This program was probably the best of 2007, however, in 2010 it lacks compatability with the newer computer models and with Window's Vista or later. I would recommend that you post this clearly when people are looking for typing software. Currently, the description says that it is Vista compatible, but it could not be downloaded onto 2 of our computers, which had Vista, and nearly messed up the systems. We had to load it onto an older computer in order to get it to work. This needs to be clear from the start of the product description, before a person orders it. Otherwise, this program is very informative and user friendly. I would suggest, however, that you loose the soft speaking female voice and go with a more normal speaking one. This one talks to you like you are a 3 year old, and a slow one at that, and was beeeyyyyonddd irritating! Also, I think it would improve the learning experience if you expanded the typing curriculum for each exercise from three words or word groups to an entire line. For example: dfkj dfkj dfkj To: dfkj dfkj dfkj dfkj dfkj dfkj dfkj dfkj.... you get the idea. This type of tactile learning needs the repetition in order for the brain to remember it better. |

Having used Mavis Beacon 8 long ago I wanted a refresher... This program is really not well designed--the biggest problem is each exercise only features a line or two of the appropriate new symbols/keys and then you are typing all the letters you know--sometimes even ones you haven't been taught yet--so it's difficult to solidify the finger positioning of new keys and gets confusing. Really not well thought out. There are enough advanced features that an experienced typist can increase their speed or a child COULD learn on it... but MB is so much better. Someone claiming to go from 20 to 54 wpm in a week is either an experienced typist that was rusty or lying (then 103 wpm. Sure). |

Sorely disappointed |
|
I have owned an earlier Typing Instructor Deluxe and was happy with it. However, the new CD of Typing Instructor Deluxe 17 is unusable because the sentences in the lessons are overwritten and illegible.Typing Instructor Deluxe 17 |

Product description states uses Windows 7 platform, but box states Windows Vista only. Returned item for refund. Check out Typing Instructor Platinum Version 21. This uses Windows 7 platform but you won't find it here. Search for it on the web and you can find it for $16. |
