Troubleshooting & how-to
Guides for Sonma Typing-Expert
Practical fixes drawn from real install complaints, Hindi font issues, Backspace feedback, and antivirus warnings.
How to install on Windows
Some Softonic reviewers reported the installer failing after repeated attempts. Follow this sequence before you retry.
- 1
Download the Windows build
Get
Sonma-Typing-Expert-2.01.0000.exefrom the download page (about 2.70 MB). - 2
Verify the file hash
Compare SHA-256 with the value listed under file integrity.
- 3
Close other installers
Exit unfinished Setup windows and pause aggressive real-time scans if they lock the exe mid-copy.
- 4
Run the installer
Double-click the exe. Accept the license prompts and choose an install folder you can write to.
- 5
Finish and launch
Open Sonma Typing-Expert from the Start menu or desktop shortcut when Setup completes.
First run checklist
- 1Launch the app and read the welcome screen (English / हिन्दी typewriters).
- 2Choose language and font settings for Hindi or English practice.
- 3Start with basic home-row lessons before long 15-30 minute tests.
- 4Use Pause if you need a break; resume instead of restarting.
- 5Save or print results when you want a paper record of WPM and accuracy.
Hindi text looks wrong or missing
Third-party reviews note that Hindi fonts may not be bundled on every PC. The tutor expects Devlys010 or Krutidev010 for Hindi and Century for English. Publisher help files describe fixing Hindi display when glyphs fail.
- 1
Confirm which font the lesson uses
Open Settings / Help inside the app and check Devlys010, Krutidev010, or Century selection.
- 2
Install the missing TrueType font on Windows
Add the font for all users, then restart Sonma Typing-Expert.
- 3
Retest a short Hindi drill
If characters still fail, reinstall the tutor after fonts are present so paths refresh.
No Backspace during a test
A Softonic reviewer wrote that there is no Backspace option and preferred Soni Typing Tutor for Hindi recruitment exams. Treat this as a product behavior, not a broken key on your keyboard.
Sonma Typing-Expert emphasizes error detection and highlighted mistakes in saved results. Practice for accuracy first; use shorter 1-5 minute runs while you adapt to typing without mid-word corrections.
If you are training specifically for a hiring board that allows Backspace, confirm that board’s rules and pick a tutor that matches them. See the comparison notes on the home page.
What to do instead
- Slow down and watch the blue current-word underline
- Review highlighted errors after Save
- Reprint lesson paper and retype weak lines
- Use Pause before frustration breaks form
When antivirus blocks the installer
Heuristic engines sometimes flag compact older Windows utilities. Softonic documented a clean VirusTotal-based scan for the 2.01.0000 package; Softpedia issued a 100% CLEAN award. That history does not replace your own scan.
- 1Confirm the SHA-256 hash before you restore any quarantined file.
- 2Scan the exe with your preferred engine offline if possible.
- 3Add a temporary exclusion only for the known installer path, then remove it after Setup.
- 4If SmartScreen appears, use “More info” only after hash match; do not bypass unknown files from random mirrors.
Best practices for practice sessions
Home row
Hands on home row
Keep left fingers on A S D F and right on J K L ; before you chase high WPM. Use the finger-placement diagram as a reminder.
Duration
Pick an honest duration
Default practice often sits near 15 minutes; the app allows 1-30. Match the length of the exam you are preparing for.
Printouts
Print when you need proof
Save and print results when a school or recruiter asks for a paper speed sheet. Softonic notes printouts can help job applications.
Interface
Expect a plain interface
CNET flags limited visual engagement and no gamified lessons. That is intentional focus for drill work, not a missing update.
