 Wonderful Program May 20, 2009

Having the skin on the keys has forced me to learn how to properly type. Prior to getting this program, I constantly looked at the keys which slowed me down but now, WOW!!!! I am more confident about knowing where the keys are and as a result my typing speed has improved. Another plus about this program is that it shows and reminds you how to properly work in your space.... ex:
Check your Posture:
-sit up straight, back supported by chair and feet firmly on the floor.
-center your body to the keyboard and monitor, etc, etc.....
-etc, etc.....
The program breaks it down that not only does your typing speed improve but that you do it in such a way that your whole experience is positive...
That said, the only thing I would improve on are the games..
Not very fun...

I bought this product because my fiance was going to take a typing test and I wanted him to be prepared since he never learned how to type correctly. He has not taken the test as of yet so I can't say whether this tool was useful
 Great course. March 17, 2009

I'm one of those type of people who taught myself how to type cause I never took a typing class in high school. Of course, my way was looking at the keyboard the whole time! This program helped me break that bad habit and actually learn the correct way of typing. Even though my WPM is slower now, my typing speed is slowly increasing every week and I know I'll improve. This is a great program and I'm glad I bought it - I still use it everyday.
 It will not start. February 21, 2009

This CD would not work in my desktop. I called and they called me back the next week and sent me another CD. It doesn't work either and they stopped returning my calls.
I put it in my laptop and it worked in the laptop, but the little orange skin you get in the box does not fit a laptop keyboard. Beware of that. It only fits a desktop keyboard. So I finally plugged my desktop keyboard into my laptop and propped it up on the laptop and did the exercises.
There is no audio. I thought there would be. I thought these programs would have games and be fun. Nope, just letters that appear on the screen for you to type. Drills. They appear on the screen for you to type and you get written feedback on the screen telling you how you are doing and what you should do differently. It's dull.
I'll update this review after I try another product. Obviously I am disappointed that it does not work on my desktop. I'm also disappointed that there is no audio, just screen instructions. And finally, there are no games. I've heard there are some really enjoyable programs out there, so I am going to order another one and see how it compares.

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.
