This software helps you practice typing, and improve your typing. It's also got a small course in word and excel which are very helpful for the office skills.
 Good for experienced typists to practice and improve speed and accuracy August 14, 2007

3 out of 4 found this review helpful
I learned to type in high school (on an electric typewriter, so I didn't get spoiled by spelling and grammar checkers), and I was already a pretty good typist on alpha keyboarding. I am fair-to-middling on alphanumeric keyboarding and keypad data entry. This software gives me a chance to practice and improve in all three areas. The software does include levels for the brand-new and still-learning typist, although I can't speak to how well those work as I am already very experienced. A few caveats: While the alpha keyboarding and keypad data entry components are excellent, there is no component for true alphanumeric data entry (i.e. entering names, addresses, and phone numbers for database purposes). The alphanumeric component is simply an integration of numbers and symbols into the alpha keyboarding paragraphs. You need to be careful which scores you're looking at when deciding where you need to concentrate (or, say, you're putting together a resume and want to accentuate where your skills are); my alpha keyboarding is very fast and my alphanumeric keyboarding speed is mid-range, but my keypad data entry is pretty slow (I didn't cover that last in high school). A combination score of all three of these is, I feel, unfair. The games don't record the typing speed you achieve as you're playing, and you may not even see the typing speed if you are trying to concentrate on typing swiftly and accurately and can't look away long enough to see the current speed. And, lastly, the "Gone Fishing" game sends the numbers darting too fast across the screen. My 30+ year old eyes can barely catch them, let alone transmit the info to my fingers to key them.
