Review
TypingTutorial 5 is a shareware we can download in two ways from the developer's website with and without installation (the file size stated is for the second one). The keyboard layout can be in English, German, Swiss, Russian, Czech, Slovak, etc. The company is willing to provide new layouts for other languages if we contact them. The download trial version has 15 free typing lessons for us to evaluate. It can be set up at 3 levels for Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced Learners. We are allowed to set up the design, font type, colour for the fonts, the cursor, space bar , fingers and background, a even a special, nice and customized layout meant for children to learn while having fun. It also features helping keyboard with a metronome, an active finger, and active keyboard, and more. We can use our own text file to practice with. We get constant and instant evaluation reports about our speed, wpm, accuracy, etc. It has a good help guide if we need further assistance but with its friendly-user interface anybody, including kids, can use it and learn typing quite easily. The program saves the progress and achievements for every user name introduced. It runs under Windows 98,Me,2000,XP and Vista OPs. |
