Useful to know
Is the language content approved for teaching?
Personal text is provided by its author and has not been verified by OnlineTools Kenya. The nine-stage Kiswahili course is a separate unpublished educator-review candidate. Neither a personal pack’s review claim nor a practice result creates platform approval.
How are accented letters and apostrophes treated?
The engine normalizes text to NFC and uses complete Unicode graphemes. Case, punctuation, spaces and straight/curly apostrophes remain distinct. Draft IME composition is counted only when committed. A current browser with Intl.Segmenter is required for scoring.
Can I pause or practise without a timer?
Yes. Every timed typing workspace has pause and an untimed or calm alternative. A hidden tab pauses active practice and requires explicit resume.
Does this save or upload my text?
No. Session text and progress stay in page memory. There are no accounts, uploads, learner analytics or automatic backups. Downloads are created only when you ask for them.
What are the limits?
Unscored personal text editor, up to 2,000 complete characters. US QWERTY is a keyboard aid, not a separate Kiswahili alphabet. No spelling correction, transliteration, learner storage or uploads.
Where are my files and inputs processed?
This tool processes your entries on your device. It does not upload them or save them in an account. Downloads remain on your device; Reset clears the current tool workspace.
