Hello everyone, I've been using keybr for a few days now and the letters from the initial lesson have all been green for a long time. Unfortunately, new letters just don't get added. Are there any settings that affect the appearance of new letters? I'm already quite frustrated because it just doesn't go on. I'm using the premium version. Thanks a lot for your hints and best regards, Moritz

I had the same experiece when starting out, I believe it waits for speed to buid up. But if you want to make it advance faster, go to practice -> settings (top right) -> Tab "lessons" -> move the "add letters to words" slider. It shows you live how much it unlocks.

Premium version does not make a difference. I regret my purchase, wanted to support the dev for his good work, however its unclear where he is. The project is no longer maingained it seemes and is falling appart. No responses to emais, the discord is a mess of spam bots. Profile sharing has been boken for a little while now. I hope the dev is alive at least and I imagine them doing an offline world tour with the few funds trickling in.

Btw. I had left it at defaults and it moved a bit fast for me later on. Possibly because picking up new keys was too easy, as all others were already so burend in.

Hi,
I have the same problem. The first 6 characters have gone green. But, it  doesn't move to the next one. I don't want to move to the  next character manually because I want the algorithm  automatically determine my practice plan. The only problem is that I can't recognize my progress is slow or there is a bug in the algorithm. I hope someone could explain what's happening!

Yes, that happens to me too I keep adding 2 words in 3-4 days until the listed letters become green. You can do the same.

In my experience, the algorithm unlocks a new letter only after achieving a full confidence level. You have to make sure the confidence level of each alphabet is 1. Hover over all the green letters to see your current confidence level.

Same here. I got stuck with P for few days. But eventually I got past it. But now I am stuck with Q for a week. Q confidence is about 0.98 but I have problem with F and V which have fallen to 0.52 and 0.6. Main problem is that F and V occur once per every 15-20 lessons and confidence can't build up. I am really starting to hate this site. Probably it would be best to just start writing and forget this site. At the beginning it was fun though.

Don't worry about the speed of the whole group of words; focus on the speed from the previous to the target letter. In other words, if 'q' is the target letter, when you get to it, for example, the word 'acquire,' only worry about the speed and accuracy of getting from c to q. If you find that you aren't doing well with the passage (e.g. you've missed a bunch of 'q's), hit escape and start over before finishing the group/passage. Doing that keeps the algorithm from lowering the confidence score. Once that score starts going in reverse, it'll take several 'CONSECUTIVE SUCCESSFUL' passes through to get the score needed (1) to pass the letter.

I never worried about any letter other than the 'q.' Once I got to each q, I ensured I got it right, even if I had to hit escape on the whole passage. I learned that the hard way. It can be two steps forward and three steps back over and over and over.

Like someone else said  - you need confidence level 1 to progress. Accuracy isn't taken into account - it's more about speed. You can brute force your way through the lessons.
