tt is a terminal based typing test.
By default tt creates a test consisting of 50 randomly generated words from the top 1000 words in the English language. If provided with a path, tt will use the given file as
input treating each paragraph as a separate segment of the test. The program will automatically keep track of your position in the file so subsequent invocations on the same
path will place you at the most recent paragraph (-start 0 can be used to reset your position).
Arbitrary text can also be piped directly into the program to create a custom test. Each paragraph of the input is treated as a segment unless ‘-multi’ is supplied in which case each paragraph is treated as a separate test.
tt is designed to be easily scriptable and integrate nicely with other *nix tools. With a little shell scripting most features the user can conceive of should be possible to implement
This is free and open source software.
