Customer Reviews

Friendly & well paced
This is a tried and trusted program that gets you typing well right from the start. As a self-taught typist I had a very idiosyncratic style that had just about hit its limit in terms of WPM. Going back and learning to touch type properly made all the differnce and has saved aching arms and over-worked shoulders.

Just to correct an earlier review you DON'T need to run this off the CD, it's got an install option and you can then bin the CD if you feel so inclined. It always pays to read instructions doesn't it?

Marvelous
I could already type before I got this, so I can't really comment on how good it is for people learning right from the beginning. I got Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing 15 to help me brush up my skills and to improve my overall speed, and it has certainly done that.

The program installed easily. Once installed it is really easy to fire it up and get going on your practice. I must say that using Mavis Beacon 15 is a whole lot more fun than the way I learned to type some (cough) years ago on an old manual typewriter! The voiceovers are pleasant, and the games are pretty good too.

The thing I have found most useful though is that you can have Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing 15 running whilst you are doing other typing tasks, such as writing emails or word processing. Your speed and accuracy are recorded as you go along so you get a much better idea of your typing skills in real world situations.

Fantastic
Have been using this for a couple of months now and have seen great improvement. V16 is now availble as well but I have to say this version is fantastic!
