Review:

This must be one of the best useful softwares that I have downloaded this year! I used to type at 65 words per minute (quite fast); now, I type at 82 words per minute - that's only 2 hours of me using the full version of this software! Typing Master has corrected most of the hand positioning mistakes I used to have, and has even got me to use my 5th fingers efficiently (I never used to use those).
There are a few typing games included in this package which are actually a great way to test yourself at how good of a 'touch-typer' you really are - I even got slightly addicted by trying to beat my last high score!
The 'Satellite' feature in this software is really great. 'Satellite' monitors your typing in ANY program whatsoever. It shows statistics like how many words you are typing per minute, how many mistakes you make and it even detects which keys or words you find difficult to type. Based on the errors you make during your typing in the windows environment, it prepares you a specific test for those particular letters or words.
QuickPhrase is another program which is part of the Typing Master package which saves up to 9 words or phrases that have been copied. Depending on your typing skills, if you are new to typing - let QuickPhrase be your friend by helping you get work done faster. No matter how long the phrase or word is - you will be able to find it in the QuickPhrase taskbar menu. I, however, doubt that a well skilled keyboard typer would find this added program quite useful concidering the fact that by the time a person right clicks and selects the word or phrase from the taskbar, the skilled 'typist' could have typed more than just that word or phrase. QuickPhrase is nothing more than just a free sample of something one could get when buying an expensive perfume at a shop.

Conclusion:

Typing Master is the ultimate teaching tool for people of all typing skills: no matter how good you are, I bet you will do better after this. It helped me - it will help you.
