CNET Editors' review
Still hunting and pecking? Let TypingMaster Pro put your typing fingers in place. The slick interface and easy-to-follow instructions walk you through well-designed lessons, drills, and games. A special mode called Satellite watches how you type when you use certain programs, such as a word processor. It then identifies words or keys you have trouble typing and creates personalized exercises to help you improve. The typing tests show graphically which finger you should use for each keystroke, and they're smart enough to adjust their duration to your level of skill. The trial version lets you take only two lessons, but you can preview the rest. All in all, TypingMaster Pro is one of the best typing tutors we've seen--professional, well designed, and at $29.95, a value.
