TypingMaster Pro Typing Tutor

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.

    "Decent Typing Program, But...."

    October 1, 2012  |   By softwaregeek90210

    Version: TypingMaster Pro Typing Tutor 7.01.794

    Pros

    I like how it does a pretty decent job of helping you learn how to type. It's easy to use and I like how it has the ability to show you your problem areas.

    Cons

    Although TypingMaster is a good typing tutorial software, TypingWeb.com is free and does about the same job, if not better.

    "THE BEST THERE IS!"

    December 6, 2009  |   By springstreetman

    Version: TypingMaster Pro Typing Tutor 7.01.763

    Pros

    THIS IS A PROFESSIONAL SYSTEM!

    Cons

    BECAUSE IT'S THE BEST THERE ARE LIMITED DISCOUNTS!

    Summary

    This is the best program available. Unlike Mavis Beacon which is fun OF BUGS. Just read amazon reviews. It?s bug free. It?s the fastest learning system available.

    TO GET A DISCOUNT:

    Amazon.com: TypeRightNow for Windows Includes Patented, Peek-Proof PC/Desktop Keyboard SpeedSkin Cover / $28.99 & this item ships for FREE with Super Saver Shipping.

    J+R COMPUTER WORLD: SpeedSkin TypeRightNow w/ Keyboard Cover ? Windows ? $24.99 + shipping

    They are all the same made by TypingMaser.Inc. Except TypingMaster Pro does not have the SpeedSkin No Peek Cover which is very helpful. If you order from TypingMaster Pro there is no discount.

    "Free and fabulous"

    November 5, 2009  |   By vonny1020

    Version: TypingMaster Pro Typing Tutor 7.01.763

    Pros

    I was able to learn just as I did in high school. It stays true to the methods use to teach typing or keyboarding as it is called today.

    Cons

    Not enough lessons to get you far enough to use all the rows of keys.

    Summary

    By downloading it I was able to pass a typing test to get a new position with my company.
