Re: [ScriptingRT] Collect keyboard typing speed

[Thomas Schubert]

Chris,

no, this is probably not easy to do in scripting, which is not made for
entries of larger text.

I recommend using qualtrics or simple html files, and adding event
handlers for the textfields, which can trigger functions to save
timestamps for the entered keys. Shouldn't be too difficult. We have
just done something similar in qualtrics where we monitor and record
timestamped keystrokes while an embedded youtube video is played.

Dear Pr Thomas Schubert,

Many thanks for your recommendations !

I finally plunge into Scripting RT : thank you for it and for the clear explanations of the manual.
I put it aside and will probably use it later.

So now, it's Qualtrics exploration time...

Best regards,

Chris
