Summary: Very nice; lots of different aspects and games.
Review: I had learned how to type rather well a few years back, but didn't use my skills enough to keep them up to par. So I bought Typing Instructor because, first, it was a good price, and, second, I had heard it had gotten some good reviews. It was very easy to install and use right away. I really like it because you can set your own goals, so no matter if you are a beginner or just a little rusty (like me), you can easily adapt your program accordingly. There are a lot of different games and exercises, plus a program to properly use the numeric keypad. I would give this program 5 stars and recommend it to anyone in need of a little typing assistance.

Summary: Trouble from the start!
Review: I purchased this this program in order to brush up on my typing and to improve my speed and accuracy, but now ,unfortunately, I will be returning it. Here's why>Typing Instructor Deluxe from Individual Software gave me problems from the moment I installed it. The trouble I've had with it is that 1)The partial installation feature is broken and it gives you a cryptic error message before crashing the program. 2)If you attempt to get around this problem too forcefully, it causes Windows to crash. 3)The full installation works, but it gobbles up 500MB of disk space! 4)Customer service is non-existant: you can't get them to answer their phone, and their website is down. I can say that when fully installed it looked OK -- lots of multimedia stuff and games. But the exercises were strictly rudimentary, and there was just one for each lesson. This will bore you to death if you already know how to type. If you don't yet know how, you'll just be throwing your money away.

Summary: I am typing better!
Review: I would of rated this 5 stars. I only rated it 4 stars because on the 10 key by touch test, it will not measure you in key strokes per hour (KPH) it only tells you in words per minute (wpm). Many interesting games to keep you motivated! Plus you can download free updates when you register online. The box I received had a [$$$] rebate included good til 30 days following purchase. Ease of use software, manual included!

Summary: Outstanding Typing Instruction
Review: This is a very complete and up to date program that can be continual updated via the Internet. Packed with valuable information, tons of games, and expert instruction, it is far better than Mavis Beacon's outdated program. It is designed for Windows 2000, Me, and XP, and requires a reasonably good system to take full advantage of its multimedia features. Finally, the whole program can be loaded onto the hard drive, so you don't have to insert the CD each time you practice. Something for everyone from ages 8 and up, beginner to expert.

Summary: Not that great!
Review: This program is basically good for learning except that it is almost impossible to get to the lessons you want, especially if you want to review. It kept giving me tests on letters I hadn't learned. It is frustrating and I wouldn't recommend it.
