Software Reviews of Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing Deluxe 17 [OLD VERSION]
Customer Review: Great Product
Summary: 5 Stars
Product was delivered in a timely manner. Did not have any of the installation issues that I saw in the other reviews. Just FOLLOWED THE INSTRUCTIONS and away I went. The program does what it's supposed to do - teach you touch typing. I bought it primarily for my 10 & 9 year old as they are getting to the age were the need to get on the internet for homework & reports. I also am getting a lot of benefit out of it. The last time I tried Mavis' program was on my old IBM (486 processor running WIN 3.1). I've been a three finger typist since the days I actually used a typewriter and this IS helping me to take advantage of all ten digits without having to look at the keyboard. The games and progress updates aren't dazzlers (not a whole lot has changed since the last verison) but they too do what they are supposed to do, let the kids know how they're doing. Overall grade - MONEY WLL SPENTCustomer Review: support for typing tutorial
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this typing tutorial but beware if you have troubles, they don't answer at the manufacturer. You are on your own with even simple questions. This is keeping me from rating it higher. They need to respond to folks. RMCustomer Review: It really scares me!
Summary: 4 Stars
IT REALLY SCARES ME HOW MUCH I THOUGHT, THAT I COULD TYPE EVEN A LITTLE. SPEED IS NOT REALLY THE THING ACCURACY IS MORE IMPORTANT. MAVIS BEACON IS TEACHING ME THE TRUE DYNAMICS OF TYPING SO THAT I CAN REALLY USE MY SKILLS AS A WRITER BEFORE NOW I'VE JUST BEEN THE ONE WHO WRITES EVERYTHING BY HAND! THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME A NEW OPPORTUNITY AT ACCURACY AND PATIENCE!Customer Review: So far this is a wonderful program!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this program. I have not spent alot of time using it but I have already learned most of the keys. I am typing wothout looking down :o) I have windows xp and was hesitant at 1st because of some other reviews saying it was locking up. I have not had any lock-up issues, it runs very smooth. I had doubts that a program like this could teach me to type, but I am happy to see it really works.Customer Review: Giving us a great beginning to typing
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased Mavis Beacon as part of our homeschool to teach my 8 and 10 year old boys proper typing skills. They use it 10 - 15 minutes a day and both really enjoy it. We haven't been at it long enough to know the outcome, but they are using it faithfully, love the games after doing a lesson and never complain. That's worth a lot!
