Review:

The title is appropriate and one gets the idea behind the software by just reading the title
alone.

EASE OF USE.
One fact is quite clear; the product is very easy to use

TECHNICAL:
1. Colour scheme is neither too flashy nor too dull to cause eye strain.

2. In the settings option you can specify the keyboard layout that suit you.

3. The software apart from being a networkable touch typing trainer with features for schools and companies it also offers:
- Full network support on the entire Local Area Network
- It can support over a thousand users
- Flexible and customisable typing tests among others.

4. Lessons like 'Good Ergonomics' don’t have "back buttons" only "next" buttons, meaning you got to cancel and start again if you want just to go back one lesson back.

5. The lessons are divided into easy add-on sections, meaning that lessons add on to the previous one and keeps building on the skills learnt. Everything is from the basics.

6. Its flexible: allows user to allocate appropriate time any one lesson which would suit beginners

7. At the end of every lesson essential statistics like net speed, letters mistakes are available to assist the learner to adjust his/ her lesson appropriately

8. The programme is straight forward hence suitable for everybody, from school children to company workers.

9. It generates a report on all the typing tests done showing type of test, duration, accuracy e.t.c. with the options of saving it on PDF format or printing

MEETING ITS INTENDED USE:
Am confident that this programme meets the goals it was intended to. Why people are dismissing it as only good for starter beats me. The sole purpose of the software is to "teach how to touch type fast enough with fewer mistakes". Professional typing never heard of it. How fast and flawless one can type is all that maters.
