Customer Reviews

Great program
I bought this software at Best Buy but it did not come with the key skin. This is a great product, I have tried many typing programs, 4 in total, because typing is very difficult for me (and I'm picky!) and this is the best I've tried so far. It is also reasonably priced, but cheaper at Best Buy, maybe b/c it didn't come with the key skin? The only thing I'm upset about is that I wish mine had come with a key skin! Unlike most programs I've found, this one starts from the beginning to the end. A lot of programs don't follow a specific plan, they just have you do a typing test in the beginning and then introduce letters with out showing you which fingers to use, that's the whole point of these programs, to teach you! And like another review stated, it does let you go back and redo a lesson, it also lets you know what keys you need to review. The only thing I would change is to make the letters bigger to read because when you are a beginner it is hard to follow along with the text.

Nice program!
The cover for the keys is great. My daughter practices often and can't cheat. Nice program.

It helped me quit cheating
The skin is useful. I could type as much as 40 wpm without it (as a self-taught typist), but was slowing myself down by "cheating." The skin forces me to follow the correct patterns, which are more efficient than my old way, and I no longer go back and forth from the copy to to the keyboard to watch my fingers.
