This product is wonderful I teach adults with learning disabilities and it has turned out to be great teaching tool for them, they can go at their own pace, see their scores in front of them, and be able to see how far they have progressed.

I had to teach typing to Stanford Hospital personnel one summer, and I tried a number of different programs. I was quite disappointed with the Mavis Beacon program, which is fairly crude. The Dummies version looks and behaves better, and got my students up to speed pretty quickly.

2.0 out of 5 stars Software does not work well, June 4, 2009

This software has a lot of issues.

First it freeze all the time. Then you have to close it and restart.

Second the typing is not natural. For some reason when you reach a word at the end of a line you aren't supposed to put a space after it (which is what anyone naturally does). Then you get an error for each line.

Annoying, dumb software.
