[Trainer-talk] Typing teaching software

[David Sexton]

Good recommendations from everyone. $5 would be about right here the monthly
salaries for teachers are less than $100.
I've written to Marvel Soft, APH, and Yes Accessibility and hoping for good
news.

American Printing House also sells a typing tutorial.  I haven't heard as
many good things about is as I have for the one from MarvelSoft.  Given that
the school in India can doubtless afford neither of them, it might be worth
writing to both and asking if they would donate a not-for-resale copy to the
school, or sell it for $5 or something within their means.

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.
