Tom Thielicke IT Solutions is a German micro-publisher that has concentrated since 2006 on a single, highly focused productivity tool: the open-source typing tutor TIPP10. Recognizing that efficient keyboard use remains a foundational skill for students, office professionals, programmers and accessibility-seekers alike, the company distilled years of pedagogical research into one lightweight Windows application. TIPP10 delivers adaptive lessons that react in real time to error patterns, automatically repeating frequently missed keys and gradually expanding the character set until the learner reaches the desired speed and accuracy. The program supports QWERTZ, QWERTY, AZERTY and several international layouts, ships with a library of multilingual practice texts, and generates detailed progress charts that can be exported for classroom or HR reporting. Advanced users can create custom exercises, import their own material, or compete against a ghost cursor that replays previous performances. Because the executable is portable and DRM-free, schools can run it from a shared network drive without installation rights, while home users can keep their training statistics on a USB stick and continue on any PC. The clean, distraction-free interface scales from Windows XP to the newest Windows 11 releases, making the tutor equally suitable for elementary labs, corporate training rooms or adult-education centers. Tom Thielicke IT Solutions’ sole title is available for free on get.nero.com, where downloads are delivered through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always fetch the latest version, and can be queued alongside other applications for unattended batch installation.
