5 out of 5 stars Better than Mavis Beacon!   June 26, 2008
  3 out of 3 found this review helpful

I purchased both Typing Instructor Deluxe(Version 17)and Mavis Beacon Deluxe(Version 17)to increase my typing speed.
I just love the Typing Instructor Deluxe! It is easy to navigate, has very pleasant graffics, lots of variety and features, and loaded up perfectly (Windows XP Home).
Each time I use the Mavis Beacon software I have to change the pixel size of my screen to make it small enough to fit, and then it ends up being a little too small. Afterwards, I have to change the pixel size back again. As a result, I don't bother using the Mavis Beacon much.
I highly recommend the Typing Instuctor Deluxe (Version 17)!!!*****



4 out of 5 stars My kiddos are learning to type!!   June 15, 2008
My ds 12 and 10 and my dd 8 are learning to type without my help and without complaint! In the 6mo since I purchased this software my 12yo's speed has gone from 15 words/min to 40. I'm very happy with it. There is a nice feature during some of the instruction that shows your hand position right on the computer screen as you do the typing exercise - so that you know which finger to strike the key with, etc. Also, there are several fun arcade style games that the kids really enjoy. Only down note is that one of the arcade games does not work for us. That still leaves us 5 or 6 to choose from. I also like that it tracks each user's progress.



5 out of 5 stars A great product   April 27, 2008

After using Mavis Becon I discovered Typing Instructor deluxe and I just love it! Mavis is fine for kids, but not for a woman trying to get her typing speed up for returning to college. It's really fun is also for adult typists.


2 out of 5 stars I guess it's a good product...didn't help me though   March 19, 2008
  4 out of 5 found this review helpful

I'm a fairly good typer already, I just have difficulty in a few areas for things like the symbols on top of the numbers. The only ones I ever have to use are ! and $ but I don't know where the others are. So I bought this product to help me but the software would tell me I was doing great when really I was messing up big time. It allows you to erase your mistakes so it will say I did 100% everytime when in reality I had to backspace almost every letter and retry again. I don't think I learned anything.
