Rating:  - GreatThe best typing teacher I have had. The games are great and the drills are good too. The only complaint I have is the voice is a bit annoying after a while, but I have learned really quickly. Very good. Rating: - ExcellentHaving bought several similar products over the years, I have to honestly say that this has been the best so far. In spite of uninspiring packaging and the usual mediocre musical accompaniments to exercises, the rest of the programme is really very good.

However, if you want some simple software to learn touch-typing, then this is a safe bet. Rating: - Improve your typing and get more done!I wish I'd invested in a program like this years ago. Up until now, I've always used one finger (maybe two if I was feeling ambitious and didn't mind all the mistakes!) to type and it's incredibly slow. No wonder I hated writing letters and emails - because everything took way too long! Learning to type with Mavis Beacon is fun! Ok, maybe not as much fun as playing on the Wii, XBox 360 or PS3 (let's be serious here!) but considering the nature of the software, it's certainly ... Read More |
