Mavis Beacon strikes again!! May 29, 2008
E. M. Obeso (San Diego, Cailfornia)
She's good, consistent, and always supportive. Mavis Beacon has been around for years and she is still the best one out there. I haven't gotten far in the software, but, already, I am typing without looking down! Crazy!! There are time trials and other fun games. All of this reflects on your score and you can print out a certificate afterwards. This is perfect for anyone who wants to brush up on their typing skills with a little fun and challenge mixed in.
