Review:

After trying out Typing Master Express I thought I would give Ten Thumbs Typing Tutor software a try. I really enjoyed Typing Master but Ten Thumbs just doesnt measure up to the Master software at all.

There are few options with Ten Thumbs, the games are boring and the tests aren't challenging at all. Unlike Typing Master there is no courses, just a few lessons trying different sequences of letters bunched up. There is nowhere to check the stastics of how you are doing and the whole package is very basic and boring. Which left me quite disapointing.

Your Host through the Ten thumbs software is a viking who goes through the lessons with you and gives you the option of learnin how to sit properly at a computer desk, so you dont get strain. How interesting is that, Not.

This program looks and plays like something that was made for children, adults wouldn't find this helpfl at all. If you've tried or got Typing Master Express, then the Master program is the better software.

For me this Ten Thumbs is a complete waste of money and time, in my book its not worth $23 dollars, if it was $10 it may do for a kid to practice on, but isnt much good for anyone else.

The Software is basic so is the language and the graphics, its looks like a program designed on a small budget. The music got to me after a while and my only option was to turn it off.

There isnt much instructions, help or options with this software, so for me personally I didn't find it effective to my needs which was learning to improve my typing skills. There is better Typing software out there that is good value for money

Conclusion:

There's no way I could honest recommend this software to any adult, if you were buying it for a child it may be of use. Beyond that its not much good
