Publisher's description of Bruce's Unusual Typing Wizard
Bruce's Unusual Typing Wizard is well constructed typing tutor to learn and practice typing. It is designed to accommodate both beginners and experienced typists who are looking to gain speed or accuracy. This software also has a unique algorithm, which is able to detect if a user is typing slightly off and adjust the typing position. This eliminates frustration of typing many mistakes when a letter is omitted or added. A game is also included, in order to help practice unusual letter combinations. Multiple users are supported and each stores its own statistics. The user can change the text that is used to practice typing, in order to practice something more familiar, if that is desired. This feature can also be used to input a different language to practice. The onscreen keyboard and the game can also be modified to accommodate any Western language or keyboard layout.
Version 1.5 adds many minor enhancements to the interface.

Version: Bruce's Unusual Typing Wizard 1.5
"Very Nice! Thumbs up Bruce! Well Done!"
Pros: A must for a beginner, like myself. Simple but very effective. Easy to use and astatically appealing.
Cons: Will not close out in the practice sessions mode. Some people are using the task manager to exit. But I've found that if you return to the main menu it closes with no problem.

Version: Bruce's Unusual Typing Wizard 1.5
"This is the best typing tutor for beginners I have come across"
Pros: The method Bruce uses to teach one is very well thought trough. It is very good for beginners.
When I started the training I couldn't type to save my life, and now, within a week, I can type without looking at the keyboard, and my typing speed improves daily!
Cons: I am a designer, and the only problem I have is that the program could look better, although it is very functional.
