[Trainer-talk] Typing teaching software

[David Goldfield]

I don't know of a free accessible typing teaching program off the top of 
my head.  However, Marvelsoft's Talking Typing Teacher from 
www.marvelsoft.com is well worth the $99 or so that they're asking.  It 
is very interactive, comes with lessons for all age groups as well as 
fun typing games.  It is rare that today's blindness assistive 
technology really impresses me but this program really blew me away.
