Touch Typing

You can learn how to touch type in as little as ten hours! Regardless of previous experience, or lack of it, this program can teach you in 19 easy lessons. You simply install the program, choose whether you prefer to learn in English or Hebrew, follow the format at your own pace and in no time, you are touch typing.

This is the only all-inclusive touch-typing program that I have ever encountered. Others have tried but this is the only one that uses incredible graphics, games, and interface. You get to choose which way you prefer to learn. Some of the options include a display of the keyboard on the screen, real words versus nonsense words, beginning or advanced levels and timed or customized tests. There is even an option for background music.

One of my favorite features of Touch Typing Now is the ability to practice your typing while chatting with other typing students from all over the world. This lends itself to a great atmosphere for learning both for children and adults. This program is so advanced it's on the level with most classes and superior to many. I highly recommend Touch Typing Now to all would-be typists.

Touch Typing NOW! Learning to type using more than a couple of fingers is a tough task. So it was that we approached another typing tutor after many failed attempts to convert using Mavis Beacon's famous software.

This isn't to say that typing tutors don't work - they just don't work for us. Those people that are new to typing will benefit greatly from Touch Typing NoW! because it's designed to help you understand where your hands are supposed to be on a keyboard and how to make them go faster. It does this by showing you diagrams, offering you tests and games to play and by providing you with grades which keep your morale up!

It's a terrific program but it's no better than anything else we've encountered, despite the inclusion of the online Internet chat facility. This is just a distraction. Of more use is the UK native English-speaking dictation test that really stretches your finger span!

The makers claim to be able to help you type correctly within 10 hours. By then, you will have worn your fingers to the bone (literally), so please pace yourself and have fun.
