About the Inputlog copy task
It is shown that typing skills are a factor affecting online text production when generating digital texts.
The Inputlog copy task is designed to create a set of measures that allows a fine-grained analysis of low-level typing and motor skills. The task is currently developed for twelve languages.
The copy task can be accessed via the Inputlog Recording interface, or directly via the web.
