Software Reviews of Mavis Beacon Typing 17 [OLD VERSION]
Customer Review: difficulty downloading program
Summary: 1 Stars
I cannot rate this product, Mavis Beacon Typing 17, since I cannot access it. Not sure what the problem is but I have a new computer Sony Lap Top with Windows What's the problem? Dissatisfied customer.Mavis Beacon Typing 17 (Win/Mac)Customer Review: Mavis Beacon Typing
Summary: 5 Stars
I was very happy with my purchase.The lessons on the cd are a great and I'm having fun while I'm learning. Thank-you.Customer Review: Has Adware, but a decent tutorial
Summary: 3 Stars
I broke from my golden rule of buying software from a store when I purchased this program which I have a few complaints about.
1:) Netzero adware. How a commercial costing $20 (in the store) puts adware on your computer without your permission is beyond me.
2:) Dated visuals. Vista has to temporarily downgrade it's visuals in order to accommodate its games and videos. Also, the font size is far too small and the overall look is from 1995 where CD rom games first started
3:) Proceeds too fast from letter to letter. I actually downloaded a free typing software in order to review certain troublesome letters.
That being said it will help you to type better (I'm typing fluently with both hands now thanks to this and other software I have found on the internet and I'm still working on my speed) and is decent overall, but I would not recommend it to you unless you don't care about the three complaints listed
Customer Review: Mavis Beacon Typing 17
Summary: 5 Stars
We homeschool, and most of the "learning is fun" type computer programs we have purchased in the past either fell short of any real learning aspect or taught the material well, but wasn't too fun. However, my 10-yr-old little girl really liked Mavis Beacon. It was fun and really turns the lessons into fun games. Usually, we have to tell her how long to practice on her guitar, or other school activity, but she will spend 30 minutes several times a week practicing her typing and we don't have to remind her. I would definitely recommend this program.Customer Review: learning computer

I purchase Mavis Beacon teaches typing for my grandaughter as she was so behind in school in the computer class. It seems to be helping her. And then I thought it would help my husband to learn the computer too.
