Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Get your children up to speed with typing for computer use. The most boring (to adults), but addictive (to kids) software we have come across. This gets the "best value for summer holidays" award! Never have children been so determined to finish the exercises and become proficient keyboard operators.




Rating: - Not much improved over older versions
I used Version 8 on Windows 95 to teach myself to type in the late 90s.
Then I thought it was great. It was a big help.

This version I expected to be more polished. Perhaps more scientific in it's approach; though really it hasn't changed much. Still good.

Purchased for my neice, installation hung on her XP machine during install/registration. Ctrl+Alt+Delete showed registration and installation to behave as two seperate applications. Killed registration and ... Read More

Rating: - I have bought more than one version, I like it so much!
I was already a very speedy typist when I bought Mavis Beacon for my husband, and for fun I tried the programme too: well, it immediately spotted my weak point: symbols and numbers (I rarely have to use them!), and earnestly presented me a lesson on those.

Then my son grew up, and started using it, then my daughter ... Read More

Rating: - Speedy typer thanks to Mavis Beacon
I have really learned form Mavis Beacon!!
I had a query if it was compatible with my computer so I contacted GSP customer suppert online and they got back to me really quickly and sufficiently. The product is Americanised but its not teaching you HOW to spell but HOW to type.(You should be able to figure the spelling bit out for yourself.) I would recommend this product to anyone wanting to learn how to type accurately and with speed.

Rating: - Be careful with this one
Just bought this version and tried to install it on our brand new PC which is running XP...no GO, doesn't want to know yet, it simply will not respond/download. When I get more feedback I will leave another note here. But be careful. Our PC is brand new. However, my other Compaq PC which also runs windows XP has loaded "Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing 9" without any problems.

Rating: - It's okay but could be better-designed
(Okayh, I've been practisign hard for a number oif weeks now so I'm going to test myself out by doing this as 'live' run to see how I'm doingso fqar.)
