Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
It says on the box that Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing is the world's bestselling typing tutor, and it is easy to see why. It is simply brimming with features, suitable for a whole family of learners, and caters for three different age groups--those up to 11, between 12 and 15, and 16 and over. You register when you first run the program, and there after different family members simply log on using their own names and the software will remember their progress and start working at the appropriate point.

Mavis Beacon provides lessons for both accuracy and speed, and even includes a separate group of lessons to teach the number pad. Lessons run to dictation and copy typing, and there are some quite diverting games for those odd moments when the drill of lessons is rather too formal but you want to get a bit of typing practice in.

The software has built-in intelligence to gauge what letters you are best and worst at finding on the keyboard, and it adapts its lessons suit your needs. If you don't want to work with quite such an intelligent system, you can set up your own lesson plans, choosing texts on a range of subjects to copy type or even importing your own. The software comes with a booklet on working with VDUs, which is full of tips on health and safety matters--a very useful extra to what is an extremely powerful application. Now nobody has an excuse for not being able to type. --Sandra Vogel
