Short and to the point

Pros
It allows you to type and look at the same text.
Cons
Not enough drills
Summary
It is a great start for anyone to use.
Not a true typing test

Pros
Besides the fact that this program isn't testing the same thing real typing tests test, it works well.
Cons
It does not give you a net wpm (taking into account number of mistakes). It tells you your accuracy and gives a gross WMP, but not the net wpm, which is WHAT EMPLOYERS REQUIRE.
Summary
In other words, this isn't an actual typing test, but rather a typing a game. Could be useful for children.
Excellent

Pros
Unique user panel for typing over text. <p>Very flexible, multiuser application providing historical information to look at your progress. I like their certificate also.
Cons
UI could be doing with some modernisation.
Summary
It's just what I was looking for!

Pros
It is simple to use and understand. It gives you scores on your speed, wpm, and your accuracy. Everything you'll need to build or in my case re-build your high-speed keyboarding status.
Cons
NOTHING!
Summary
Very nice typing tutor!
findejMay 2, 2008
Pros
For a free download, very hard to beat, I like the fact that it lets you see progress immediately and that it words per minute and keystroke count! Plus as a bonus you can print out yourself a certificate of accomplishment, again, great little tutor!
Cons
Haven't found one yet!
Summary
Great little typing utility
zzdaveSeptember 19, 2006
Pros
The program is small compact but well featured for people who already type. There are 5 levels of difficulty with 4 or 5 tests in each level. Great for brushing up with.
Cons
No drills or feedback for practising certain areas of typing not up to scratch.
Summary
I think it's great,you see your flaws.
