Rating: - Solid software, but nothing exciting
This is simple software on which to learn to type.
I initially learned on version 8. This version 20 is a step up, but not a big one.

Given the advances in computer power and game play in the last decade, it is a real shame they have not worked those changes into the software. It is painfully dull, even in the "games" sections.

However, if you want some simple software to learn touch-typing, then this is a safe bet.

Rating: - Improve your typing and get more done!
I wish I'd invested in a program like this years ago.

Up until now, I've always used one finger (maybe two if I was feeling ambitious and didn't mind all the mistakes!) to type and it's incredibly slow. No wonder I hated writing letters and emails - because everything took way too long!

Learning to type with Mavis Beacon is fun! Ok, maybe not as much fun as playing on the Wii, XBox 360 or PS3 (let's be serious here!) but considering the nature of the software, it's certainly ... Read More

Rating: - Not perfect but a big step forward from Version 16
This is a good program which will introduce you to touch typing and then allow you, with perseverance, to progress to pretty well any level you desire. The program monitors your progress and tailors the lessons appropriately.

Rating: - Should Greatly Improve Your Typing
I would describe my typing as intermediate but a little rusty from not working for six years. If you already have good keyboard skills - by good you ought to be typing with all fingers and looking at the screen - then this program will improve your speed and accuracy. If you are a two finger typist and tend to be looking at the keyboard whilst you type then you will probably get fairly irritated by Mrs Beacon and start off with much slower results than you normally would type. You have to be disciplined ... Read More

Rating: - Great.

To begin with I wasn't to sure if I would find this
product enjoyable or not, as I have never used anything
similar before.

I have now used this product for a couple of weeks,
and I must say I have found it fun to use, and I have
definately improved my typing skills.

I Highly recommend it.
