Title: What's your favorite typing program?
Post by: KeypressGraphics on Fri, 25 December 2009, 05:57:35

Hi guys,

I was just wondering what sort of typing tutors everyone around here prefers using?

I've been using Mavis Beacon 20 for quite awhile and have no complaints, but a change is always nice from time to time.

Cheers.

I learned how to touch type (nonstandardly) by years of training on IRC.  Chatting programs are viable if you avoid textspeak and other lazy language incarnations.  You won't get enough practice with numbers, though.

TypeFaster for learning a layout, Amphetype for practising on imported text (read a novel as you practice typing), Typing of the Dead for a laugh, and TypeRacer for developing your epeen.

Female, Blonde, cute. *sigh* Summer school was difficult, but would have been worse without her.

Thanks for the tip!


Wow that wooden Filco keyboard of yours is awfully sexy.

Simply using blank keys have been a big help to me.
