5.0 out of 5 stars What a wonderful product!, January 22, 2002

This review is from: Typing Pal 3.0 (CD-ROM)

I have been using many typing software over the past years, either with kids or adults; I work in a library. This one has really impressed me with its powerful options and features and its fun, original and easy approach. The Spy feature is *very* original. The Dictations module is practical. One of the games is very creative (the Boss), the other could have been better. I would really recommend this product to anyone who wants to learn typing while having fun, no matter your age. I recently ordered the Junior version for the library. I will keep you posted.

5.0 out of 5 stars a really good typing software, January 21, 2002

This review is from: Typing Pal 3.0 (CD-ROM)

Typing Pal 3.0 is a really good typing tutor !
After a couple of hours I use my keyboard with ease and chatting is much more pleasant !
Dictations is a good feature because you don't have to look at the keyboard but just have to listen to the dictation and type the right text!

I tried this product free on the website of the company that produces the software. I am searching for a job and increased my chances by learning to type. I loved this product!! Saved ten dollars by getting from the company.
