Summary: Claims to be for children...
Review: I bought this based upon its high review rating and its claim to be for children. It does have 8 games. However, it does not provide lessons at a truly beginner level. It's first "beginner" lesson assumes you have already had practice with the "asdfgjkl;" keys. Learning these 8 keys in the same single lesson is too much for your average 11 and under child. After having done some more research, it looks like "Typing Pal Junior" is a better program for beginning children. It teaches two keys at a time, starting with the "fj" keys. It also has dictation practice, in the form of stories you have to type as the computer dictates them to you. This provides the added benefit of spelling practice for your child. It only has two games, but the dictated stories make up for it.

My children may eventually use Typing Tutor 10, but only after they have worked with Typing Pal Junior for awhile.

Summary: Typing tutor
Review: I was typing at a speed of 15 adjusted words per minute before using this software now my speed is 41.I think this statement speaks for itself.
The games are appropriately targeted at increasing speed and accuracy.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: GREAT Instructional Program
Review: Loved the music selection, loved the selection of games, the font size was readable and clear -- this program is much better the Mavis Beacon program I tried.

However, the software would 'hang' during the games. It indicates ME operation, but the packaging indicates Windows 95/98. I was advised to try anyway. If you have 95/98, then this is a wonderful program. The games are great. My favorites were the Shopping Cart, Letter Invaders, and Cricket. Letter Invaders I could beat (until the software hung), but the Crickets got me every time. I liked being beat - I'm a skilled typist of avg. 63wpm. Gave me accuracy to aspire to!

I'll be waiting for the next version (I hope there is one) to see if it runs more efficiently with Windows ME.

Summary: Terrific
Review: Members of our family (children and adults) have used this product for several versions-- 4.0, 6.0 and now version 10. It's always been easy to use, and the student quickly gains speed, accuracy and confidence. Our 11-yr-old son will use it this summer to help with middle school. The games will hold his interest. The music playing in the background is an effective way to help the typist maintain a consist fluid rhythm.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: No Competition
Review: No need to search for a more perfect typing program -- this is it! Mavis Beacon, et al, can not compare - I know, I've tried it. In fact, TT10 is first-rate b/c it doesn't skip a beat. If offers every possible component to make the child/adult student feel comfortable with the learning process, as well as, confident with the outcome of it. It is very well organized, direct, and lots of fun, i.e., it includes an optional & varied music selection to accompany your busy fingers along the way. BY FAR, THE BEST PROGRAM ON THE MARKET!
