This is truly a fantastic product. I paid little attention to typing class in high school, and, hence, took very little from it. I know that what I'm about to say sounds rather infomercial-ish, but it's with Mavis Beacon that I really learned how...

From: Amazon Posted: Mar 21, 2008 Type: User Review Don't Buy This If You're Just Learning To Type

This is a terrible product. The navigation is awful. If you repeat lessons over, it will count them as if you took additional new learning lessons and then skip over those lessons it thinks you took when you were practicing old lessons over....

Purchased this for my child who was struggling with "typing skills" in a middle school technology class. We've been practicing with Mavis every day and noticing improvement which gives my student great encouragement and confidence to continue on!

From: Amazon Posted: Jan 14, 2008 Type: User Review Love this product!

I brought an earlier version 10 years ago, as I never took typing in high school. I learned how to type like the pros in a matter of weeks. Then gave the product to my sister who then also learned how to type. I love this product.

From: Amazon Posted: Dec 05, 2007 Type: User Review The REAL review!!!

This program is just "OK". The bad parts about it are that it is a fairly crappy production in its layout and overall quality. You cant control where you want to go in the lessons for example, once you're past a point where it says "lets try...

From: Amazon Posted: Oct 04, 2007 Type: User Review Works well, but not perfect

This program does a great job of teaching typing. My 8th grade daughter has voluntarily worked with it daily for the past two weeks. She has gone from 35 wpm to 50 wpm (adjusted) in that two weeks. My 11th grade son uses it, too, but his typing...

I tried out the 17th version on a trial basis and I also have the 11th version. Right now I am only using the software to improve my ten key so I cant comment on keypad or alpha numeric. On both of these it does not drill you on /,+,- and *. My...
