Alternative Ngram Patterns for Ngram Type? #24

Hey,

I hope you're well.

First, I want you to know that I greatly appreciate your Ngram Type program. I started using your little tool a few months ago to learn the basic patterns to help touch type more fluently. Presently, I have achieved that goal, now able to cruise type at around 85 wpm. So, thank you. Ngram type has been of great help to me.

Now, however, I would like to try to start typing anything at all at much higher speeds; for that, I believe I will need to learn other Ngram patterns, maybe ones from other English word lists. So, I wanted to touch base and ask if you would consider adding Ngram lists from English 1000 and 5000-word lists and perhaps look at adding a punctuation option.

Thanks and regards,

Psychoxd

@xdPsychoxd Sorry for the late reply. Glad that my tool helped you. :)

Yeah, I'm also thinking about implementing the Top 500 and beyond. My main issue is that my reference for Bigrams has data up to 669 only, while Trigrams/Tetragrams have data even beyond 1000. If you could refer me a link of Top 1000 Bigrams and/or beyond that would be great.

For punctuations, capitalizations, and/or numbers, I think you could use the Custom option?

Hey mate,

Apologies for the very belated reply.

I've been using your Ngram program twice a day for over a year, and it's become an invaluable tool. I love it, so thank you again for creating such a useful muscle memory app.

As you can imagine, my ability to type Ngrams is almost flawless, and now I'm wanting to further develop my punctuation and odd keyboard characters, like "square brackets" and so forth. I was wondering if you had any "custom" inputs that I could practice with the current bi, tri, and tetragrams where I could practice the following characters (( . , ; : ‘ ’ “ ” [ ], and )), as well as numbering, as this is where my weak areas are.

Thanks again, looking forward to hearing from you.
