This is my personal fork of https://code.google.com/p/amphetype/
-
Unicode -> Ascii transliteration to avoid "untypable characters", as well as some replacements of bad formatting, either via unidecode and/or manually (see Text.py)
-
Letter coloring, both in input and displayed text, based on current positions and errors
-
Invisible Mode: Makes input text invisible (for use with #2)
-
Toggle case sensitivity
-
Option for continuing to the next passage even with typing mistakes
-
Option for automatically inserting space, newline, and other custom letters
-
Option for preventing continuing to the next word until space correctly pressed
-
Extensive GUI Color Settings
-
Can change return and space characters
-
Allows for smaller resizing than vanilla Amphetype
-
Refactor so that data analysis is separate from GUI classes
-
Multiplayer?!
The database/statistics of this fork should be considered unstable. In addition, some of the options here (e.g. automatically inserting spaces or other characters) can significantly change the resulting statistics.
It is therefore recommended to use a different database for this fork than with other versions of amphetype, as well as to make regular backups of any important data.

Proper install is coming. I apologize for the current mess. It was developed on a Windows machine with few tools and no internet during a train ride and suffered a few rewrites so the filenames aren't very descriptive anymore.
To run, type:
python Amphetype.py
Depends on:
python-qt4 (that is, PyQt 4.3+)
OPTIONAL:
unidecode from https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Unidecode/
- Will attempt to transliterate unicode -> ascii using this, if available. The default methods are mostly manual (see: unicode_replacements in Text.py) and probably not as effective.
py-editdist from http://www.mindrot.org/projects/py-editdist/
- This latter dependancy is by no means critical and you will probably never get to use it. (For fetching words from a wordfile that are "similar" to your target words in the lesson generator.) If you don't have the module it will just select random words instead
