32,262
This will depend on the languages
installed on your Velotype keyboard.

35
00:02:32,262 --> 00:02:35,331
And then you can get started
with the course.

36
00:02:35,331 --> 00:02:38,367
Either starting the course
from the beginning

37
00:02:38,367 --> 00:02:41,172
continuing the course
where you left off

38
00:02:41,172 --> 00:02:45,066
or rehearsing lessons
that you already finished.

39
00:02:45,066 --> 00:02:50,808
Per lesson you can see an overview
of the combinations in that lesson.

40
00:02:50,808 --> 00:02:54,913
You can practice the combinations
in a very visual way.

41
00:02:54,922 --> 00:02:57,474
You can practise composed words.

42
00:02:57,474 --> 00:03:00,444
You can do a repetition
of the combinations

43
00:03:00,444 --> 00:03:02,655
and words of that lesson.

44
00:03:02,655 --> 00:03:05,262
And you can practise sentences

45
00:03:05,262 --> 00:03:10,509
comprising of the words
and combinations you learned so far.

46
00:03:10,509 --> 00:03:15,954
The Velotype Academy will only work
when a Velotype keyboard is connected.

47
00:03:17,350 --> 00:03:19,485
The theory of Velotype.

48
00:03:20,772 --> 00:03:26,448
Above you can see how the hands
are placed on the Velotype keyboard.

49
00:03:26,448 --> 00:03:30,573
The colors correspond to the fingers
used for the keys.

50
00:03:30,573 --> 00:03:36,249
For example, it can be seen that
the most flexible finger of the hand

51
00:03:36,249 --> 00:03:39,252
the thumb, plays an important role.

52
00:03:39,252 --> 00:03:43,146
And even the palm is used to press keys.

53
00:03:43,146 --> 00:03:46,644
The keyboard is divided into 3 parts.

54
00:03:46,644 --> 00:03:49,383
To the left of the keyboard
are the keys 

55
00:03:49,383 --> 00:03:52,650
that create the initial consonants
of a syllable.

56
00:03:52,650 --> 00:03:55,521
In the middle the keys
to make the vowels.

57
00:03:55,521 --> 00:03:59,283
And on the right the keys
to make the final consonants.

58
00:04:01,098 --> 00:04:03,573
We start typing some letters.

59
00:04:03,573 --> 00:04:09,216
The first image shows how keys 1 on 1
correspond to single letters.

60
00:04:09,216 --> 00:04:13,836
Some letters are created by pressing
2 keys at the same time

61
00:04:13,836 --> 00:04:16,311
as shown in the second image.

62
00:04:16,311 --> 00:04:21,096
In the third image shows
that start consonants

63
00:04:21,096 --> 00:04:23,571
vowels and end consonants

64
00:04:23,571 --> 00:04:27,828
can be pressed simultaneously
to create whole syllables.

65
00:04:27,828 --> 00:04:32,250
And the final image shows
a complete Dutch sentence.

66
00:04:32,250 --> 00:04:36,507
A space automatically appears
after each press of keys.

67
00:04:36,507 --> 00:04:39,774
By simultaneously pressing
the No-Space key

68
00:04:39,774 --> 00:04:41,424
with the palm of the hand

69
00:04:41,424 --> 00:04:43,932
the syllables are stuck together.

70
00:04:43,932 --> 00:04:47,166
See the animations
on the Velotype website:

71
00:04:47,166 --> 00:04:52,875
www.velotype.com in the part
of functioning-keyboard.

72
00:04:55,416 --> 00:04:57,891
Using the Velotype Academy.

73
00:04:58,914 --> 00:05:03,369
The Velotype academy is divided
into 15 lessons.

74
00:05:03,369 --> 00:05:07,494
In the first lesson you will learn
the keys and key combinations

75
00:05:07,494 --> 00:05:09,870
for the starting position.

76
00:05:09,870 --> 00:05:14,358
On the screen you will see the keyboard
and how to place the hands.

77
00:05:14,358 --> 00:05:19,902
The key or keys which need to be pressed
appear in a dark green color.

78
00:05:19,902 --> 00:05:26,040
And below, between the hands,
you will see what should be the result.

79
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,680
When you press the key or keys

80
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:33,234
the output of the Velotype will appear
in the black textbox.

81
00:05:33,234 --> 00:05:36,567
And in the yellow window
you will get feedback 

82
00:05:36,567 --> 00:05:38,283
after you press the keys.

83
00:05:38,283 --> 00:05:41,913
Either you pressed them correctly
or incorrectly.

84
00:05:41,913 --> 00:05:47,457
After you pressed the keys, the Academy
will continue to the next combination.

85
00:05:47,457 --> 00:05:52,968
After you progress, help from
the hands and keys will disappear

86
00:05:52,968 --> 00:05:57,522
and you will need to try to type
the combinations without the help.

87
00:05:57,522 --> 00:05:59,469
If you are stuck with this

88
00:05:59,469 --> 00:06:03,000
you can always press
on the Velotype professor icon

89
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:07,686
in the righthand bottom corner
to change the level of assistance.

90
00:06:09,831 --> 00:06:12,735
After learning
the basic key combinations

91
00:06:12,735 --> 00:06:16,299
it is time to combine syllables
into words.

92
00:06:16,299 --> 00:06:21,942
In a Starwars like screen,
the composed words will appear

93
00:06:21,942 --> 00:06:24,384
which need to be typed.

94
00:06:24,384 --> 00:06:27,453
With every key combination
on Velotype

95
00:06:27,453 --> 00:06:30,357
you automatically get a space after it.

96
00:06:30,357 --> 00:06:34,218
Unless you press the ‘No-space’ key
with the palm of your hand.

97
00:06:34,218 --> 00:06:37,716
So in the example above
you would firstly press

98
00:06:37,716 --> 00:06:43,524
the keys I (middle) and N (right)
to produce the word 'in'.

99
00:06:43,524 --> 00:06:45,570
And release the keys.

100
00:06:45,570 --> 00:06:52,797
Then you press T (left) and O (middle)
together with the No-Space key.

101
00:06:54,744 --> 00:06:57,285
After practicing the composed words

102
00:06:57,285 --> 00:07:02,433
you will repeat the combinations
and combined words as extra practice.

103
00:07:02,433 --> 00:07:07,284
It is important to thoroughly practice
on individual words

104
00:07:07,284 --> 00:07:09,693
before taking a next step.

105
00:07:11,112 --> 00:07:15,402
And as a last step you start
to practice the sentences.

106
00:07:15,402 --> 00:07:20,418
You can go to the next line
by pressing the ZZ combination.

107
00:07:20,418 --> 00:07:25,071
It is not necessary
to correct your mistakes at this time.

108
00:07:25,071 --> 00:07:27,216
However if you would like to

109
00:07:27,216 --> 00:07:33,420
you can erase the last combination
you typed with either CRRC

110
00:07:33,420 --> 00:07:36,192
to be remembered by the word CoRReCtion

111
00:07:36,217 --> 00:07:38,266
or SNNS.

112
00:07:41,208 --> 00:07:42,693
The summary.

113
00:07:43,815 --> 00:07:46,917
In this video lecture
we gave an introduction

114
00:07:46,917 --> 00:07:51,273
how to use the Velotype keyboard
and the Velotype Academy.

115
00:07:51,273 --> 00:07:54,804
It is important to know
your software and hardware.

116
00:07:54,804 --> 00:07:58,434
When practicing the keyboard,
be patient and disciplined.

117
00:07:58,434 --> 00:08:02,724
As always, it is important to learn
the key combinations correctly

118
00:08:02,724 --> 00:08:06,684
so you will benefit from learning it
correctly in the end.

119
00:08:06,684 --> 00:08:10,446
From the start,
don’t look at your hands!
